I am trying to set the background colour of an animation to transparent, and the Editor won’t let me change it. I have tried changing the group colours as well as individual colours in layers, but nothing shows. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Are you editing on the website itself? Have you tried turning the BG layer off? Or have you used the BG Color picker seen here:
