[John Holland] "However, when rendering at basically any H.264 format, AME seems to now read the preview quality I had AE set at and render it to those specifications"
this is a bug in the current 2017 version. stay tuned this should be fixed very soon.
in the mean time these are your options:
1. before you send your comp to AME, change the resolution pop up to FULL
2. use the much better feature "Queue in AME" option that was introduced in the last version and is right there in the render queue.
here's a comparison between the "ADD to AME Queue / drag and drop" and "Queue in AME" to see why this should be your new best friend - watch from 02:54
