Question

Exported Transcodes WRONG Resolution

I just finished my first project shot entirely with ProResLT as the acquisition and editing Codec.  Now it is time to Backup my project and I decided I didn't want to backup 350GBs of data for this complete project.  However I do like to save my unedited project files for future use in other projects.  So I decided to Transcode all of the footage to H.264 at a lower BitRate to still have the footage in a usable format but not take up so much space.  

I brought all of the files into AME and selected the "High Quality 2160 4K" setting. I then customized it by bumping up the VBR rate to 100Mbps Target and 200Mbps max.  Hit go and walked away for a couple of hours.  

Now I just looked at the Finished files and found that they exported at "2720x1530" Resolution.  There isn't even a 2.7K Preset, AND that isn't even really 2.7K, so what the heck happened here?  I just wasted about 2.5 Hours of Transcode time that I have to do all over again, whenever I figure out how to make it actually 4k.

    Hmm, this is odd. I'm trying to reproduce the problem on my end to see what is causing this. Under your Encode Settings Settings, where you have it set to Main profile, what level is it set at? Some levels constrain encoding parameters such as frame sizes. Is the level set to 5.1 or higher?
