Rendering a comp at higher resolution

Hi
I've made an animation with composition- and layer-settings at PAL 720x576. When I was finished I learned that the hole animation should ble scaled up to about twice the size. Is there any way to give the comp and layers a higher resolution so it fits the scaling without changing all the layers resolution? I've tried to do this but it gives some strange results in the animation (mask shape animation).

With Motion Math, in version6.0 and previous versions, there was a script that did such a trick rather well. Now that Motion math is no longer part of AE, there should be an Expression script that does something like this for you. You may want to search the COW Archives for the keywords Scale and Comp to see if you can find a solution that was elaborated here at the COW. You may also want to have a look at your scripts folder to see if there is a JS script that does what you need. I believe there is but I'm not on a machine to confirm this.

1. use nesting in new compostion (in project window drag existing comp to comp icon, this will automaticaly adjust previouse comps setting, such as lengt etc).
2. CTRL + K to change new comp setettings. adjust your target size.
3. scale nested comp to new dimensions.
4. switch on Continuously Rasterize in timeline
somtimes this rasterization blows up scenes with nested 3d comps, but generealy it should work.
