Definitely upvoting that one. It's been a frustrating omission for years that you can't change the Anchor Point of anything without manually sliding things about "by eye", or cut'n'pasting values and/or using a calculator to work out the new ones.

The weird thing is, it IS supported for Mask shapes here: https://fxhome.com/reference-manuals/hitfilm-express

In the section 'Creating Masks' it describes how:

Transforming the Shape

Using the Select tool in the Viewer you can transform the mask shape in the same way you would the layer itself. The currently selected mask on the timeline or in the Controls panel will also be selected in the Viewer, with a bounding box around the shape. This can be used to scale and position the shape without changing the shape.Click within the mask and drag to reposition it. Hold SHIFT and drag to reposition the anchor point from the center of the layer.

As you click and drag the marker, the Anchor and Position values auto update, and yet: I've never wanted to do that for mask shapes, only everything else. 🤔

Oh wow... how is this still not a feature? It's so basic. And it can't be hard to implement, surely?
