Question

Transparency Grid isn't removing the background

Hello all,

 

I'm currently trying to make my background transparent by clicking "Toggle Transparency Grid", but when I do so I'm not able to export a transparent background. I'm creating GIF's using AF with the plugin called "gifgun" which essentially makes it easy to export GIF's, but I don't think that's the issue here. 

 

Do anyone have suggestion on how I can make my composition have a tranparent background??

You need to be sure you are using version 1.6 or later of GifGun. They added support for transparency in that version. I'm not in front of my AE installation but I think there is an option on exporting called "Keep Alpha" or "Keeep Transparency" when using GifGun.

 

Another option is to export a Quicktime ProRes 4444 with Alpha channel, open that movie in Photoshop and export the GIF with Phosothop.
