[Avid-L2] QT Ref wont export Matte Key?

 

I posted about this a while back where I got a sequence that a matte key graphic had been imported at DNxHR Uncompressed, or whatever the actual nomenclature is, and it wouldn't let me export a QTRef.  I re imported the graphic with alpha as DNxHR and then I could export a QT Reference.  Today I'm on a different project where I imported Keyable graphics that were ProRes 4444.  Upon importing I converted them to DNxHR HQX but when I try to do a QT Ref export with the track with the matte key graphic I get the same message.
Here is the message, "Some Long GOP or DNxUncompressed media can not be exported using QuickTime Reference.  You need to export the media as a custom QuickTime Movie."

In this case this was a keyable element I imported myself.  I tried to look at the fill and alpha tracks to see if perhaps the Alpha track was uncompressed but it show DNxHR.  If I make a video mixdown of the graphic area and cut it above the graphics I stll get the error if the track is highlighted/selected during export, my QT export has use selected tracks checked, but if I deselect the track, in this case V7, and select V8 where the mixdown I made is the export works.  I get why that works but why is the matte key element that was imported to DNxHRHQX being seen as long gop or more likely uncompressed.
