1) Some of my scenes only have subtle animated effects. If I want to render the static parts (Daz's giant forest scene) as a background plate, how do I tell it to render out the masks so I can composite it back in after effects?
*Additional side note to Richard Hazeltines advice:
You may also need to use Matte->Simple Choker (Effects Menu in AE) on the forest foliage to clean it up a bit in your final composite (cleans up the white outline or halo around the tree tops). I had to do this myself several times with this particular model.
I always use Sequenced TIFF format whether I need an alpha channel or not. PNG works just as well though.
