Question Regarding Introduction Videos Within After Effects

hey guys, i'm new forums!

 

i want keep pretty short guys i'll try make breif possible. here's problem/question:

 

in adobe after effects cs6, have created intro videos on youtube using battlefield premium template found on youtube , have rendered 1080p h.264 (.mp4) video file format rendered default "best settings". introduction video not last more 5 seconds. having little knowledge on adobe after effects, plan learn more of program using default video editing program (switched sony vegas pro 12) , appear have little dilemma.

 

for regularly put introductions videos, have question you.

 

when made video today introduction in place (i had taken rendered introduction , placed composition , worked around it) noticed template used 1280x720 one. made resolution bit distorted , "larger" usual. question is, have re-render introduction along introduction template or continue doing did today place rendered introduction , work around it?

 

what you guys do?

 

thank much! can't wait hear replies!

first of all, should not think of ae editing program. it's not. after effects motion graphics , compositing application designed produce effects shots or sequences edit in editing program.

 

second, must grasp understanding of project sizes. web it's best work in square pixels. encode 'for web' videos using adobe's media encoder , standard presets. use composition templates comps. don't start new project in rectangular pixel format. use rectangular pixel format rendering specific client specification. i've maybe done twice in last 4 years.

 

if video wrong size or distorted have mixed formats , pixel aspect ratios. please go through files on rendering. that's best place start.
