after effects composition sizing : how does it all work?
I have learned from watching several tutorials that 1920 X 1080 is the ideal dimensions for composition size in after effects. I was wondering if its the ratio that is most important and if so would it be alright to create a composition that is smaller while still being optimized for being displayed in video format on the web. The reason is because 1920 X 1080 is pretty large and the images I need for the video are not quite large enough to fill out the composition nicely when the dimensions are 1920 X 1080. I would very much appreciate some guidance.

That doesn’t by itself make sense.
The right size for your composition depends on how you will be using the movie that you’re creating—i.e., what devices and/or software will be used to play the video.
If, for example, you are creating a movie to be played full-frame on a high-definition television, then 1920×1080 makes sense.

If your video is going to the web, like Youtube or Vimeo, you could probably get away with 1280×720 that’s a smaller HD sized video.
