I found it a lot easier just to work on the transparency in photoshop. Select the area you want to be transparent and delete it. if can u see the grey checker patterns from photoshop, that's gonna be the transparent area in Premiere. Save the file in PSD and import to Premiere. No need to add any alpha channel filter.

This involves selecting the area that you want transparent, inverting the selection and saving the selection to create the alpha channel. By doing this you will create an additional 8 bits of information in the image file that defines the transparency. If you look at the channels you will see the alpha channel represented as a black and white image with the black being the transparent area and the white being the opaque area. If you select save and pick tga as the file format you will be given an option to check to save alpha then a dialog box that lets you choose 32 bit. The resulting image will key over your video automatically when brought to the timeline. If you do a google search for "create an alpha channel in Photoshop" you will find quite a few tutorials online that will take you through this process step by step.
