I've got a couple of suggestions for ya... Instead of letting director handle the scaling, rotating, etc. of the imported images, you could use imaging lingo to do it. I'm not sure if imaging lingo gives you access to the alpha channel, but it would make sense that it would.
Another alternative is to use the imported images as texture maps and do your rotating, scaling, etc. in 3d. With the new anti-alias option in 3d, this should give the result you want. You did mention that the images would be running on top of a video feed, so 3d may not work for you, although you could try importing the video feed as individual frames and use an animating backdrop for the video. This would require a fair bit of horse-power, but it's possible that it could work.
