Artie,

Anamorphic video when unsqueezed is 1280x720 for 720p or 1920x1080 for 1080i or 1080p. These should be your final frame sizes for graphics created in Photoshop.

What David says, or larger if you want to animate, but in the same proportions.

Have a wonderful day.

Also remember the square vs non-square (rectangular) pixels issue from Photoshop to video.

True in SD, not true in HD. 1080-line and 720-line HD both use square pixels.
