Hi,
I’m working on an animated serial which I create the still images in Photoshop then animate and render in AE.
I want to make 16:9 TV quality for Europe Broadcasting but really confused about the pixel aspect ratio and the image sizes that I create in Photoshop.
Also confused in Composition Settings and Fps issue in AE. Please tell me the what professional settings that I have to follow step by step firstly in Photoshop than in AE.
At the end of the project I have to give a DVD copy to the client (which must be 16:9)
and the whole project in video format and I don’t know what kind of video or compressor will be proper for next broadcasting steps.
I’ve read some articles saying for Pal Widescreen (16:9) the composition settings must be 1024x576. Is it ok? and In Photoshop which pixel aspect ratio do I have to use Square or Widescreen Pal also after importing AE do I have to work in square pixels or change the aspect ratio to D1/DV PAL Widescreen 1.42 mode.
Also there is a sound question. 44Hz or 48 Hz?
And the last: I’m not sure about rendering process: Interlaced or De-interleced or Progressive?
Thank you very much for your time and for your patience.
