Media Encoder won't export HEVC less than 64px wide

I am trying to export a small portion of an AE composition as a thin video with a dimention of 60x2160 px. Using the crop panel in the export settings it's easy enough to set the dimensions and do the same to the video settings. However, the exported video file has a size of 64x2160px. If I go back into ME and double-check the export settings before starting the queue, the right side under the Video section now shows the video dimentions as 64x2160. The video exports at the correct dimensions using other formats like H.264 or Quicktime, but the dimensions won't stay where I've set them using HEVC. I can't seem to find any sort of minimum size limitations for HEVC, so I'm wondering if this is a bug.

Thanks for your screen recording.

I was not able to repro with a ProRes file transcode in Adobe Media Encoder (Beta) 24.5.0.43 on macOS 14.5 (MacBook Pro 16", 2021, M1 Max) by following strictly your steps from the screen recording.

I did the same thing with a very simple UHD After Effects comp I created in After Effects (Beta) 24.2.0.71. I followed your steps, and I was able to export with a width of 60 without a problem.

I just asked the Formats Team. Minimum size is 16x16px. I just tried to export a video with a width of 60px. And it worked for me. Can you provide a screen recording showing your whole workflow? I seem to be missing something here.
