Does anyone know how to change after effect project files from hd to sd. I want to change the entire project so edits and previews will speed up. I know how to render sd, but that is not the solution I am looking for. Any suggestions will be appreciated

Why you don’t try renders the project with half resolution? it can be more faster to renders project.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have tried that, but the ram previews are ridiculously slow, with the project file being so large (HD). I want to make edits, but the files are so large it takes forever to make one small change.

Change the preview to Quarter when you edit the project it will more faster when you edit.

Here’s another workaround, select your composition in the project browser, make sure its highlighted.
Now go to After Effects Menu – File – Scripts -> Scroll down to Scale Composition.jsx
Run it
a Window will Pop up with 3 circles you can tick , you can either use Scale Factor and scale your comp from 1 to 0.5 (to have it in Half res)
or
you can also tick the Width option and just enter a custom width.
This should actually scale down ALL the existing layers in the composition to the right proportions rather than keeping it in HD but only scaling the output
