EXR importing at wrong resolution

Hello all - I'm exporting a multi-layered EXR from Cinema 4D at 3840x2160. I'm new to EXR workflow. All of my testing was done at 1080 and I haven't had any issues. In my final render, when importing into After Effects, it imports as 1920x1080. I've double checked render settings and opened a frame in photoshop and confirmed it is 3840x2160.

Why is After Effects scaling this down and how to get to import at full size?

Thanks!

when you import seq from folder, aftereffects look at the very first image for size, framerate, etc. make sure there is no image in that folder other than 3840x2160.

Thanks for reaching out, Blake. Is it happening only when you import the sequence? What happens if you import a single EXR?

Thanks,

Thanks Nishu, I got it sorted. I had a smaller res file mixed in the rest in the folder. It didn't happen when importing a single EXR, but it was because I didn't grab the file that was wrong.

Thank you, Takashi - this was the issue. I missed an earlier file in the folder that was at a lower resolution. Once it was removed, everything worked how I expected!

Edited to add: Just tried exporting EXR but instead of multi-layered, all AOVs exported direct out as their own EXR file. Everything imports at the full resolution. I'd hate to have to re-render if I can't get the multi-layered file to import correctly.
