Hi all,

I need to export an animation as a series of .png files with “Save Animation”, but…  
…is it possible to set a transparent background? I can’t find the setting

Thanks a lot.

SOLVED.  
The setting can be accessed from the Settings dialog, General Tab. Search for “Transparent Background” under the advanced settings.
