I made a completely green map for a game, and outputted bitmap sequences
of some demos I recorded, because I just want the models. What I want to
do is key out the green, which I have done in after effects, but I want
a transparent background in the sequence when I render it back out into
a png sequence, so I can use just the model animation as an overlay for
another image, but I don't want to render the image into the sequence,
because I want it to be a variable image within director. Any ideas?

To the best of my knowledge, and despite QT having alpha or transparency
in 
their spec, you cannot actually have transparent, alpha-like behaviour
from 
QT.  You can mask, but not transparency.

Maybe instead of trying to answer your question I should ask you to be
more 
specific:  do you care what kind of video it is, do you mean 1-bit
masking, 
or true 256 level alpha, etc.?
