Question

No PNG option for encoding Quicktimes in AME 2020

hi there, 

 

I know this might have been hashed out a year or two ago, so forgive if this is an old question.

 

I'm trying to batch convert some old motion graphics elements into a usable format as After Effects doesn't like their original codec any more (we don't support MooV or something)

 

In AME I select quicktime as the container but the only available options are Prores and MXF and I just want a QT PNG w/Alpha (RGBA). 

Why isn't this working? Can I get PNG back? Should I use a different container format?
In the end I just made PRORES 4444 XQ files, which is dumb as they're now bloated larger than the originals, but they're working and I can build this spot, but taking advice for upgrading my workflow here.

I couldn't see an option to edit my original post, but I forgot to describe my setup.
