    Centering Several Cast Members In One Go

    A very simple question that I'm sure has a vary simple answer; I'm importing a number of images as a sequence (200 of them, in fact) straight to the stage, but when I do so, they're off center.

    Obviously, I could go through each one and change the coordinates, but is there any way to either select each of the frames on the timeline and change their position together, or specify that I want them in the centre of the stage before I import them?

    Many thanks.

    Hello

    Once you have them on the stage, make sure you have the arrow cursor selected, drag a box ouround the objects you want to select. Open the ALIGN panel and click on Center Horizontal and Center Vertical.

    Thanks for the help so far; my only problem is, that because my images have been imported as a sequence in the timeline (i.e. an individual image resides in each of the frames from 1 - 200), I can only select one image to align at a time.

    I've tried dragging a selection over my frames in the timeline itself, but the alignment changes I make only affect the current frame (the frame that is under the red marker).
