Using the Set Attribute of Comp block.

 

Here is an example which you find in the Automation Blocks library at
Examples/Comps/Comp Settings/Performance/Set Performance Low Quality (fast)

It disables motion blur and frame blending and sets resolution to quarter

It works when I click on a single composition, but not with multiple or selected compositions. Please check the video and resolve the issue.

If you want to set it for all compositions, you need to loop over them exactly in the same way as in my other examples below (like setting the work area).
