How to Resize After Effect Project With Layers to Bigger Size

Report · Jun 19, 2023

Hello,

Im hoping this problem of mine is an easy fix!

I'm currently working on a project that needs to be repurposed to a bigger scale. There's only one forum I found that had a similar issue however it was released back in 2020 and I dont think it works the same.

My current project is scaled to; W:1080px x H:1920px and it needs to be scaled to; W:1920px x H: 2160px. So it's bigger and a lot more square-er...

When I follow the script format i.e; Files > Scripts > Scale Composition > scale Width. I am able to scale the width to the desired size but the height becomes fixed. When I Adjust the height in composition settings, the composition changes but the layers within the composition doesnt.

My project has a lot layers that bases it off the X,Y,Z axis of the composition, i.e Lighting. Not only that, my project has 21 layers, so manually adjusting each one will take a long time and because this motion is time sensitive, I'm looking for a solution where i can resize the project with all the layers to its new size, quickly and effientingly.

Thank you in advance, I really hope theres a solution to this!

Maybe I should add.. Im looking for a solution that alters the dimension size along with the keyframes as many of my layers usings scale and positioning too

As per the posts linked - there is no perfect solution. you have to put in soem extra work. You can do the base work with whatever comp scaling scripts, but accommodating different aspect ratios will require manual intervention to fix some of the keyframes.
