Weird thing to discover for a job

  1. Only two video codecs support alpha blending: uncompressed AVI, and Quicktime .mov, the latter of which is technically considered a dead format and has been since 2016. (The former will produce files in the hundreds of gigabytes)

  2. When you install Quicktime, you have the option to install Quicktime itself, the Quicktime movie player, and/or the Quicktime plugin for browsers and such. You would think just installing Quicktime itself would give you the Quicktime codec, since that's the core of the whole format, but no: you have to install the Quicktime player to get the codec.

Hm.

Not sure if this is helpful or annoying, but: QuickTime isn't a codec. It's a container format supporting several codecs. Technically Mp4 uses the QuickTime container format but tagging it .mov implies support for the legacy QuickTime codecs which mp4 definitely does not support.

I wonder exactly which format is the one you're using here.
