Thanks, this workaround posted by kelly_hanson at forums.adobe.com is the best way around this I guess 🙂

It’s not ideal, but we’ve been using the process below to make it work. It adds a couple extra steps, but as of now, it’s the fastest way we’ve found to get around the issue.

In After Effects:
Render any comps smaller than 32×32 as an MOV. .mov files will render in sizes smaller than 32×32 without adding the black bars at the top & bottom

Drag the rendered .mov files into Photoshop. Set yourself up an action to export the files back out of Photoshop as an uncompressed avi. Give it a function key (F3 or something for a tiny bit of added speed – especially if you are doing a LOT of files like we do) and it’ll export the file, with the original file name but in .avi format.

Again, it’s not ideal – but that’s how we’ve been getting around it.

Hope it helps!

Its for a pixel display on a building, same building as in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8sqI2HIIkI

The output has to be AVI and 5×28 pixels.
