FFMPEG convert from .mov to .webm - "Unable to find suitable output for vp8"

I need a transparent video for unity and the only solution I found is with a .webm.

a couple of moths ago I used this:

ffmpeg -i input.mov -c:v libvpx -minrate 10M -maxrate 10M -b:v 10M -c:a -vcodec vp8 -pix_fmt yuva420p -metadata:s:v:0 alpha_mode="1" output.webm

but now it give me this error:

Unable to find suitable output for vp8

Vp8 invalid argument

I don't know ffmpeg so I can't change the command. Are there errors or I miss some codec?

-c:a -vcodec vp8 The first option (audio codec) is missing its value so ffmpeg is setting -vcodec as the value, which leaves vp8 unpaired and thus treated as an output filename. Since there is no extension in this "filename", ffmpeg can't set an output format.

Remove the entire set: -c:a -vcodec vp8. -c:v libvpx upfront already sets the VP8 encoder.
