Hey everyone!
I really tried posting this on AFX forums but for some reason just wasn't having any luck with the f*****g captchas!!!
So anyway this is ultimately for Avenue so I think someone could advise me....
I'm doing new shoots in 1920x1080 and working with the clips in AfterFX. I have a immediate need for 640x480 clips for VJ sets via Avenue... But I know that later I will need full HD for production work. So I'm lost as to what the best workflow is.
I know it's best to work in high res and then scale down. But it seems to me that if I work in high res, then copy everything over into a new comp at 640 and try to scale it, I will end up with some serious issues with masks getting out of wack etc... Unless there is a way to lock everything in place and do a global scale that I'm not aware of.
The other way would be to work in HD, render it out, then bring it back in and scale it down for a lo res comp. However that seems kind of convoluted, and would almost take just as long as making separate comps and doing the tweaking twice, IMO. Does someone have a better workflow?
Sorry for the noob question, I've just switched to HD cams for production but my VJ sets will stay @ 640 for now.
