Resizing Layers Properly

[fly-qp]

Hello! First of all i love this package and its really great work & super fast. Just one question since I could not find documentation on how to properly resize layers. I found a workaround like the following:

image = mv.layer.Image(media_path, duration=duration)
scale_factor = helper.scale_to_cover(
    target_size=self.scene_size, current_size=image.size
)
scene = mv.layer.Composition(size=self.scene_size, duration=duration)
scene.add_layer(image, scale=scale_factor)

def scale_to_cover(target_size, current_size):
    tw, th = target_size
    cw, ch = current_size
    width_ratio = tw / cw
    height_ratio = th / ch
    return max(width_ratio, height_ratio)

But wouldn't it be more convenient having a function like ‘concatenate’ or ‘crop’, so we don't have to create a second layer?

Thank you for your interest. As you mentioned, this type of resizing is typically done by specifying a scale_factor like in scene.add_layer(image, scale=scale_factor). We could also offer a shortcut function like mv.resize(), but the actual resizing speed does not seem to change much even if it is implemented.

Would this resize function be convenient if implemented?

Hey sorry for my late reply. I think it should be mentioned in the docs if possible since it's very common use case for basic video editing :)

Thank you. I added the related description to README.md. If you have any other concerns, please do not hesitate to report them.
