I'm using AE 24.6.2, Media Encoder 24.6.1 and Premiere 24.6.1.

When I export, the output file always uses "Format profile: Base Media / Version 2" (according to MediaInfo). I think it matches one of the default Adobe presets - "H264 Match Render Settings 15Mbps".

It doesn't matter if I add the project to the "built in" render queue OR send it to Media Encoder. It also doesn't matter that my settings have been saved manually as templates/presets and selected before exporting. The only details that persist are the sequence settings (framerate etc.).

What's could be the cause of this?
