Reporting back.  I feel foolish.  My number one piece of advice to people having issues with Ae is to delete the prefs.  Well…  I skipped that step, and it turned out that’s all I needed to do.

I’ve got my alpha and mojo back.

Sorry for the WGC (Wild Goose Chase).

Thanks for the helpful replies.

In recent versions of Mac OS the security is on lock down regarding system folder items (just been through this with fonts)

You can disable it with some sudo terminal prompts (you’ll have to search) but the easiest way I found was to boot from another volume and copy/delete any system files/folders. Yu should be able to install prores components that way

Yes, and CC 2014, and get the same results.

Thanks for the info on Adobe.

From CC2018 and up, any and all QuickTime file format support is at the application level as far as Adobe video and audio applications are concerned.

Have you tried CC2018 to see of you get ProRes4444+ as expected?

I suspect the install of my ProRes codecs that were included back when I first installed FCP7 is borked, and I think reinstalling them is the only way to be sure.  

Alpha is severely messed up or missing on ProRes4444+ renders.

Does anybody know of a way short of buying FCPX for $300 and installing it?  

I’ve tried copying the ProRes components from my clone disk to my boot disk, but High Sierra isn’t allowing that kind of copy-dragging or copy-pasting between folders.

Aren’t some of the Mac codecs included in OSX for use in iMovie, etc?  I tried re-installing High Sierra, and the issue persists.  I also re-installed Ae 2019, and still no go.

TIA, 
Jim C.
