Unable to export MP4 at 1125 x 2000 pixels

I think I've discovered a bug in the programme as neither myself or any of my team members are able to Output an MP4 at 1125 x 2000 pixels. Whenever we try the sizes reduces to 1124 x 2000 pixels. We can output at 1126 pixels with no issue but despite trying several work arounds we simply cannot achieve 1125 x 2000.

The problem is we have a VERY particular client who is adamant they require the exact dimensions requested.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received!

It is not Photoshop, it is the way H264 compression works. You cannot render to an odd pixel count in either direction. It requires an even number of pixels (and preferably divisible by 4)

There was some discussion on this in the After Effects forum some time ago.
