In the Composition panel, drag the compass so that its anchor point is over the dot in the

panel, press P to reveal its Position property, and then enter 124, –62.
Move the current-time indicator from 3:00 to 5:00 to manually preview the scaling. Both
the text and the compass scale down in size, so that it appears that the camera is moving

Press the Home key to return to 0:00, and drag the work area end bracket to the end of the
time ruler.
Select the Road Trip layer in the Timeline panel, and press S to hide its Scale property. If
you entered Position values for the compass, select the compass layer, and press P to hide
the Position property, too. Then choose File > Save.
