Definitely recommended. (Note: articles can be found under the "NEW ARTICLES 2006" section)

The claims about After Effects are pushing it. How can you say that AE allows you to work outside the set frame format when the comp itself has a fixed format? And putting 3D images on 2D planes in 3D space is NOT maintaining any data about the 3D object itself. It's still just a projection of the object.

As for the editing... Purge your metadata before you publish!
