When you work with designers or outside post facilities you frequently see the Quicktime Animation codec, especially when you receive elements with an alpha channel.

\n“Animation” is really quite an outdated codec.\u00a0Premiere is not alone, Resolve 12\u00a0doesn’t support it either.<\/a>

\n2.\u00a0Cineform >\u00a0Mac & PC<\/span><\/a>
\n3. Matte & Fill> Mac & PC<\/p>\n

Producers & Designers:
\n<\/strong>To convert legacy Animation codec you can still import in AE 2015 and then export as Matte & Fill or Cineform<\/a>.
\nYou have to change all your future production specs to reflect this change.
\nSend outside designers and post facilities a note and a link to the Adobe Cineform format specs.
