16×9 After Effects Question
okay we are now showing our videos in 16×9 and i guest this raises a lot of questions. what is the size i use for the my compisitions. usually the size is 720×480 what is it for 16×9. are there any good resources that explain the square pixel and other stuff like that. also i have used the widescreen setting in the comp. is this good or not. is makes everything narrow.

If the graphics are instead created in a computer tool such as Photoshop, many designers are used to sizing the graphics for import into non-linear-editors using the non-square pixel structure of digital video (720H x 480V). Often, 4:3 graphics are created using a canvas of 720H x 540V, and then resized before export to 720×480. The result when imported into the NLE will be correctly scaled images. For Widescreen production, the designer should instead work with a canvas of 853×480, and then scale to 720×480 upon export.

Yes it is the same, as long as you set it to square pixels and not anything else.
