set the scale of {EPSObject | videoClip} to ratio

# Examples

# Description

Use the scale property to change the appearance of EPS or video clips.

The scale is the natural size of the object content divided by the size of the rectangle the content is placed in. For example, if the *ratio* is 1, a video clip plays at the movie's normal size; if the *ratio* is 2, the video clip is blown up by a factor of 2.

For EPS objects, this property is supported only on Unix systems with Display PostScript installed.
