Oh sorry, I initially thought you needed to know how to make presets. Unfortunately, I do not think Adobe fixed this issue yet. The best success is when dragging files directly into AME, as it remembers the last settings used. So, it should automatically select the Quicktime format and Apple ProRes 422 HQ preset if that is what you used previously. It will do so until changed again. In addition, you can select multiple files and just change the settings for one and the rest will update, which is useful if you’re doing a large batch.
I know that also isn’t what you are looking for, as you want a way to always have it be default even if it’s not the last used… or when exporting directly from another Adobe software.
