H264 render PAL land CS4 error
Hi chaps, just upgraded to CS4 and am working on a project for display at an exhibition on a widescreen monitor, figured I’d work in 1024×576 square and render out same size and use H264 if I choose it in “Format Options” it says choose H264 from output module but then it won’t render I get “After Effects: AEGP Plugin Media IO Plugin: There is a mismatch between Output Module settings and Transcode Setting. Please verify your settings and try again. Invalid framesize/framrate for this Level. Please lower the Frame Dimensions, Frame Rate or increase the Profile and Level and try again. Medial02 error: 0xc00b0002 Frame dimensions out of bounds.” what’s that all about please ? …. I’m sure this worked OK in AE7. Regards Roger

Thanks Chris , I did find that post (maybe I should have mentioned that) but it didn’t help in as much … I’ve dug a little deeper and found when I hit ‘Format H264’ in Output module and look at the format options there’s a comment box; “Set frame size to 720 x 480 pixels in the Stretch options in Output Module before encoding” … and if I enter these settings the render works but I don’t want 720 x 480 I want my widescreen pal square pixel size ! Thanks for taking the time Roger

In media encoder, use 4:3 aspect ratio and in output module, stretch to format square pixel stretch instead.

Forgive my stupidity Chris but I really don’t understand, I’ll obviously have to go back to school for this … I don’t want to waste any more of your time but if this image explains my dilemma a little, there are 3 different sizes in these dialogue boxes ! https://www.rogerburton.co.uk/stills/render.jpg Best Roger

rendering at: is your composition size.
stretch to: is a bicubic resizing algorithmI don’t know what your final destination is dvd, etc. but final renders always look best if they don’t get resized, that goes for original media too.
If you really want to stay in a pixel size of your choosing, select custom and uncheck
lock aspect ratio to 175:96 (1.82) in output module
that’s a force setting. -
You’re very patient Chris, my project is 1024×576 sq px and I want to render out a movie compressed with H264, I’ll supply this movie to the client who will play it from a computer onto a widescreen plasma monitor (I hope I’m doing this in the correct way I originally rendered it uncompressed but their PC choked on the file size).
So I’ve deleted the text in the ‘comment’ box (whatever that is) and unticked the aspect ratio and the render still generates the original mismatch message.
Good of you Roger

sorry bout that, I’m a little tired. Since you are using strange sizes, there is no preset for you. You will have to use CS4’s custom Adobe Media Encoder.
Select Edit > Export Settings.
The Export Settings dialog box appears. This dialog box lets you perform the following actions:
Specify alternate encoding settings to deliver video for different bandwidths and applications.
Crop and resize the video clip to alter its dimensions.

Thank you so much Chris, you’ve been so helpful, have a good weekend. Roger
