Hello, so i've been using After Effects for quite awhile, never have had any problems until now. Recently i've been creating videos again, rendering all of them the same exact way having no problems. Until the other day where i went to render one at H.264 and i got "Warning: Output file will be resized from 1920x1080 (1:00 PAR) to 320x1080 (6:00 PAR) to meet format constraints." now i have NO clue what this means or why it happened or how to fix it, non of my settings on AF were changed at all, it just did this out of no where.

can anyone help me out and guide me how to fix this issue?

thank you in advance

    I was facing an almost similar issue.
    After rendering sound was not in proper sync. & I have made FPS of composition and GOT SUCCESS !!

    1.  Just note "25 to 23.976 fps"

    2.  Go to Composition menu > Composition Settings > Change 25 to 23.976 > Click OK

    3.  Again Rander the Composition with same settings with QuickTime.

    4. Success

    This solution works for me. It might possible that you might need some other fix.
    If it works for you as well then Give me CHEERS !!

    Thanks.

      If you are not an expert in video formats, standards and compression you should not be customizing output module or Adobe Media Encoder settings. 99% of the time you'll just foul things up. Your comp settings should not say "Custom" either unless you really know what you are doing.

      Yeah...
      Thank you, Rick Gerard,Rick Gerard

      My answer is not recommended for larger compositions. but still, I think it might help to people who create a small comp. sometimes like me.

      Thanks !!

      It means what it says - you have to did into the MPEG-4/ H.264 encoder settings ont the Output Module's "Option" panel. Presumably you are simply using a wrong default preset or an odd comp size and the encoder can't make up its mind.

      Hello, thanks for the help. Ive tried fixing it to the point where in able to render at the correct resolution again. But for some reason the video quality is horrible still. All the settings are set to best, its all at 1920x1080. Like im so lost on how to fix this. If i cant fix this theres really no point in trying to make videos any longer if its going to be in terrible quality.

      Well, something must be screwed up somewhere in your settings, but until we can see what your settings are, it'd just be guessing.

      I do know that rendering H.264 out of After Effects is not the best thing to do. You should render an intermediate (lossless) file out of AE and use the Adobe Media Encoder to make your H.264. That way you can use multi-pass encoding to get better-quality video.
