h.264 render error (5027:12) (CS4)

[shazica]

Hi! I'm using an old version of After Effects, CS4, and I have this project file of a 6min video. It contains of a picture with the size of about 3000x2000, a track and some soundwaves etc.

However, I'm pretty new to this and when I try to render it in H.264, I get an error that says:

After Effects: AEGP Plugin Media IO Plugin:

There is a mismatch between Output Module settings and TRanscode Settings. Please verify your settings and try again.

Invalid framesize/framerate for this Level. please lower the Frame Dimensions, Frame Rate or increase the Profile and Level and try again.

MediaIO2 error: 0xc00b0002

Frame dimensions out of bounds

( 5027 :: 12)

I need to fix it till tomorrow, but I'm really stuck on this. Everything is ready for rendering, but I can't come any further than this by myself. So I'm asking you for help.

The funny thing is, when I click on "Make Movie" under Composition instead of "Add to Render Queue", and then press render without changing any settings, it works perfect, but 6 seconds takes up about 3,1 GB of memory.

Please help me!!!

Well it tells you exactly what you need to do. You need to adjust your output module output settings. Open up the output module settings and hit the options button, then dial in suitable options in the H.264 exporter. Arbitrary resolutions such as yours require Level 5 or 5.1.

It worked! Thanks you very much!!!

Curious as I am, what does the levels option means? And since both 5 and 5.1 worked, which is the best to use (for YouTube, example)?
