questions about vidding comics

[ghost_lingering]

People who vid comics! I'm trying to figure out some source acquisition/workflow stuff and I have questions.

The comic I'm looking to vid is Saga, which is an Image Comics title. Image sells DRM free downloads, which is what I'm leaning towards using for the vid, but they have different formats available and I'm not sure which would be best for vidding purposes: PDF, ePub, & CBR/CBZ. Any recommendations? Are there any reasons why I should not use their digital files for vidding purposes and use scans instead?

I'm going to be using Adobe programs for this and the first stop will be prepping the images in Photoshop. If I go with PDFs the workflow is fairly straightforward, but I'm not as familiar with ePub or CBR/CBZ files. What would I need to do to prep/transcode those files if those are the best options?

(Also, not sure how I should tag this -- Tech: clipping? A new tag?)

Woo, Saga vid!

I'm open to adding more tags if you come up with one you like.

Someday a Saga vid! Someday!

Re: tagging ... Tech: Still Image maybe? I'm not really sure what this fits as.
