One small point you see the line around the figure any thoughts about removing it ?

Open it in your 2d editor. Use your selection tool to select the figure. Shrink it down by one or 2 pixels. Reverse the selection and erase the edge. If your program has the option, you might also want to anti-alias the selection too.

The outline is caused by part of your background color showing through the anti-aliased edges of the rendered figure. Poser doesn't seem to like making partial transparencies. It adds the background to solidify them.

The advice from BagginsBill to get rid of the grey lines around a PNG render:

Caveat - this advice is for Firefly and I have no idea if it works in Superfly.

Set render settings to Render Over: Black. Not set your background to black then render over that; specifically use the setting Render Over: Black.

For Superfly, one option is to apply the Cycles holdout node to the entire construct (ground and sky), that gives you a Superfly render of the dolly on a transparent background: Sylfie Superfly raster.png construct material:

Thanks for showing where the node can be found. Sometimes it's like a mystery hunt for them
