Adobe did a great disservice to its pro event user base when it dropped AfterFX HAP support.”
I always feel sorry for the Adobe staff when I see comments like this. Adobe did not drop Hap support. Apple deprecated quicktime, and hap is a quicktime codec. So when Apple stopped quicktime codecs from working, all 3rd party quicktime codecs - including Hap and dxf - became unavailable. In actual fact, Adobe introduced native Hap support so you can still render Haps. The problems here are solely to do with Apple and not Adobe.
However, like you, I just looked and I can’t see Hap either. I’m using 16.1.2 on Windows, and I can see the Apple ProRes options but not Hap. It’s not showing up on my Mac in CC 2019 either, or CC 2018.
I know that native Hap support was there at some point because I was one of the squeaky wheels crying out for it, as I used to do a lot of events work that needed Hap. I was very happy when it was introduced and I used it a lot.
But it does look like it’s disappeared…?
