Shrinking footage and keeping transformations
I’ve been working on some animations from image files that are too large for AE to buffer. I don’t want to re-do everything I’ve done so far. I’m working with 3 gigs of RAM but I get an insufficient image buffer error on animations that are 2000 by 2500 pixels with no effects. There are masks and motion blur applied. I’m thinking the only thing I can do is shrink my footage files to a smaller image size, maybe 1500 pixels or so. But when I do this none of my anchor points, positions, and rotations are to scale anymore. Is there some way to scale all of the transformations down to exactly match my new footage without just re-doing all of the keyframing?

How about selecting the footage layer and precomposing (LAYER > PRECOMPOSE). Choose the LEAVE ALL ATTRIBUTES option. You can then adjust the image size in the precomp without affecting the transformations and masks applied in the main comp.
