Like light layers, camera layers have a point of interest that can be used to determine what the
camera looks at. By default, the camera’s point of interest is the center of the composition. That’s
where your text currently is, so that point of interest works well.

1 layer, and press the P key to reveal the Position property for the layer. Create an initial
