I'm currently trying to export an animation on clip with a transparent background, but it never works. I try different options of movie, but it still has a white background.

Does anyone know how to do this?

If I remember correctly, the only way to do this is to hide the paper layer and export as a .png image sequence.
I think when you export as a movie or gif, it still adds white even if you hide or delete the paper layer.

But .pngs I know for sure will work. Problem is you need a program to compile it back together.
This is how I get my walk cycles into Adobe After Effects and add a panning background there.

Hope this helps.

Yeah I think I'll either do this or put them all in photoshop and export a transparent background from there (I also use After Effects).
Thanks so much!

Hello

To export animation with a transparent background, hide the paper layer.
Select File / Export animation / Animated sticker (APNG).
Select the save file name (.png) and save destination.
Enter the necessary items in the "Animated sticker (APNG) export settings" window.
To make it a movie to be repeatedly played, change Loop count: to "Unlimited".
It is exported.

When looking at Mac's Finder, the background does not look like a transparent display when the item is icon display, list display, or camra display.
It looks transparent in the case of Cove Flow display.
You can also animate the background transparency by dropping and dragging a movie file to the web browser (Google Chrome).

No program to compile is needed.

Thank you all. Your answers do really help. I just think that it is a bit complicated for timing and everything. It's ok for now. Maybe if I really need to have a transparent background I'll put them all in photoshop? Thanks for the help :)
