You need to use a format that supports the alpha channel. The easiest and safest way to do that, I assume younger gonna composite your animation later, is to render to a sequence of frames, using PNG or Tiff, and then import the sequence in your NLE After Effects. AE recognizes image sequences as clips so the process is, no pun intended, completely transparent.
You could render to QT with a codec that supports alpha but you would complicate matters. Image sequences are your friends.

I’m not an expert on C4D, I work with Blender, but there should not be a problem. At the worst you should convert the text to a mesh, UV map it and then the texture will flow correctly. Technically there is no limitation. How it’s done in C4D? Other people will surely chime in.
