What is an efficient way to create a new composition that matches your media?

Creating a new composition that matches your media can be streamlined using an effective method within Adobe After Effects. The process of dragging your media to the "Create a new composition" button at the bottom of the Project panel is optimal because it automatically sets the composition settings—such as resolution, frame rate, and aspect ratio—to match those of the selected media file. This significantly reduces the time spent adjusting settings manually, allowing for a quicker workflow.

This method simplifies the setup process and is particularly useful for users who want to ensure their compositions are perfectly aligned with their media’s specifications without the guesswork involved in manual adjustments. By utilizing this feature, you can focus on the creative aspects of your project rather than the technical setup, which can often be time-consuming.
