24bit at 44.1khz Audio

Hi there,

I'm making a music video in After Effects. The audio file is 24bit at 44.1khz. The usual rates are, however, 16bit at 44.1khz (=lower quality because of less bit depth) and  24bit at 48khz (higher quality).

Am I good to go with choosing 48khz in my After Effects project settings (even though the audio file is 44.1khz) in order to maintain the 24bit depth? Will this have any effect on the actual audio (which I won't import with my AE compositions) during the editing  process in Premiere Pro later on?

Wisdom :

"If 16 bit at 44k1 (CD) is like being given 65,000 pounds/dollars a year. Then 16 bit at 88k is like being given 65,000 twice a year. However, 24 bit at 44k1 is like being given 16,000,000 a year."

Thank you.
