Hi there!

So I went ahead and tested the same script on my macbook pro with an older version of AE (2018).
The images render exactly the same way (meaning, about 50% bigger than I would expect).

Would expect it to be a no brainer – the kind of thing that should simply behave the way I’d expect. 24 pixels is 24 pixels, no reason for an image to occupy more pixels than it has.

What’s going on? am I the first person to encounter this issue? Did all the coders abandon AE and switch to Nuke or something? (that actually doesn’t sound far fetched at all).

Hi there,

I’m not a pro scripter, and I’m sure someone with more knowledge will be able to provide a more thorough solution.
In principle I think that process is possible and quite simple to code. You won’t need to dive too deep into extendscript for that either.
I’m currently writing my first extendscript tool myself (I’ve written scripts for other software like 3DS max a long time ago, so I have some basic understanding of the process), and most of what I needed was super easy to find examples for online (a lot of it in this forum’s extensive archives).
If you’re not super busy I highly encourage trying to script it yourself, you’ll likely be inspired by the samples you find to write even more elaborate tools for yourself that will end up speeding your workflow significantly and make you feel superhuman!
Good luck.
