Alexander,
Articulate Presenter: Post production, one can switch out the background with a flash video to achieve the same effect you mention. You can also utilize and FLV with an alpha channel as an overlay in Presenter.
Articulate Quizmaker: Quizmaker is a little more powerful in that you can achieve a layered effect similar to that which you are referencing in Keynote by adding shapes, Alpha PNGs, etc. right over the video and then having the quiz questions come in after the video ends.
A couple of years ago, I had played around with the idea of alpha flvs. Here's a sample...it will take a while to load as I unfortunately paid little attention to optimizing the file sizes! You may want to run it twice (Oh what I've learned in the past 2 years!). The first 3 slides demonstrate flvs with alpha channels inserted into Presenter as a flash movie. The fourth slide is done by switching out the video background post render.
