Script: Resize Comp

[John Gate]

Thank you for your reply,

I tried it and it works good but i want to just set a width only and height to remain same.
When i used this included script, and chose width, it automatically resized the height too.

I hope someone have delt with this situation with scripting here.

You should do the same thing that “Scale Composition.jsx” does — use a null to manipulate the entire scene:

1) Create a new 3D null.
2) Step through all layers in the comp, and make all unparented layers a child of the null. (Pick up bonus points if you fix a bug in Scale Composition by correctly handling locked layers!)
3) Resize the comp as you have above.
4) Move the null half the difference in width to the right.
5) Delete the 3D null.

That will resize the layers to maximum width, not re-position them within the new width of the comp.

The problem that John is having is that when you change the comp size through the comp settings window, the default behavior puts the anchor of that resize in the center of the comp. When you change the size of a comp via scripting, it works as if you set the resize anchor to the upper left corner.
