Display every frame of the movie

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to find an expression to do an effect like some sort of "scanning" of every frame of the footage.
Imagine a movie: i would like one frame to be scaled and displayed and then the next frame to be scaled and displayed on the right of the previous frame that continues to be displayed as a still image and so on, like a sort of a grid with every frame of the movie.
I would like to decide the scale, so that it's possible to decide how many frames will cover the entire surface of the movie and than when the space il fulfilled have another blank page and so on.
Sorry for my english, i hope you get the idea!

I think it can be done, but it will take fairly sophisticated expressions for time remapping, scale, and position. After you set up the expressions you'd have to duplicate your layer as many times as you have frames. All the expressions would need access to common timing parameters (how long does it take each frame to scale up and how long until the next frame starts to scale (possibly provided by slider controls).
Position would depend on the maximum scale (how many frames per page?) and the layer index.
Scale would depend on time, layer index, and the timing parameters.
Time remapping would depend only on the layer index.
I'm guessing it would take a few hours to set this up and get it working right.

oh thank you, you confirmed my suspect that i need as many copies of the movie as frames it's composed.
The scaling doesn't need to be animated, it's a standard parameter. I mean, if i have a PAL 720x576 composition and a PAL 720x576 footage i need to scale it because i need to see more than one frame per time.
Are there some examples of expressions involving time remap and freeze frame?

Ok, I'm doing the trick by doing multiple expression from a comp to another. I'll post the solution once it's finished and clean, now it still has some points to be defined better.
