After Effects how-to copy
Short version
Import your footage, then import the two ClipperSmith files. Put the main animation above your footage. Put the alpha channel directly above the main animation. On the main animation layer, set Track Matte to Alpha Matte. Now the black background is removed and your city animation is ready to use.
What the alpha file does
The alpha channel file is a matching black-and-white video that tells After Effects which parts of the main animation should stay visible. One file contains the visible animation. The other file provides the transparency information needed to composite it cleanly over footage.
