Problem Importing .MOV Video into Animate

Hi everyone! I'm having a problem importing .mov video files into Animate. No matter which video I try to import, I keep getting the following error:
"One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them."
The videos were created using transparent .png sequences, and transparency is important—I need to preserve it.

I’ve tried all possible QuickTime encoders (Apple ProRes 4444), but none of the .mov files can be imported into Animate.

I'm using the old Animate version 2.0.3 (Build 25487). Could that be the reason ?

Import and export

Thank you all! Just one more question. Is it possible to make .FLV with On2 VP6 video codec with a more modern tool besides the CS6 package?

have you tried exporting to ame and publishing with that codec?

Participant

In the version of AME that I have (14.0.2), I don't have the option to export to .FLV format with this codec at all.

Animate does not support the import of MOV format. If needed, you can import a PNG sequence。
