AME is suddenly no longer respecting work area

22.1.1 Build 8

I wondered why I all of a sudden got huge exports when I was just exporting a small section through AME.

AME is no longer respecting the work area bar selection in Premier.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Make sure Work Area bar is engaged

2. Move Work Area pointers to select a section of a timeline

3. Export. Confirm that "Work Area" is sthe selection

4. Send to Media Encoder.

Result:

In Media Encoder, click the preset to observe parameters.

Note that the entire timeline has been queued, not the selection made with work area bar.

Also note that Source Range no longer has "Work Area" as an option.

Workaround:

Use in/out, but if an editor is used to the work area bar, this is a problem.

FIX: 

Either include Work Area as before, or retire the work area bar in Premier. "It's not a bug, it's a feature."
