I need to play alpha video. But AVPlayer which is used in iOS to play videos does not support alpha videos.

I found out below link which is a 3rd party option to play alpha video, http://emilytoop.com/2012/05/16/playing-movies-with-an-alpha-channel-on-the-ipad/

I tried to follow the steps given in the link to convert .mov to .mvid but its not working. (Error: command not found) ./qtexportani .mov

There was one more option to perform these steps by following below link,http://www.modejong.com/AVAnimator/software.html

But not able to copy AVAnimatorUtils.tgz to /usr/bin folder as per the steps but mac doesn’t allow to copy files to this folder.

Is there any other free alternative to make this work. Please suggest.
