TVAI does not respect input alpha in ProRes 4444XQ output

ProRes 4444 output from TVAI does NOT respect the ALPHA from the input! Why?
Alpha goes in, and comes out black instead of transparent…this is easily reproduce-able.
This should absolutely never happen.
Is someone here new to video, or…?

Alpha channels can not be retained except when using the following options.

Quicktime Animation codec for video exports or Image sequences - PNG, TIFF

Also can not apply frame interpolation, motion deblur or stabilization as that will remove the alpha channel from the export.
