I'm trying to put a png sequence with an embeded alpha over a still image with burned in timecode. The following has been had from everything I see on the web (with the exception of using -shortest that never worked). This renders, but the alpha channel renders in a strange banded sort of way. A smooth gradation comes out like lots of transparent stripes that move around. I'm starting to suspect this isn't the way the current ffmpeg would do it. Can anyone point me in the right direction for the proper syntax?

ffmpeg -loop 1 -r 29.97 -i background.jpg -r 29.97 -i foregroundsequence%05d.png -filter_complex "overlay, drawtext=fontfile=ARIAL.ttf: timecode='00\:00\:00\:00': r=29.97: x=(w-tw)/2: y=h-(1*1h): fontsize=32: fontcolor=white: box=1: boxcolor=0x00000099" -r 29.97 -t %dur% -vcodec prores -profile:v 2 -y output.mov

I had to use -t instead of -shortest to get this to not encode indefinitely, contrary to examples floating on the web.

Thanks!
