I have done a few projects using After Effects and Storyline. Here is one example

You can overlay text, buttons, markers, videos, quiz questions, pictures, objects, etc on top of the After Effects video and use simple triggers, variables or JavaScript to start/stop or interact with the video.

Storyline does not support alpha channels so you can't overlay a video with a transparent background onto elements in Storyline.
