psd file is not importing to the right size in after effects

I am trying to import a psd file into after effects and it is not coming at the right size. The psd file is exported from illustrator then imported into ae. In illustrator, the image is 1366 x 768, which I've saved as an ai file and exported as a psd file. When I import the ai file it comes in at the expected 1366 x 768 but when I import the psd file, it comes in at 2849 x 1065. Does anyone know why this is and what I need to do to make sure it comes in at the artboard size?

Import and export

Correct answer thepixelsmith

When you export the AI to Photoshop PSD it has to rasterize it. The default ppi for psd files is 150.

That is proably what is causing the change.

When you export change the Resolution (it's on the second maneu, Photoshop Export Options) to Screen (72 ppi) and it will give you a 1:1 size conversion with the AI.
