  I suppose that the best way would be to use the alpha-channeled png files
created by POV-Ray directly, if that's possible in the video compositing
software (ie. if it can read them automatically).

  I haven't heard of any video format which supported alpha channel.
I wonder if some type of raw AVI could support them; never heard of one,
though.
