Ability to render images as png/gif length of animation

Ability to render images as png, similar to StudioSB and Crossmod, if GIF rendering is possible it would be even awesome

This is definitely doable to add at some point.

Aside from gifs, I also add to the discussion the wish to be able to export transparent PNG sequences from animations

Edit: To be even more specific, I'm thinking of a use case (mine) where someone wants to render every character's standing animation, for example. For that to be possible, it would also be great if there was a way of setting the camera with exact numbers, including things like FoV. Then, exporting the animation as a PNG sequence that could easily be transformed into a transparent WEBM externally

I saw screenshot saving was added. Is GIF rendering being added soon too?

GIF rendering is more involved, so it probably won't be in the next update.

The only thing left to be implemented for this is saving with a transparent background when rendering as an image sequence with a format that supports transparency like PNG.

Does that include GIF too because I think GIF does have 1 bit transparency.

Thanks for the update! I was able to generate videos with transparency like these:

output.webm

output2.webm

Transparency will surely help, since I couldn't get rid of the pink background completely in my examples.

Transparency will be in the next release for PNG and GIF.
