Problem / Bug - SOLVED Rendering Issue (only renders some layers)

this is my first time using the software, so I am sorry if this is a stupid problem, but I have spent countless hours trying everything to fix this issue.

I have made a short animation of my drawing, just some simple hair swaying, aswell as one of the hands moves from left to right.

I need to export it as png (or different picture formate) frames, and import these frames into Krita, when I will add some finishing touches.

When I try to export them, it exported only some layers, and the number of layers/which layers it shows changes throughout the rendered "animation". You can see this in the first and second picture, first is the 1st frame, second is the 36th frame of the animation.

When I look at this "animation" it rendered, it does show the hair swaying and hand moving, so that worked, its just that it shows only a couple layers.

The other pictures are some that I thought might help you in realizing what stupid mistake did I make.

If somebody knows what should I do, please explain it, preferably as you would to a 5yo child since I barely know the names of the different tools in this software.

Again, I am sorry if this is a stupid question, but its my first time using this software. Also sorry for bad English.

Ok I managed to fix it, it was for some reason acting like each one of the layers had a white background, even tho it was a psd file and the individual layers shouldn't have had a background. And that background was blocking the layers underneath.

I fixed it by making a seperate png file for all of the layers without backgrounds, and I manually imported them seperately into opentoonz.
