Effect on image c4d

Hello,

I created a book in c4d. Without using after effects i want to put some effects on the images. Such as a brush effect, smoke reveal etc. Is that possible without exporting the project to Ae?

I thignk i have to use the Alpha channel to animate the image but i cant figure out how..

I do have a movie (.mov) from smoke reveal (form example)....i have to do something with the Alpha i geuss

Hope i can get a tip over here…
