    Hello, I’m new here and I would like to find an answer for a problem I just had. I am working on AA and during the day, I didn’t have any problem. But around an hour ago, now AA changes the dimension of the work i’m exporting. And it’s annoying me. I tried to look after a solution, but my problem doesn’t to be the usual “change to square”. (and like I said, since it changed only recently, i don’t know what happened. Here are picture of what I got, if someone know the solution I would be grateful if you could share the solution. Thank you for your help.

    Looks like you’re on an older version of After Effects. It uses a very outdated MP4 encoder, and it’s imposing some format constraints on your output — including a maximum horizontal resolution of 320 pixels!

    I’d suggest rendering to an intermediate codec (such as with the Lossless output module), and then uses Media Encoder to create your MP4 from there.
