okay, the "Scale Composition" should have worked perfectly. "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). It is odd that "Scale Composition" did not run properly for you, but you were able to get it done in the end so I guess it's not a big deal.

Bruce,
the one you suggested named "Scale Composition" I found sitting 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 if the window came up blank.

did that but wouldn't� work properly with cameras precomps etc.

What worked� for me was the recursive scale script Wilson 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:

Two options come to mind: first, try turning on 'Collapse Transformations' on the layer that represents your 720p comp in the high-res comp. It is the same button as Continuously Rasterize. Second, try running the 'scale comp' script found in File > Scripts.

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 but the result is pixelated and ugly.
Any solutions?
thanx
