After a good amount of "figuring out" I have finally put it together. I rendered the images without the composting last evening 'oops!'. It was a bit of a struggle trying to get all 324 frames to process through the compositor and 'resave'. Alas, I have done it, and I uploaded the New Image sequence to the video editor and have made my final submission for this course. This is the most complex scene I have yet to render with 3.2m faces in this scene.
YT really blows out the quality of the clip but, here it is.
