Answers.Text: Hmm, that's an old version of AME. Why not just manually match the source pixel dimensions? You can then save that as a preset if you need to.

Answers.Text: Yes, it’s a question about CS6 (see title of the question ). I have several computers recent and old, and I’d rather not have to input pixel size manually if I can avoid it. It says on Adobe Help for this version that it can be done... so it should be doable...

  In **Adobe Media encoder CC**, the Settings in the drop-down menu have a *Match Source* option that will preserve the pixel size of the file.

  If you're just looking for the h.264 match source settings preset, you'll find it in the **Preset Browser** under **System Presets > Broadcast > H.264**
  
  [![preset browser](https://i.sstatic.net/1gfEX.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/1gfEX.png)
  
  If you have another preset that you want to use, or if you're wanting to customise one, then if you look at the presets in the queue item you'll see that you can click on the name of the preset to edit the settings—note the blue line when you hover.

  Once you do that the familiar export settings window will appear, with the great big **Match Source** button.
