I'm liking the animation features on stager so far. I rendered out my first comp but when I open the PSD sequence on After effects, i am not able to isolate the model. 

If i open the individual PSD files on the sequence however, I can hide the background from the layers. 

is there a way to do this in a batch way? So i don't have to open all 200psd files and hide each background independetly?

I found a workaround, i created an action that hides the background layers and saves the file. Then I went to file > automate > batch and automated this action on all the PSD files. worked great

A much easier way it to do it is to turn the background "off" and then render out your files. It's one button to turn off the background in Stager, then just render/export and that's all.  Your model will the the only thing that is exported and it will be exported on a transparent background.

    There is also another way if you render with green background. After exporting it as movie you can remove background in After Effect use https://youtu.be/f4cCPkCjKwY
