I'm Brazilian, and I don't understand English, but I hope to help.
I had the same problem this week, it was very difficult to find a software that could format the video keeping the alpha. What worked for me was to upload the video in Blender, because it was able to read the file, then I rendered it again in .png and so I was able to import it into Premiere.

I am seeing the same on many varieties of *.mov files. Has anyone got a solution?

.mov is only an extension, not necessarily a reference to the codec that was used to build the file. It usually is the result of Apple's QuickTime, but it can be anything. Someone may even have renamed a file from .mts to .mov.

 

My suggestion: go back to the source and try to find out how this file was created. Where did it come from? A camera? A screen recorder? Also, try to use MediaInfo to find out more details.

 

PremierePro is one of the most advanced NLEs that will accept a plethora of file formats, but not everything...

 

Hope this helps.

Hi Pavol G,

Do you have the latest version of Premiere Pro installed? I think this format should be supported, as it is a JPEG 2000 variant. More info.

Thanks,
Kevin

Pavol,

Hello there. 🙂

 

Do you have any previous versions of Premiere Pro currently installed? Have you tried any of those? Which OS are you working with?

 

Cheers,

Kevin

Usually Handbrake comes to the rescue for transcoding exotic file formats. Please give that a try: https://handbrake.fr/

Don't think Handbrake will preserve the transparancy.
