Batch Interpret Footage & change comp settings

I'm trying to create or find a script that will batch interpret footage (movie files) at 24fps, then creat comps of each footage file with specific aspect ratio settings, horizontally fit to fill each, and re-naming the comps created to reflect the change by adding "_sor" before the ".mov" extension. I usually add 5 frames to the comps so no frames get cut off the end and the new comps end in black. Any scripts out there that do something like this or is this something someone could help me with? Thanks a ton!

You could modify the Process Footage script:

as a framework for your tasks. It does change some interpret settings, creates comps, changes their name. It's well documented, so it should be easy to understand. Because you don't need setting effect properties, you can save some time.

Wish you happy programming!
