I've got a 100x100px composition with a Mask containing a Stroke effect used to animate the drawing of a vector. The problem I'm having is when I drop this composition into a larger one and attempt to scale it up, the Brush Size in Stroke remains the same (e.g. the graphic is drawn with thin lines, instead of the thicker looking ones in the smaller comp).

I'm thinking some sort of expression magic might be the fix to this, but any input on how to maintain line thickness at any resolution/scale would be much appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: I've attached a small demo project showing the issue I'm running into below: http://hellocld.com/stuff/stroke-issue.aep

Scaling "Stroke" Effect "Brush Size" while scaling composition?
