using a larger clip in a smaller frame?

I am working on a project at 1280 x 720 resolution. I have some shots where I want to pan across an animation. For example if I wanted to do a simple pan down a building. Because the building is about 3x as tall as the characters, I made a building animation at the resolution 1280 x 2160 (3x the heighht).

The plan was to use After effectsw to do the pan on the building, but for some reason AE is crashing on me. If I import this file into a new project in TVPaint, is there any way to let TVPaint keep the entire resolution and then do the pan with KeyFramer? IE when I import it will it is there any way to keep the extra top and bottom, then do the pan there?

I hope that was clear enough.

Thanks!
Matt

Open big and small project. In the small one, open the Keyframer FX and choose the other project as source.

Have you thought about using the camera tool?
