I didn’t explain what I’m trying to do clearly, sorry. I need to expand the layer, not what’s on the layer.
For example, if I put a lens flare on layer that’s 100% scale, then the layer moves, the flare glow suddenly stops at the layer edge. I can make the layer larger, then put my flare on it, and I can move it without this problem. But when I apply Mocha corner pin, it won’t work if the layer is scaled up. If I put my flare into a precomp and put the tracking on the precomp, the precomp edge creates the same cut-off problem. Either way, if I scale the precomp up, I just get a giant flare.
Does this make sense?

I don’t understand how this is supposed to work. Scaling up the precomp will make everything inside it bigger, not just expand the edge.

Okay, thanks. Hopefully all will be fine and I can just stick in a USB dongle for anytime I need to run software updates and not worry about airport. Because you’re right, I can’t find anywhere that says an airport card is needed, so I guess the ethernet ID comes from some other part.

What’s an “Ethernet ID”? If the computer is getting that ID from a piece of hardware, it would make sense that a dead airport card or no card would fail to provide that ID. What if you need to replace that part, would this mean needing to reinstall and register again? It just seems silly. Why can’t it check the main computer serial number? And the horror stories all seemed to be about Final Cut 6, not any earlier versions.
Maybe I’m being overly paranoid, but we once had the processor die on a G5 (was under warranty and Apple replaced it), but all our Adobe software no longer worked, claiming we had it activated on too many computers. It took several re-installs and about three hours on the phone with Adobe tech support (mainly on hold or being indirectly accused of trying to pirate the software) to get that situation resolved.
