Saving a scene as a .mp4 without background

Can you save a scene (performance) without a background?  I'm going through Media Encoder CC2018.

In Character Animator, whether I select no background, or white background, the rendered .mp4 video always has a black background......

The mp4 does not support a transparent background. You need to export to a format with an alpha channel, such as mov. Or you can drag the scene from Character Animator to After Effects or Premiere Pro, and the background will remain transparent.
