Is this a normal way of exporting? Why would you export PNG and edit in after effects (as opposed to editing an video)

sorry for noob question

Yeah, it would be nice to see a version of the Image Masking tool (what you called 'magic crop') come back. I think SM lost this one because the code for the tool was owned by a third party. A similar tool is available in many paint programs like Photoshop, Krita (free), etc., so I would just do it...

Im using the "erase" brush on bitmap function to get rid of background to crop images once i render the white box of the object or w.e. background i have returns... I was doing this before without issue any idea what i could be doing wrong? example of what im doing: Googling "Violin&q...

also happens if you have layers with the same name in a switch layer >.< im sure its common knowledge but if you dont know theres nothing to tell you
