Possible to precompose maintaining layer size?
Hi There,
I’m curious if anybody out there knows if it’s possible to precomp any given layer so that the dimensions of the newly created composition match that of the extents of the layer rather than the parent composition dimensions.
Is there a native setting in AE that I can switch on, or perhaps a script that does this?
Thanks for your time and help!

Thanks for the reply, and for the advice. I want to quickly make a dimension fitting pre-comp while I’m in the timeline, it’s more of a work flow issue. I wish Adobe would just put an option in the pre-comp dialog that pops up when you create a pre-comp from layers in the timeline. Something like: “make dimensions of comp match extents of layers” or something to that effect.

Thanks for the link. Just submitted the feature request. I do think it would be a useful option for a user, even if layers that don’t have any spatial data are included in the precomp.

I also sent a feature request for this one….fingers crossed we get it soon.
Pre-comping, adjusting ROI to fit biggest layer, then going back into parent comp to re-position back into place is not the most elegant of workflows eh! I’m prepping a giant AI file into easily workable groups of animatable layers at the mo and it would save me ALOT of time!
