AE CC Error 86::1 MooV unsupported

Hello all,

I am trying to update projects from AE 2017 that contain .mov files with alpha channels that were created with a now-unsupported MooV codec. I can no longer load or update the compositions in AE CC 2019 version 16.1.2 (or even in AE 2018 version 15) containing these files because I get the attached error messages:

How do I resolve this? I am willing to download AE C 2017, but Creative Cloud only lets me manage back to the 2018 version. I also tried to open the .mov file in Quicktime 7, but I am unable to save it successfully. Please help, I am on deadline. Thanks in advance.

Which version of macOS are you running?  You may also have to roll back to macOS Sierra 10.12.

Use Apple ProRes 4444 with Alpha.

As you said, Adobe dropped support for Quicktime Legacy codecs in CC2018 and CC2019. What I would try is to use an older version of Adobe Media Encoder to create Apple ProRes 4444 files with alpha to avoid this problem. The only thing you can do is to transcode these old Quicktime files to a newer codec.
