Crops the active comp or selected comps.

How to use?

To utilize the Auto Crop Comp feature, follow these steps:

1. Run the tool to bring up a set of options.
2. In the options section, you will find the following choices:
   • Padding: This allows you to specify the amount of padding to add around the cropped composition. You can use this to create a margin around the content, if needed.
   • Ignore Items: By selecting this option, you can choose which types of layers should be ignored during the cropping process. This includes nulls, hidden layers, and adjustment layers.
3. After selecting your desired options, you can proceed to use the corresponding buttons:
   • Active Comp - Auto Crop: This button crops the active composition based on the layers it contains.
   • Active Comp - Selected Layers: Use this button to crop the active composition based on the selected layers.
   • Selected Comps in Timeline: This button crops the selected composition in the timeline.
   • Selected Comps in Project: If you choose this option, each selected composition in the project panel will be cropped based on the layers it contains.

Remember, you can also crop compositions without accessing the UI by using the shortcut cmd/ctrl + click based on your last settings.
