I've used the included scr= ipt many times as well an it has worked fairly well

Make sure non of your layers are locked or it will fail.

Mainly for scaling a c= omp up, not down.

It isn't a one click deal though a= nd does take some messing with afterwards.

My trick= is to render a version before running the script, run the script then bring= in the render and scale it to the new size and put it in difference mode.

That way I can scrub through the timeline and see an= y major issue that I need to fix.
