Hi, I created a mini GIF with just text and I want to export it with a transparent background.
Is it possible ? If yes, how ? 
Thanks

Hey,
I faced a similar problem, but was able to export the animated gif by choosing the option "save for web (legacy)" from the export menu. Hope this helps! 🙂

You can't.

 

However you can export as a PNG sequence which allows transparency.

1. Export as PNG Sequence to folder

2. Open Photoshop and go to open. Select the first image in the PNG sequence and select options in the open window. Select checkbox Image Sequence and press open. A framerate box should pop up, type in video framerate.

3. File > Export > Export as select gif and export in your settings.

 

You should then get a transparent gif.
