I think I;m getting there

Are there any problems with this workflow?

I’ve remade the animations as psd files at 1920×1080. I’ve animated the layers of the individual files using PS animation feature – each file contains from 10 to 15 layers and 5 to 15 second long sequences So far, this is good for me because I am familiar with PS, Dave suggested AE but I haven’t used it before. I have also found that I can then export these files from PS as movies using either Apple ProRes 422 at a rate of 25fps, or using the animation codec. I can then line these files up on a timeline in FCP, using compatible codec, and output at high resolution for DVD, projection or lower for web streaming.

will I have any problems with 19×9 ratio on the web?

How can I stream on the web at 16 x 9 and get the best quality

Any suggestions..?
