I’m attempting to create a few animations for my website and one in particular has me stumped because I can’t seem to render the single Alpha Stencil shape layer properly. I want the animations to be transparent so that the gradient on the background of my site can show through the animation. I was able to figure out a workaround to make the individual animations work the way I want, but there is still one piece that requires a mask/alpha stencil blending. In the attached photo, the red area in the Lottie preview is what I would like removed, (the After Effects preview is what I would like the final to look like, with the black being transparent.

Any tips or other workarounds people know about would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
