How to resize an image so it's content would stay centered?

Now there is a hope an a half Wink

I have broken my procedure into sections, makes it easier to follow, however the end result is a 1.2 second video (meant as a transition)
Half size version looks like this:  https://i.imgur.com/ChyQ7tO.mp4

1. Scale the image to 50 layers using the gimp_gmic_qt plugin. Get the plugin from http://www.gmic.eu

2. Merge the 50 layer (scaled) layers with a 50 layer animation. You have to get the animation from somewhere. The merge uses Ofnuts ofn-interleave-layers.py python plugin
see: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-too...es/scripts  ofn-interleave-layers.zip dated 2020-04-25  Unzip read the help notes. The plugin goes in your plug-ins folder.

3. Exporting the 50 layers to individual files to render into a video. Many video editors will take a sequence of numbered files, Avidemux does and the one shown in the video Openshot. I normally use command line FFmpeg but the particular command is no good in Windows.
Exporting the layers uses a script  export-layers-plus.scm  Zipped and attached. Unzip and put in your Gimp scripts folder.
