Reset the scale to 100 without changing the size of a layer

Question

Hi there, I've been struggling finding a solution for this. Both by my own attemps as trying to find a solution online.

Basically, I imported an illustrator file with lots of layers. I made a video to which I wanted to overlay the vector illustrations with the same relative proportions to one another one, so I connected all the seperate layers a null and resized them. As the vector layers were uploaded very small, I had to change the scale of the null to somehwere in the 6000%'s. After deleting the null, all the scale values of the layers were set to 6000ish %.

This is very annoying to work with of course and I would like to set the scale back to 100, without changing the size. I have no idea how to do this.

To clarify, I want to reset the scale to 100 without changing anything. Hopefully there's some solution to this.

Thanks in advance.

Assuming the Anchor Points were at the center of each layer.

Using the Precomp command with the Leave All Attributes option would keep them in the center, but if the Anchor Ppoint had been changed to something else that wouldn't help.

In situations like this resizing the original artwork is really the simplest solution.

Aside from resizing the artwork in AI your only option would be to pre-compose that scaled layers. Otherwise there's no way to freeze/ reset transforms simply because that's not how it works in AE.
