I have a C4D render PNG sequence comprising of Gradient colours. I want to make a duplicate it so that i can make it transparent and animate its stroke by increasing its scale. How can i do it. Until now i have done following things:

I have decolourise it to one white colour and tried to key that but that results in irregular stroke.

I have make it gradient colour and tried to zero its opacity but the stroke changes along with it.

 Any solutions?

I want to make the gradient transparent while the strokes needs to be with the same opacity. I have tried keying it but the result was not satisfied as the strokes was removed partially. Anyother solutions?

I still don't know much about that layer except that you have applied a Stroke layer effect to the layer. I'm assuming that the layer is an image sequence with a layer style.

 

If you want a copy of that image sequence that has only the stroke then you need to render another copy of the C4D file with the proper shading. 

 

We still need a lot more information about your project and your workflow. If all you want to do is animate the stroke around the edge of the Alpha Channel then you could use the PNG sequence as an Alpha Track matte for a solid layer with the layer style applied.
