Dear all, After exporting my project as an mp4 file in adobe animate the size is too big so then I have to compress it with another tool.Does adobe animate compress it when exporting as an mp4 file? Thank you very much in advance,

Hi!I have already searched if this topic is in the discussion however I couldn't find out. My problem is, when I want to give a little move to the leaves of  a tree, it ends up with the leaves going away from the point I want them to move and fly around 🙂 Firstly I make a graphic symbol of the whole plant, (I tried the movie clip too) then I break them apart by ctrl+B and make each leaf graphic symbol then I arrange the each leaves central point, and distribute the layers n the timeline and give them classic tween.  Please let me know where I made a mistake and I can upload a video if this wasn't in detail. Thank you very much,G

I have opened several files, and I want to use the jsfl command to close the currently operating file, similar to ctrl+w, but there is no need to prompt to save. I checked the help manual,Inside there is a fl.closeDocument(fl.documents[0], false);But the closed file is not the currently operating document,What I want now is to close the document I'm currently working on without being prompted to save it.Can jsfl make it possible? I'm too dumb to code, but I need something like this.can you help me? Thanks

Hi!!!I would like to import my vectors starting at, for example, the 1515th frame To this, I create a new layer> stretch it in the timeline > and choose the 1515th frame so the imported vectors will start from that frame. Is this the right method? Because it still starts from the 1st frame and I need to drag them... Thank you very much in advance!

I am working on a translation project in animate cc, which includes Bengali, Telugu language. when i copy paste the content to the animate cc it does not show me the correct language. Can someone please help me how to fix this.

Hi!I am sure there is a way to stretch out or narrow down the existing layers in the timeline, but I can't seem to find it. Instead of dragging the layers horizontally, I would like to stretch out the only beginning or the end of the layer, while the other end stays the same. Normally software with layers has this ability, so I wonder if adobe animate does that. Many thanks... 

why we can not import mp4 flies in adobe animate in a easy way like flash cs3

Hi!When importing an ai file to adobe animate, the illustration has different symbols with the same color code.  I manually change the into a different color. for example, the picture has red and I change them into purple because of the content of my project but it takes so much time to change them one by one. I wonder if is there a shorter way to change the chosen vectors' color into a different single color. Many thanks,

Hello. Encoding the movie seems to be making random layers disappear entirely. This was an issue in testing the movie too, but I didn't think it'd carry over into exporting the movie. I was willing to deal with it because at least layers/frames displayed correctly on the stage itself. But if it's going to export the problem I have to know how to fix it. Please help :c None of the layers are set to guide, and the scene has 1323 frames so far with many, many layers (just in case this is relevant) 

Hi. whenever i use paint brush (Y) in  stripped style after using it for like 6 strokes the animate goes not responding and it won't work i have to close it and re open the project but strocks aren't there. and if i redo the previous steps same thing happens.. it's impossoble to work with stripped style. and my system meets the requirements.

So I've animated my object, all key frames and colored in. My Question is how can I change the size of the entire object bringing it closer in the frame because it looks to small. I don't want to mess it up because it is already animated.

Hi there! I want to animate this brown ball changing color, though how can I accomplish that it stays in the same place or rather, position for each frame? 😁 Any help is appreciated hahah.

By a process of elimination, when I add clickTag code to my HTML file, it's removing the stage colour. </head><body onload="init();" style="margin:0px;"><a href="javascript:window.open(window.clickTag)"><canvas id="canvas" width="250" height="250"></canvas></a> Is there a workaround please? Thank you.

The "Maintain size" option for layer depth doesn't seem to do anything, regardless if I toggle on or off. I'm on a keyframe and have changed the depth number for the layer. The size of the artwork changes and I don't want it to. What might I be doing wrong?Thanks,RR

 Hello, I designed a character using the pixel art program called Asperite. I can't make an animation using the bone tool even though I converted it to a symbol. I select the bone tool and while doing it the mouse icon turns into a negative icon. How can I solve this problem?

I was trying to access the tutorial "Create a 2D character animation" at the link https://helpx.adobe.com/animate/how-to/create-2d-animation.html I had watched it once before and it was very helpful for me, but now it seems to forward only to the bone tool tutorial. Does anyone know where or how I can access the tutorial? It was an apple on a skateboard. It still shows as listed on the tutorial section.

I coded it so that when the button is clicked it goes to frame 2 and plays the animation, but when i test it goes to frame 4 instead? How can i fix.This is my first time using HTML5 Canvas and just a quick demo so please excuse the bad quality.

I was trying to create an animation in Adobe Animate, but I having trouble getting my drawings to look smooth and consistent. I tried using the brush tool, but the lines keep appearing jagged and rough, making your animation look unprofessional. I also noticed that the software is running slower than usual, and I experiencing frequent crashes and freezing while working on my project. This is causing frustration and delays in my work, as I am unable to complete the animation on time. Creating for [URL removed by Moderator]. 

I've been trying to import a wav file into Adobe Animate (ver 23) and the error messages says it can't read the file (wav). I've tried putting it into the Media Encoder with no luck as well. Is there a fix for this? thanks

Hi,  I'm working on a larger scale project in Adobe Animate and I'm working on the animatic right now, but I'm noticing every time I add a keyframe and draw on that keyframe, then play it back, the animation will stop on the new keyframe I added for like three seconds before continuing to play. This is really slowing down my process and I am wondering if there is a way to fix this. Here is a screenshot of the project:I am using ActionScript and also have audio added within the timeline. The audio does not pause and plays fine but the animation completely stops for three seconds at every new keyframe drawing that I add. Weirdly enough, it does not stop at new frames that are images I have imported, but only at the keyframes that I have used the Paint Brush tool to draw on. I am using a charcoal-esque stroke for the Paint Brush btw. Thanks in advance!

I'm learning to use containers. I have the body of the character, the arms of the character, and a table in front of them. If I want the arms on top of the table, but the body behind the table, what is the best way to do this?Best I've come up with is that I would make a body container, then put the table and arms over that- but then the issue I have is syncing up the body and the arms to move at the same time. I am aware of the parenting feature, but I have actively had so many issues with parenting, not limiting to just straight up deleting the asset, so I'd rather not use parenting. Let me know what works best please.-Ginger

Hi all, I wanted to showcase a prevolent bug in newer versions of animate that aren't a problem in older verisons such as Animate 2018. Some of these reasons are still why some of my friends refuse to upgrade to newer versions of Animate and stick with older versions of Animate, or even Adobe Flash CS6.This issue can get really tedious and annoying to fix. The obvious solution to this is to use the camera tool in post-production once you've finished animation, but it makes it incredibly hard to lay out shots. Because of this bug, I am using a V-Cam, which hasn't presented any problems, but I would like to use features like layer depth. I hope this gets fixed soon.

I can't use the tools of type of bones, freeze junctions and so. The program is updated and I can't follow the jellyfish starting tutorial, as I do not have these options available. What can I do?
