for what its worth my post was not based on personal experience of mine

AME will load the last preset used when adding new output items, or when switching formats will load the preset for that format which most closely matches the source footage. It's very possible Evan is putting himself in a situation where AME automatically loads an

They may wish to tweak the bitrate if they want to save space or increase quality (our bitrate choices are slightly conservative; Apple did not provide bitrate guidance). Also a reminder that there are additional presets for iPad and other tablets available for download from Adobe.com."
