offline quicktime codec with alpha channel
hello all.
having just updated to osx 10.10 (yosemite) and missed out 10.9 all together i’ve only now realised that quicktime files using the animation codex does not preview in the finder.
so… what’s the best codec (that apple likes) to use for offline graphics that need an alpha channel?
thanks in advance

With “that Apple likes” being the driving factor, ProRes 4444.

You could render RGB (fill) and alpha (matte) to separate movie files with whatever codec you like.
