Here’s a little more context for my specific scenario.

If each of my render layers consisted of just a single layer, I could simply drop them into my main composition, replace them with the high-res versions when ready, and adjust their scale accordingly.

However, the issue is that I’m using Multi-EXR image sequences, which contain multiple layers (diffuse, gloss, transparency, etc.). Because of this, each sequence needs to be placed in its own composition in After Effects before being added to the main composition.

The problem arises when using half-res render layers—once I replace them with the high-res versions, the images become scaled out of bounds within their own compositions. This means I would have to manually adjust the composition resolution for each render layer. Additionally, I would need to adjust the pre-comps within the main composition, making the process even more cumbersome
