Crop Comp automatically resizes precompositions to their actual content bounds, eliminating unnecessary empty space and optimizing your compositions.
Smart Content Detection
The script analyzes all layers within a precomp to find the actual bounding box of visible content. It considers all layer types including shapes, text, solids, and nested comps.
What Gets Adjusted
- • Composition dimensions to match content
- • Anchor points remain relative to content
- • All expressions update automatically
- • Parent relationships stay intact
- • Animation timing preserved
Perfect For
- • Cleaning up oversized precomps
- • Preparing assets for reuse
- • Optimizing render regions
- • Reducing memory usage
- • Creating tight asset boundaries
Workflow Benefits
No more manually adjusting comp settings or dealing with huge empty spaces around your actual content. This is especially useful when working with imported assets or after complex transformations.
Handles Complex Scenarios
The tool intelligently handles rotated layers, 3D layers, and even content that extends beyond the original comp bounds. It ensures nothing important gets cut off while removing all unnecessary space.
