These are versions of the Compify 720×486 script that work with Footage sources instead of Comps.
Basically this script takes any Footage Items that are selected in the Project window, creates new 720×486 D1 Comps, adds and resizes the footage item to fit and gives you the option to add them to the Render Queue. Also allows adding custom prefix and suffix to control the naming of the new items (vs. AE’s automated naming scheme that’s not always ideal)
The w_preset script (AE7 only) additionally allows you to add an animation preset.

FOOTAGE_COMPIFY-720×486 - creates a 720×486 Comp & adds the footage
FOOTAGE_COMPIFY-720×486_w_Preset-AE7 - Same as above with an anim. preset
FOOTAGE_COMPIFY_w_Preset-AE7 - Creates the comp at the same size as the footage

A lot of people like to work at 720×540 square pixels, but need to final output D1 aspect ratio 720×486. This usually involves a tedious process of creating a 720×486 D1 Comp, adding the 720×540 Comp to it and resizing it to fit. This script automates that process with the option of adding the new D1 comps to the Render Queue. The script also allows for user definable prefix and suffix to be added the names of the new 720×486 Comps. Basically the script takes any selected Comps (they can be any size, but i imagine the more common sizes will be 720×540 and 648×486) and puts them in a newly created 720×486 D1 Comp and resizes them to fit. It then asks you if you want to add these new Comps to the Render Queue.

*** New features in AE7 now allow adding an Animation Preset to the newly created Comp. Check the link below for that new script***
