Try using premultiply alpha in the layer's image tab settings.

The video needs to be saved in a format and with a codec which includes the alpha channel:
on Mac:
Mov with PNG codec Millions+ colours
Apple ProRes 4444
AS 9.5 MacPro Quadcore 3GHz 16GB OS 10.6.8 Quicktime 7.6.6
AS 11 MacPro 12core 3GHz 32GB OS 10.11 Quicktime 10.7.3
Moho 13.5 iMac Quadcore 2,9GHz 16GB OS 10.15

Moho 14.1 Mac Mini Plus OS 13.5
