Yes, we have to use a video file format as well as CODEC that supports an alpha channel.

 

No, we do not need to have QuickTime installed to render an Apple ProRes 4444 QuickTime movie file if we're using a version of Adobe Media Encoder that's from 2013 or newer.

MP4 doesn't support transparency.

You don't need QT installed.

 

Have a look here:

Thankyou, that helped but my object turned blue in the video file after rendering.

Went with AVI instead, and that worked perfectly, even tho a larger size.
