Beautifully succinct. Thanks. One question though I'm importing a lot of graphics from other programs... > As long as you work at 720x480 (with DV aspect rectangular pixels) and > 29.97 > fps, you'll be set. Are things going to import "Stretched" at the ratio? I've had this happen a number of times before since AE is 724X486 (or something like that...) thanks again m ________________ Matthew Guemple Art Director/03 mo.og at verizon.net 646.734.6601 www.gridd.com http://www.creativehotlist.com/ index.asp?linkTarget=fullProfile.asp&indID=19599
