Mirror Positions is a script that reverses the position of layers based on the center of the composition.
When creating various motion graphics in After Effects, there are often situations where I need to send layers to the opposite side based on the center of the screen. This could be for creating symmetrical structures or introducing changes by flipping the screen.
However, sending layers to the opposite side of the screen is not always easy. Dragging them manually with the mouse can be uncertain, and setting up pre-comps for this purpose can be cumbersome. The most reliable and convenient method is to calculate the Position values directly by using half of the composition width or height and adding/subtracting the current position. But even this becomes a hassle when dealing with multiple layers.
Mirror Positions simplifies this process with just one click. It can even handle multiple layers at once.
I hope that this small script will save you time in your work.
