Can someone point me in the right direction for this?

This assumes that the text is layer 1 and the comp is selected:


var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
var myLayer = myComp.layer(1);
var myRect = myLayer.sourceRectAtTime(0,true);

if (myRect.width/myComp.width > myRect.height/myComp.height){
var scaleFactor = myComp.width*.8/myRect.width;
}else{
var scaleFactor = myComp.height*.8/myRect.height;
}

var p = myLayer.property("Position").value;
var s = myLayer.property("Scale").value;
var newS = [s[0]*scaleFactor,s[1]*scaleFactor];
myLayer.property("Scale").setValue(newS);

var leftEdge = p[0] + myRect.left*newS[0]/100;
var topEdge = p[1] + myRect.top*newS[1]/100;

deltaX = (myComp.width - myRect.width*newS[0]/100)/2 - leftEdge;
deltaY = (myComp.height - myRect.height*newS[1]/100)/2 - topEdge;

myLayer.property("Position").setValue([p[0]+deltaX,p[1]+deltaY]);
