I have everything set up in my render settings to be 1920x1080, but when I save a .png from the live viewer and take it into AfterEffects its resolution is 1920 x 1119. The pixel aspect is the same (1.0).

Can someone tell me how to make these match this? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I'm in C4d. I've told Octane to use the render settings but the rendered files keep coming out slightly larger.

I've have Iray and it works fine. And I've tested the others. This is the only plug I have that's doing this.

You talk about Live Viewer and this is general support forum. So i'm asking to know what are you talking about please! Some plugin or standalone? C4D is only plugin has a window which is named as Live Viewer as i know.

I own the Octane C4d plugin and the standalone Octane, and a network render license.

Even if I send the the C4D scene to the standalone as a .orbx scene, it keeps rendering out at 1920 x1119 instead of 1920 x1080. It also renders at that size inside the LIve viewer inside of C4D (if I save as a .png.)

It's not a show stopper, but I'd like to understand why it's doing this.

It will not take render resolution from render settings if you talk about orbx export. You need to use LOCKRES button and start a render before export. Same for LV rendering.

That's it. That's what I was missing.

Thank you, aoktar.
