Illustrator export to PNG adds extra pixels
I have designed a graphic to be used in a Blu-ray Audio disc which lists tracks and will be converted to a “movie” which will play and change highlights as the soundtrack progresses. I created this at 1920 X 1080 pixels. When I export to PNG using the export command in Illustrator, I seem to be adding pixels to the right and at the bottom of the image. I’m sure there is a setting I have neglected to set, but don’t know which one.
I will be importing the still images (one for each track) into Avid Media Composer and then creating a movie which will be saved as YUV 4:2:2 1920 X 1080. Any thoughts as to how I can keep my image size exactly the size of the artboard when exporting to PNG?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I believe I may have figured it out. By making the color “transparent” in the export dialogue, I seemed to have eliminated the extra pixels. Don’t really know enough about the program to know why it would extend beyond the artboard with the color set to white or black, but at least I have it working now.

I seem to be experiencing the same issue, but my settings were already adjusted for transparent.
Does anyone else happen to have any ideas on this topic, please?

I found the solution!When exporting the png, make sure to have “Use Artboards” selected. Voilà…problem solved!

Are you eporting via the export artboards option?
I came across an issue like this a bit ago too, was exporting my artboards and for some reason it added an extra line of pixels to some of them (so something 1920 x 1080 was 1921 x 1081). Turns out it was the artboards position within the workspace. Go to the artboard tool and look at the x & y position at the top– it should be a solid number with no decimals. If it has a decimal, get rid of it. When I exported next time after doing this, the issue was solved. Hope this helps.
