AE insists on rendering at half size?

Question

Hi Everybody!

I'm trying to render out a frame of my comp as a .png and for some reason, AE insists on rendering it out at half size. The comp is 500x500, but in the render queue settings it says it's going to render out at 250x250. If I force the size to 500x500 then my output is super pixelated, meaning it took that 250x250 and scaled it back up to 500x500. The source images in the comp are 467x467 (before I applied masks to them). Scale is set to 100% on both images.

For the life of me, I can't understand why AE is scaling the whole comp down in the render queue. I feel like it must be something simple I'm missing, but maybe my brain's not firing on all cylinders today?

Can anyone help?

Nothing wrong. Your comp resolution is set to Half and by default AE will use whatever the comp setting is as an auto setting for the render output when "Current Settings" is used. Easily overriden in the render settings or "fixed" by making sure to actually work at full res. I would suggest you brush up on your basics by reading the help on render settings.
