By the same token, other broadcasters may be fine with a 16:9 version of your project \u2014 but your master file may exist in a wider (2.39:1) aspect, which means that you\u2019ll need to deliver several variations of your final project.<\/p>\n
Personally speaking, it\u2019s quite common for the projects I work on today to require at least three or four different deliverables<\/strong>. There’s typically one high-quality ProRes master, an h264 web master, and a reframed 16:9 broadcast deliverable at the very least.<\/p>\n In order to streamline the process when delivering three or more files to my clients, I\u2019ll often use pre-created compositions in Adobe After Effects<\/strong> to save time. Specifically, my compositions\/deliverables have been set up using the following two steps:<\/p>\n Create a master After Effects composition<\/strong> (in full 4K resolution) that will house the high-quality master file of the project.<\/p>\n Create secondary After Effects compositions<\/strong> with various aspect ratios and resolutions that all contain a scaled version of the master composition in the timeline.<\/p>\n I have a project template that\u2019s been set up in this way, so whenever I need to create deliverables, I can simply drop my master file into the master composition (step one), and it\u2019ll automatically populate in the secondary compositions (step two).<\/p>\n That way, since my project template was already set up before hand, all I need to do is drop the master file into the right comp, and the rest of the work is automated for me. The only final step involves adding each comp to the render queue and sending the files off to the client.<\/strong><\/p>\n Every project is different and not all of my projects require the exact same deliverables, which is the case with most filmmakers. That said, I try to include as many possible variations of frame sizes and aspect ratios as possible in my template (4:3, 16:9. 720p, 1080p, etc.) and then I\u2019ll only add the comps that I need to the render queue for any given project.<\/p>\n This is just one of countless ways that Adobe After Effects<\/strong> can be used to enhance and streamline your workflow \u2014 and it works like a charm every time.<\/p>\n How do you work with mutli-aspect deliverables in After Effects?<\/strong>\u00a0Give us your tips and techniques in the comments below!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While After Effects may be an extremely powerful VFX and motion graphics tool, it can be just as useful for workflow tasks like creating multiple deliverables of \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":65832,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[30,3291,21,39],"tags":[649,1662,4690,190,5376,48],"class_list":["post-class-post-62671","post-class-post","post-class-type-post","post-class-status-publish","post-class-format-standard","post-class-has-post-thumbnail","post-class-hentry","post-class-category-after-effects","post-class-category-motion-graphics-2","post-class-category-tutorials","post-class-category-video-editing","post-class-tag-adobe-after-effects","post-class-tag-deliverables","post-class-tag-multi-aspect-compositions-in-after-effects","post-class-tag-quick-tip","post-class-tag-video-editing","post-class-tag-workflow"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nStep 1: Create Master Composition<\/h3>\n
