Chuck I see that you use AE so I guess this is primarily directed to you. I'm trying to teach myself AE CS3 (learning curve = STEEP). I have read various AE forums but this is a much simpler question than you see on those!
When starting a new project in AE do you always set the project & comp sizes to match the final output? For example 90% of my projects will end up on PAL DVD so should I set both sizes to PAL DV at the start?
If I wanted to pan & zoom around a large image (say 2000x1000) would I import this into a PAL DV size comp or initially drag it into a new comp which will blow out the size?
If I sound a bit confused it's because I am!! I'm only used to using PREL etc. and the workflow in AE has got me twisted.
Cheers
