Hi. If you are using a simulated ICE tree you can get an array add the new data to it using the build array node and then set it each frame. this will build a list of lengths upto the current frame. or if its not simulated u can build an array of size=no. of frames and populate it with the lengths

Under Render-Pass-?Edit current pass, there is Render Channels Output Select under Filr name , Edit and change output format to PNG and right from that make sure it says RGBA. That should take care of rendering correct output, now there could be something else in scene to affect your alpha too.

No problem I have included an image of the setup. the scalar number is what you are adding and SomeArray is the array you want to put the value in. In the setup shown the new value is added to the bottom of the list each frame. If you swap the get data and the value it will be added at the top.
