I am glad I stumbled on this thread since I'd been wanting to make an animated video overlay. Despite all my efforts, I couldn't get the black background to key out. I created the animations in Kdenlive, exported them to MOV with Alpha. But that's not *quite* the right codec, so I managed to find the HAP codecs and got them installed into Adobe Media Encoder, then re-rendered. They're displayed flawlessly in VDJ with all anti-aliasing and all transparencies.
Unfortunately at 740x480 and at 43 seconds, they're 440MB files, but I can deal with that.

If you could post a short clip exported as MOV with alpha we can have a look to see if it's possible to support that too.
The only reference I found about this so far is if the video would be encoded in ProRes format though, which is probably going to be pretty large as well.

I'll experiment further when I teach myself a little more Adobe After Effects instead of Kdenlive to see if the native MOV HAP exports are smaller than what Adobe Media Encoder produced (thought I don't know why they would).
At any rate, I'm debuting my first animated video overlay at my gig tonight and I haven't been this geeked out in a long time.

Adion, here's a little sample I whipped up with MOV transparency from After Effects. This is Quicktime Prores 4444.

VP9 video also supports an alpha channel and is an open standard, but there aren't many good encoders for it with alpha yet.
