Why can't I match my video source settings? I filmed in 2.7k 30 fps and this is what I get when I try to match it on Premiere Pro..

My camera is set to H.264, but as you can see the rest of the settings are not right + when I export I noticed a drop in quality, an increase in noise.

Yep, it's a bug but not a major one, I can reproduce it even in CC2015/2018. Another many years PPro bug.

What PPro actually doing here is 'match preview' instead of 'match sequence' . If you change the preview format in sequence settings to Cineform, it'll use actual timeline resolution. But for me it's simpler to just set the export parameters manually

"If you change the preview format in sequence settings to Cineform, it'll use actual timeline resolution."

Is this is it and which one do I pick?

I need everything as simple as possible, I'm totally new to all of this and it's EXTREMELY confusing, I'm trying my darndest to find info and understand but it's proving incredibly difficult to almost impossible finding the answers that I need to my problems..

Yes, but I assume you don't want massive ~6GB/min files? That's what happens if you export in Cineform YUV 10bit. 12bit will take even more space. So the only practical solution for you is to manually select export format, without using 'match sequence settings'. Try these:
Format: H264

Preset: Match source - Adaptive High
(or Adaptive Medium if you want smaller filesize and don't need absolute max quality)

In your case you do not use Match sequence settings (or max render if tou have a dedicated gpu)

Second screenshot is correct, you can up the bitrate quite a bit for image quality.

Might want to try turning off hardware encoding.

I'm sorry I do not understand. I use a Huawei Matebook 13 i5 8gb ram.

How do I do that?

Why's that when I filmed in 1080p 30 fps and did my editing everything is fine, when I click match source settings, ALL the numbers are IDENTICAL. I only get this problem with 2.7k setting, I film with a GoPro Hero 8.
