The VideoLAN Forums

Hi dudes and lot of thanks in advance for your help.

I used to work on AE and Premiere with ProRes 4444 or HAP codecs to render alpha channel videos with MOV container.
I've already rendered a lot of this videos and I never had troubles to play them on VLC.

But rencently I buyed some SSD to build a SSD raid, so I had to reinstall Win10 build 1809.
I'm pretty sure to have not forgot any applications from my previous install because I exported the all apps list with the win powershell option.

Anyway, since, I' can't anymore playing any alpha channel videos on VLC, other than those rendered in the old Quicktime animation codec !

This alpha channel videos was rendered on AE or Premiere with Aftercodecs
All the videos can be read fine on AE & Premiere : no issues, the alpha channel works, all fine.

But I can't read them with VLC !!
But I can play them with MPC-HC !

I tried with old alpha channel video from older projects that I'm totally sure I played with VLC : don't work either !

This is an short example of one alpha channel video :

I'm searching on forums and asking to my friend Google since this morning and this drive me crazy !
Any ideas, please ?

Best
