This author seems to think that Premiere is only capable of working with /
exporting through AME which is obviously not the case. If you don't like
how AME encodes h264 video, don't use it. There are a wealth of other
options. Just export lossless 10bit from PP and go to AVID DNxHD, x264 or
Prores. Personally I'm fine with the h264 quality from AME for most
projects, as anything I'm encoding to h264 is going to be small file sizes,
client previews or recompressed for web anyway
