Animate

I am in the process of creating an HTML5 video player that requires an HD video to be shrunk into a 640x360 web page.Scaling down the HD video creates a lot of pixelization, especially in onscreen text... When I created a previous .SWF version, I discovered this code could make the scaling much cleaner with no pixelization: // Note: Using the Embedded .flv Video Component in a .swf var vid:VideoPlayer = Video_Section_1.getVideoPlayer(0); vid.smoothing = true;  I've been trying to find a "smoothing=true" equivalent in the HTML5 Canvas, but haven't had any luck so far...Does such a feature exist? Thanks for any help!

I imported a flv video(in_a_club_cut20.flv) to my Animate(dino_in_a_club.fla), length is < 8 seconds, 24fps.put on stage, modify frame rate to be 20fpstest movie(Control > test movie > in animate ), the video becomes slow, about 1/3 of original speed. I exported a mp4 named dino_in_a_clubTestExpirt.mp4 for your reference.I tried 24fps and modify Animate file to be 24fps, but it still becomes slow speed.Please help, thank you The original speed should be in_a_club_cut.mp4The .fla is removed automatically by this sit due to the reason above:Correct the highlighted errors and try again.The attachment's dino_in_a_club.fla content type (application/octet-stream) does not match its file extension and has been removed. I don't know why.

Can anyone tell me what are the main differences between Adobe Animate CC 19 and 20 Besides the new interface or additional interface and the new brush tool which requires a larger GPU???? is the video exporting an effective improvement??? Is it more smooth then 19  Also heard that there are several buttons now....one for blank keyframe and one for normal keyframe.....plz if anyone could give an in depth analysis....I would be greatful 

Hello. Some background info first. I have a Bachelor of Communications and am trying to learn Animate but do not plan to enrol in a formal Diploma as I need to learn in my own time.  I cannot find any good courses on Adobe Animate. I have tried Skillshare, Udemy, Youtube, Lynda and none of them have any THOROUGH contente. All of the courses provide partial information or provide skills to a very basic level.  I would be happy to pay money for a good course. Has anyone completed a good Animate course without having to enrol in a formal diploma/degree.   

I have a 16 frame run cycle and a 24 frame walk cycle. This is an issue because when I loop them, the run cycle disappears before the walk cycle finishes playing through. They're the same character using limbs from the same library so I can make changes to the same limbs in both cycles in real time. Is there any way to make each cycle into a symbol without hindering my ability to edit the parts of both cycles together so that I can just loop both from start to finish at the same time?

Hi Everyone! I was hoping to get some help. I am creating an animation and have overlayed a shape on top of a drawing of a boat to mask the boat and create a wave. When I click on mask with the wave shape however, the masking object dissepears. I have attached screenshots:Shows before the mask (the purple shape on top is what I create the mask on)Shows after I try to mask (the purple shape on top dissepears)Does anyone know what is going on?Thanks!Meera

Hi, So I'm using Adobe Animate, I'm trying to use the bone tool to connect few joints together, however when I join 2 connectors together with Bone Tool, when I want to connect the 2nd connector to the 3rd connector, the connector between 1st and 2nd disappears and creates one more Armature. I wish to connect all the joints together in 1 Armature, are there any shortcuts we could press on our keyboard to help? Thanks.

The tutorials for Adobe Animate need review and updating. While I was able to follow the Photoshop Tutorials with such precision and little effort, the tutorials for Animate are hard and cumbersome. For a start the interface is different from what is presented in the videos and functions do not react in the same way. For example, applying a linear gradient colour as instructed in the second video of Create a 2D character animation (Create the Scene). It would be helpful if you could review this and advise how to apply the linear colour as in the video and provide appropriate notes for each section, as you have done with the Photoshop Tutorials – which were very good. The notes that are provided in the Animate tutorials are brief and ineffective.

Hey up i'm trying to create a start / stop play button for an audio file within adobe AN, i can do it using action script 3, but not using html5 as it only plays audio as events, any suggestions.

Hi! I have created a "follow the bouncing ball" video for a children's song I have written.  The project is complete except for some tweeking, but I have a problem with the ball. As it moves to the right side of the stage it seems to vanish and is replaced by a square that almost looks like a mask of some kind.  When editing you can get this box to disappear and the ball to reappear by increasing the view size or moving the frame to the left, so I thought it might be weird artifact of the editor (the file I am working with is very large).  However, when I export the file the box is still there.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

I want to Animate along to a song, but I'm only finding tutorials on how to add sound afterwards. Is there a way to input the sound first then be able to play it along while I animate? Sorry if tis is worded weirdly, not sure how to word it.

Hello, I'm a (broke) college student interested in animation, and I've read on the internet that there's a specific version of Adobe Flash that is claimed to be "legal" to use for free (version MX2004). I don't wanna be an outlaw, and I'd rather avoid using it if it affects Adobe in any way (though I doubt it'd do much since it's a piece of software that's 16 years old). But I wanna know if it's possible to use it for professional endeavors.Thank you.

I'm new to Animate and would like to do a simple stacking of cardboard box graphic, then have graphic truck come in.  I work with PP and AE mostly and will use the animation I create in a video.  Any insight is appreciated.  Im not a grpahic artist but I can follow step by steps.  Thanks!Kevin

I am trying to move an object (a movie clip called "m_bubble") across the screen using the EventListener tick. I need to turn on and turn off the movement so I have 'nested' the tick code inside a click EventListener (controlled by "b_button"):var instructioncount = 0;this.b_button.addEventListener("click", ct1.bind(this));function ct1(){instructioncount += 1;stage.addEventListener("tick", moveIt.bind(this));function moveIt(){if(instructioncount == 2){this.m_bubble.x -= 1;}if(instructioncount == 3){this.m_bubble.x -= 1;}if(instructioncount == 4){this.m_bubble.x -= 1;}if(instructioncount == 5){this.m_bubble.x -= 1;}if(instructioncount == 6){stage.removeEventListener("tick", moveIt.bind(this));}}}So it works, but here's the problem. When I click the button more than once the bubbles move faster and it doesn't appear predictable, even though the parameters are the same. As I recall, the good old 'enter_frame" in ActionScript didn't do this.   Why does Flash have to die - couldn'

Does anyone know why this would happen when enabling pressure sensitivity? It's happening at the start of every stroke, most noticeably when drawing up or down. I don't get this in photoshop or illustrator using the same Wacom Intuos Pro medium.
