Why not make the stuff that needs to be transparant bright green so the other person can chroma key it?

The thing is, any sort of lossy compression cannot support transparency. This is why JPEG isn't useful for glass textures.

You can't really make a video transparent, not like a PNG photo with a transparent layer.  If you put a transparent layer in a video, the transparent part will be black unless there is something else behind it.

 

Think of video as something that exists in "space", and in space we know that empty parts are black.

 

As for 10 seconds being over 3GB... what bit rate and codec are you using?  Are you exporting as RAW or Lossless?

lossless

lossless

 

No wonder your file size is large.  Unless you're planning to use the file as a "master" for other edits or productions, don't render out lossless.

Becareful with using green/blue screen chroma keying.  There are times when you shouldn't use them.  For example, if you are shooting a video and you want to superimpose some flame or explosion effects it is better to key in the effects using an alpha channel.
