The animation has stuff outside the boundaries of the stage, so I have the "clip content outside of stage" toggled on. When I go to Control>Test, a new window appears, but the window size doesn't match the exact size of the original stage, as I can see the "extra drawings" outside of stage; it's off by about an inch or so. Adjusting the window size manually is not reliable in being able to watch what the final product of the movie will look like. Changing it to full screen doesn't solve it, as I can still see drawings outside of original stage.Is there a way to test the movie with accurate stage size?Thank you

I am using Animate to create a movie and was going to export it, but realized that I need Media Encoder to do so. I am using the Adobe Apps through my school's plan, although it ended already and I just activated the free trials. I just needed a few days to work on it so I didn't think it would be an issue, but I noticed that I can't activate the trial for Media Encoder. Is there a way to export my Animate movie without Media Encoder?

How to do it with one click. Creates tween based on the frame contents, motion tween for instances and shape tween for shape objects. 

In addition to creating the animation, does Animate have the capacity to create an app?  If not, what else is needed beyond Animate to create mobile apps?How is Flash air related to Animate?  Thanks for any answers to what may be dumb questions, but I don't know the answers and cannot find info out there that answers them.

Hello. I am trying to import a 3D object from Photoshop into Animate, but apparently it does not support 3D from PSD files, nor any of the 3D file formats that are available to export in PS (?). Am I using the wrong program for the task? What I am trying to achieve is a scene where a truck is driving towards the camera, and I was hoping that there is a way to import the truck as a 3D object and draw a curve on the road for it to follow with correct perspective and scaling throughout. Is this possible at all? If so, in what program? In a mockup I did this frame by frame in PS, just rotating and scaling the 3D object accordingly and saving every frame, but I would like to do it as a nice smooth motion at 24 fps. I have attached the mockup to illustrate. Thank you in advance!

hello. I am from Russia and i need help. I used to work in Animate, but now, because of condions in ukraine (and sanctions) i can't buy any product, even with VPN. what should i do?

Sometimes on complicated files (lots of effects) export will work at first, but then it will completely stop working/gets corrupted. But once I copy the layers and paste them into a new document, export starts to work again. Is there anyway to fix this without doing this over and over?

Hola. Tengo problñemas para importar archivos de audio mp3 en la biblioteca de animate.

Hello.Being an Animate user since around 1998, or Flash user I always loved using it to draw and make logos and graphics inside. The way you draw with vectors is just unique and made me always prefer Animate (Flash) over Illustrator. Still to this day I use it once in a while when I feel like being creative.However.. I know that the application has moved more into the animation path, and that's really cool,because that fixes issues that used to be in the past like making clear exports for video.But some features need to come back / be better.* Export as a vector so we can use graphics outside animate, let's say in Photoshop or indesign.* Copy paste as a vector into the other adobe apps would make life so much more simple. I know I can copy paste as low res graphics, but that is not useful. Right now the only way (i can find) to get graphics out is to use the export (Legacy) function.While this is ok, I'm worried about it having the "legacy" attached to it, cause Adobe once told me

I was working on a project in animate, I had two separate layers one that had an imported video and one that was my line art. I went back today to open the file and for some reason, adobe merged both layers and deleted all frames but one. I check the recovery file and it is in the same state. Does anyone know why this happened or how to fix it?

I am having a problem with my text alignment and I can't figure out a way to correct this. Unfortunately, I'm using a mac with CS3 and a Windows computer with CS4, so it could either be an OS difference, a version difference, or a software bug which I can't figure out.Update: I downloaded a trial CS4 and the problem persists.  This seems to be a mac issue. For some reason, the text on my Mac with CS3 are not in the vertical center of the text fields. This causes a problem with my "align vertical centers" alignments, meaning I've had to do the alignment by hand to get it to look right. When I moved my file to my laptop to keep working on my project at home, I noticed that the text alignment was correct on my laptop, causing all of the text placement throughout my document to be off. This means that I can only work on the one computer and can't bring the project home to work through the weekends. I have made an image showing the difference of how the text is aligned on the two ve

I've noticed that texts in projects made on a Windows machine have a different line spacing or vertical positioning when I open the same FLA on a Mac. I always use OTF fonts so that should make no difference whether I'm using Mac or Windows? When I've made a FLA on a Windows machine and open it on a Mac later mostly all texts are shifted up and the text lines are much closer together. I then have to make the line spacing bigger and move the texts down a bit. This button for example has text that is vertically centered when created in Windows, but when I open that same project on a Mac the texts is positioned higher.This is no problem with Photoshop or Illustrator. Only Animate doesn't seem to handle OTF fonts from Windows to Mac and vice versa. Why is this??

I am creating a responsive project in which I have to animate an object along a custom curve along a custom curve. I have not been able to size the custom curve  properly for various screeen layouts. Please help.

Hello Everyone,I need your help, its been a week since I experience this problem on my project.- I am having a problem with my adobe animate, I already setup a dropbox for backup and restore purposes and setup a file history on windows for me to restore previous version of my project if ever I experience a file corrupting when saving my project. However, even the old version is corrupted when I try to restore it.So heres the scenario:1. When the project file is on animation problem is not occuring.2. When the project file is on Clean up, problem occured. When I am saving the file, it can be save but when I reopen it error occured "Could not load scene into memory. Your document may be damaged."- The rig/character is still there but most of the character parts is missing... like head is there but body, hands, etc is missing.3. When I try to copy the layer to new flash file for me to retrieve my work. I can't paste it. Nothings happening.4. I try to fix it by using winrar tweak, but no l

Hi, I'm trying to work on my film, and last night I closed the file with no issues whatsoever, and when I came back this morning it's riddled with glitches. The symbols for the character rig are shrinking, but only when parented. I tried separating them and they no longer shrunk. Also, when I scrub through the timeline on one rig, the canvas becomes skewed and deformed. I also got black bars on screen when scrubbing, but I was able to get rid of them by copying and pasting my frames into a new symbol (tedious, but it worked). I've had so many issues with Animate and my film in general I feel like it's cursed. If anyone has a solution to the shrinking parenting issue please let me know. I've attached some examples of the glitches.

The problem has been going on since yesterday. It deletes any files that I have saved and used recently. When I first open adobe it will display the file in open recents list and then it will say "File does not exist and will be removed from list.". I cannot find my old files on my finder (I use MacBook Pro). I have even made a new file yesterday that got deleted this morning. I hope there's an easy solution other than "save often" as that's what I do.

I'm using a mask layer on top of a symbol layer with a blur effect.How it's supposed to look like: How it looks:

ok so I'm a bit new to Adobe I used this app for about 6 months but I have a problem,  The animation I import to the stage or time line the first frame is fine but then when it gets to the second and third and continuing the lines get thinner as if something is spreading Note: I use fire alpaca to animate   Idk what the problem could be the file type or the app??  The first pic is the start of the animation  but the second one is like the first pic left marks behind

Hi. I know this issue had been posted to the community before, but anyone know why the paint bucket tool is locked? My screenshot won't show exactly what my bucket tool shows, but on this screenshot it doesn't even show that its even activated. I tried pressing that image with the lock on it in my tool bars, yet it's not allowing me access.

    Hello!   I was experimenting here with different sounds inside the same .mp3 file. Everything was working fine on the timeline and the sound was exactly as i wanted, but when i create the .swf file (or try to export to a .mp3 or .mp4), the sound got all messed up, like if the sound envelope start was very different from the one i planned.   I was able to make it sound right if i changed the soundSync to "stream" (the issue happened with the "event" sync option), but i wanted every sound on "event" mode because i need them to overlap.    Does anybody have any solution (different from creating several layers for each sound)?   Thanks in advance!

I would like to create a looping animation that has dots moving along a rectangular path with rounded corners.  I have seen a tutorial showing how to do this with an open path that has 90 degree angles. The continuous path was drawn with the Pen tool and then made into a dash line. The line was converted to a symbol that was given a number of frames (10). A Shape Tween was applied. A keyframe was created at the end frame. Then the starting point of the keyframed line was shifted by a distance equal to the length of the dash plus the space.  It works pretty well.  But when I tried to do it with a rounded corner rectangle or a series of horizontal and vertical straight lines joined by rounded corners the animation only affetec the first line.  It's as if they were a series of disconnected separate lines.  I don't know how to make a single continuous path. There is no "Join" function in Animate as in Illustrator.  I any case I would appreciate suggestions on

I have a drawing with dash lines inside symbols that appear solid in exported MP4 movies.  Objects with dash lines that aren't in symbols are ok.  WTF?
