    How do you make it show the centering guides when moving elements around?

    Yes this is a simple tutorial, it is a QUICK TIP, not a revolutionary learning experience! Some people forget with all the effects available in AE, there are still layer styles. Thanks for the reminder Stefan!

    How did you get that font so wide? Mine is really thin…

    Really nice tutorial, I completely forgot about these, and I screwed up the ramp on mine, I like how you put the white above the frame, mine was right in the middle. xD it looked ugly

    Thanks for the tutorial. What keyboard shortcut did you use to make the title safe borders show up and disappear while you centered AEtuts+? (at 1:08)
