New File Preset for Video
Good day,
I am beginning my path of learning Photoshop CS. My question is what File presets are you using for 720×486 NTSC Video? Are you working with 720×540, 72 resolution, background (transparent) and Pixel Aspect Ratio (square)? If so how than are you saving the final file, ie., pct? What size, etc?
Thank you to all that may answer!!!

I use the presets in Photoshop (CS2, but CS has the same) to create 720×480, 0.9 pixel aspect ratio.
That’s all that really matters. Sometimes I start with transparent, sometimes white, it depends on what I’m doing. The resolution doesn’t matter. (Repeat after me: The resolution doesn’t matter. The resolution doesn’t matter. — This is a hard lesson for many people to learn, but ppi/dpi resolution means exactly zero in video.)
I save my files as .PSD.

I’m resizing pict;s in photoshop that will be transfered for a video. they must be sized at a 4 by 3 percent or ratio. How do I do that. Is it crop procedure or an image file size change.
