It isn’t THAT awful. JMHO.

Try selecting 32 bit and see if your alpha options are available.

A couple of things for your consideration:
Two of the most misunderstood settings in the PPro render dialog are “Max Render Quality” and “Use Rendered Files”.
The first (Max Render Quality) exists primarily for timelines with up-scaled or down-scaled video. For example, do you have a 720P timeline with 1080 and/or SD 480 footage? Then checking this setting will help the finished product. Otherwise, it has little benefit.
The second (Use Rendered Files) will speed your finish render time up IF you rendered a lot of your timeline. But – these renders are not very high quality (unless you changed the settings for your particular project, and it also isn’t usually recommended, except for perhaps a pre-final approval copy or something of that ilk.
One last thing – what are your export settings, particularly your bandwidth settings (minimum/maximum)? If set too low, you are choking an already heavily compressed codec. I would suspect this as the actual root reason you see a perceived difference with the “Max Render Quality” setting on or off.

Without knowing a LOT more about your system and storage we can only make random guesses.

Tell us more about your system and what version of the Adobe suite you have.

March 14, 2018 at 3:45 pm in reply to: DNxHD 36 1080p vs Cineform YUV 10-bit 720p as proxy to H264 UHD on a PC, any difference?If you are using proxies to edit, the DNxHD will probably give you better timeline performance. But depending on what your deliverables are, neither may ne suitable for final file. We would need more information to guess on that.

What software are you using to export? I ask because I have found Premiere Pro doesn’t always love MP3 files.
Most of time it isn’t an issue – until it is.
I routinely run MP3’s through Audition and convert them to WAV files to work in Premiere Pro. No quality loss, and Premiere Pro is happy.
But it could be something else. Are you using a newer version of Adobe software? An older version? Without more information, it’s a lot of guesswork.
If you send the render over to Media Encoder, it has YouTube presets.

I tend to modify my source tracks prior to bringing them onto the timeline. That way I can have what I want when I get there. I’ll tweak settings for both the media and the project.
