Convert mov with Alpha to VP9 Webm with Alpha Using ffmpeg

I am trying to convert a mov with alpha transparency to webm with alpha transparency, as seen here. I followed the steps explained here to no avail.

From this answer I was able to remove all the black in the video, thus making it transparent but this is not what I need as I already have a transparent mov and would like to convert that to transparent webm format.

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libvpx -vf "colorkey=0x000000:0.1:0.1,format=yuva420p" out.webm

This is the ffprobe output of the video I would like to convert to webm with transparency.

I've also tried the following command which didn't work for me either.

ffmpeg -y -i input.mov -c:v libvpx-vp9 -b:v 2000k -pass 1 -an -f webm output.webm

I'm using version 2.8.4 of ffmpeg on a Mac, installed with brew. 2.8.5 is the latest version.

Try

ffmpeg -i input.mov -c:v libvpx -pix_fmt yuva420p out.webm

Since 2016-07-13, it's possible to encode VP9/webm videos with alpha channel (VP9a). However, the command you use here will create a VP8a video. Assuming you got a copy of ffmpeg compiled after that date, all you need is change the libvpx to libvpx-vp9. You don't need the yuva420p conversion either (is selected by default).

WebM-alpha is only defined for VP8. It doesn't work at all for VP9 right now.
