If that’s the case (I don’t know for sure), have you considered buying a cooling stand with a fan?
You can also render to an image sequence in case of crashes. Then you just change the starting point in the Render Settings, and pick up the render again. When done, you import the whole sequence for a really quick QT render of the sequence. Good when you’re crashing.

To get even line weight, I think you’d have to add the lines after the animation is done, or add them over the completed comp, maybe by applying Find Edges to the comp or part of it. Or trace bitmap in Flash.
Outside of AE, might Swift3D do the job? You’d have to start over, though.

Yes, but it will not be that clear if it is being played back on Standard def DVD machines. Your video will be reduced to the resolution I stated, then enlarged by projecting.
Anyway, it sounds as if you’ve made up your mind. Good luck.

Yes, the idea is to design it in one comp. If they say one file, then so be it.
However, if it is being played on DVDs, then the resolution must be as I indicated, since the DVD spec is very stringent. The only exception would be if they were playing back on Blu-Ray or HD-DVD.
So. I ask again. Why 10777×2000? Why those numbers? What is the specific technical reason for choosing those specific numbers?

There was an issue with Blackmagic Decklink cards a little while back… though you don’t have one, it seems. It had to do with setting the card prefs (in AE) to faster previews, if I recall. Ah, here we go:
“If you have a Decklink card, try setting your video preview pref to “faster”, and/or matching the 16:9 or 4:3 setting to your 16:9 or 4:3 comp format … all in the prefs.”
You may have a smiliar problem with the Io … can’t say, sorry.

Why that size?
I ask because the screen size does not determine the size of our work — the playback device determines the size of our work.
For example, if your work were being played back on 4 DVDs, then your (design) comp size would be 4×720 pixels wide by 540 pixels tall for NTSC. Then you’d drag that into 4 DV comps for rendering. That sort of thing. The screen size does not matter.
So. Why the size? How are you playing back the animations? DVD? Hard drive?

Yep — Encore is used to author DVDs. If you don’t want to author DVDs, you don’t need to use Encore.

PPT can handle video, but I’m not sure what it prefers. Maybe WMV, MPEG-1 or FLV/SWF.

They used to be called “schecret”. So the truth lies in-between.
