Ok
I just want to create an animated map and some text effects. I will then import these clips into Power Director 9 for the final editing and production of my project.( I was thinking I was to edit and produce my whole project in AE)

So what I learned so far is that I will save these AE clips as lossless, Quick Time with png encoder .Other settings like frame rate etc I will match them to the video clips format from my footage I took with my compact camera.
Does that sound right? :))
thanks a lot for your help 🙂

Thats great Micheal, however there is still some few more settings that trouble me.
Things like interlaced, upper or lower field, square or non square pixel, frame rate
In render settings should I leave settings as they are?

In compression settings, should I check interlace?
Should I check audio settings and set to maximum 48khz,16bit stereo?

I think thats all for exporting. thanks a lot man

yes i have 2 gigs of ram, OS win 7 ultimate 32bit (upgraded from Vista.) CPU Intel core 2 duo t7300 @ 2Ghz.
Well , doing small projects it not to bad however if I work with HD it preview really slow. but thats all I have at the moment. cant afford a new pc at the mo 🙁
I just want to create some animations like i mentioned previously and maybe some text animations to include them in a slideshow in Power director.(containing photos and video clips)Im just overwhelmed at how much import settings exist.
I just want to burn to a dvd that will be viewed on widescreen tv sets mainly on dvd players.
Questions; does it have to be in pal or ntsc? does it even matter for dvd playback?
what about pixel aspect ratio?
what file format? mpeg4? mov? QT?
Lossless I guess is the way to go
Im afraid AE projects will clash in PD?
I dont know
Sorry for too many questions

Merry Christmas xx
