Not sure what it's called, so I can't find it :)

Basically, there's a shadow being included on the "background" of transparent renders.
I don't want to disable lighting shadows on the character, though.
How can we turn this off?



Thanks

Hide a Shadow Catcher prop in the scene.

Another option.

Open the Project Settings.

Scroll down to 2D Background and click in the box beside Background Color.
Select Black as the background and the shadows won't show in a transparent  render.

Thanks guys - 
Turning off the shadow catcher worked.
FYI, I tried the black background thing, but the shadows are still visible in the PNG.

There is a shadow catcher that you will need to remove from the scene. Select it in the Scene Manager and press Delete on your keyboard.
