I have used AE and Houdini together very successfully recently. Just render out Targa sequences from Houdini or convert your .pic files to Targas using mplay (Houdini's image viewer). This way you will retain the alpha channel from your renders. You can then import this sequence into AE and comp it over any footage you like e.g. Quicktime movies, AVI files, other image sequences. You can then render a final Quicktime of your composited footage right out of After Effects, or render an AVI from AE and then create a Quicktime from the AVI using Quicktime Pro and you will get a better result.
As a side note: Make sure you premultiply your image sequences with black (or whatever the background color is in your sequence). AE will ask you this any time you import footage.

The song from the student reel is called “Guilt Becomes Grace”.
