rd: Composition Setter

download: rd_CompSetter_v2.7.zip

This script displays a palette with controls for changing the duration and frame rate of the current composition, and all nested compositions (pre-comp layers) in it. When you lengthen the composition’s duration, all layers whose out points are at or beyond the end of the composition are also lengthened to the new duration, including layers within pre-comps.

Note: This version of the script requires After Effects CS3 or later. It can be used as a dockable panel by placing the script in a ScriptUI Panels subfolder of the Scripts folder, and then choosing this script from the Window menu.
