"recursiveScaleComp" fulfills the same purpose but also will scale any comps that are used in the parent comp, whereas "Scale Composition" would not (it would just use the scale parameter, thereby stretching out the image).

okay, the "Scale Composition" should have w= orked perfectly. "recursiveScaleComp" fulfills the same purpose b= ut also will scale any comps that are used in the parent comp, whereas &quo= t;Scale Composition" would not (it would just use the scale parameter,= thereby stretching out the image).

Bruce,
the one you suggested named "Scale Composition" I found sitti= ng in the scripts folder,
which was blank, the other was "recursiveScaleComp" which i downloaded.
Opening both in a text editor showed different coding too.

Evan,

The script Wilson named is the same one I mentioned in my first email, so I'm confused as to how it could have worked i= f the window came up blank.

did that but wouldn't=EF=BF=BD work properly with cameras= precomps etc.

What worked=EF=BF=BD for me was the recursive scale script Wi= lson suggested!

I'll try reinstalling the scale composition script though Bruce.

Thank you Bruce!
I have collapsed transforms , but since it involves precomps rotated in 3d space it ruins the view.
As for the scale composition script, it appears with no options:

Hello all!
.. client wants stills from a promo to be printed as posters.
Project was created at 720p but almost all elements are AE solids and high =
rez images.
I tried creating a a new high rez comp and dumping the 720 one  in there bu=
t the result is pixelated and ugly.
Any solutions?
thanx
