I'm exporting an image sequence using Export > Render Video and set to "Photoshop Image Sequence", but my png's come out with a black background, my psd has no background and the intended result is transparent. How can I export with a transparent background?

Correct answer Michael Bullo

In the bottom right corner of the Render Video dialog box is a section called Render Options. I'm guessing your value for Alpha Channel currently reads as None. Change this to Straight - Unmatted and I think you will get the transparency in your exports that you are looking for. You could also explore the other Premultiplied options.

If you export it to png sequence instead of photoshop sequence, you have transparency in your images.

Which version of Photoshop and OS? Do you see black background in Explorer/Finder or imaes have black background when you open them in Photoshop?
