You realize that was only regarding Media Encoder, not Premiere itself, right? Also, this was put out shortly after. http://noamkroll.com/adobe-premiere-pro-vs-final-cut-pro-x-round-2-h264-compression-update/

I don't have a GH4, but judging by my experience with the GH3 and a few shoots with a rented GH4, your best options are Standard, Scenery, or Natural at 5NR, -5SH, -2CON. Set Saturation to taste. You might bump Contrast to -3 for high contrast lighting and -1/0 for low contrast lighting, but I wouldn't put it below -3. Don't mess with the Shadow/Highlight curves or Master Pedestal. If you're not planning to do much grading after the fact, make sure you're nailing your exposure and your white balance in camera.

You could try the Cine profiles, but be prepared to deal with waxy skin tones and odd color shifts in the grade. I'm not really sure why people use them--just because they have "Cine" in their names doesn't make them more useful than any other profile.

​What about the F35? Only $5000!

If your stills with Micro Four Thirds cameras are crap, it says a lot more about your photographic abilities than the gear's.
