If I do that, AE reports it as one pixel wide in the project window but if I go to comp settings it is actually 4px wide.

What happens if you create a 1 pixel wide PSD and import it as a comp?

I have been using AE for some fun creative tech projects recently and hit upon a limit that is somewhat the opposite of the usual issues.

It seems like the minimum comp width is 4 pixels and I would like to create some comps that are 1 pixel wide.

I am using AE to generate images which will drive thousands of LEDs for an installation. I wrote some software in Processing that loads my AE renders and reads the pixel value then pushes that out to the LEDs.

I have found a workaround but thought I would share the issue. I have submitted a feature request to remove the limit.
