    Hello there,

    I am new to after effects and just started to learn the program. I have a special project I need to do for the company I work for and I can’t seem to figure out how to get the program to get the specs I need them to be. I need to create a project that is 16×1936 square pixels. Then it needs to be repeated 4xs for a total size of 16×7,7,744 square pixels.

    I tried to do this last year in flash and it wouldn’t allow me to go larger that 2880. I’m really stumped. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you,
    Brittany

    After Effects can create a comp as small as 4×4 or as large as 30,000 x 30,000. When you create a new composition, you can set the width and height to whatever you’d like. If you’ve already made a composition, you can change its dimensions at any time via its composition settings.

    However, Ae is both deep and broad, and it’s very hard to jump right in without taking a little time to learn fundamental concepts first.

    Since you’re new to After Effects, I’d recommend starting with the following link, in which Adobe’s Todd Kopriva pulls together some important introductory materials:
