.mov files with alpha channels won't import on Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Just FYI, Apple:

This issue with Quicktime not seeing .mov files in Finder (or I should say, not playing them) is a HUGE problem for anyone who edits video.

If you export a file as .mov in After Effects, and have any transparency (RGB+Alpha channels), there is no way to import them into current projects. None.

PLEASE fix this, as I quite enjoy my job, and don't feel like losing it because my client doesn't understand why they can't have lower thirds in their video I'm contracted to do (and subsequently fires me and finds someone on a Windows rig).

Thanks.

I solved this deleting some Quicktime Components from:

library/quicktime

I deleted all DVCPROHD components

IMX Component

Blackmagic Component

I unistalled Perian

Restart

And Boom!

All fixed in Adobe CC.

Quit After Effects and Premiere, then relaunch Premiere first before launching After Effects. It should work. The error has to do with launching After Effects first.
