Animate

I did the hands on bouncing ball tutorial that comes installed in the most recent version of Animate and it really helped me to understand the basic concepts of the software.  However when I try to create my own project file from scratch, nothing works. In the project file for the tutorial I can draw shapes and import bitmaps, but when I try to do that in a new project, my work his hidden (like it's behind a layer). I've attached screen shots.  Help?

Help! I just downloaded Animate onto my Mac and when I try to open the program a popup states: "Could not write to the directory /Users/[USER]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Animate 2020/en_US". How do I fix this so I am able to use the program?

I'm trying to create an animation that is supposed to go on top of a video I've filmed. The problem is when I import the video into adobe animate, it doesn't move. It's stuck on the first frame. Only when you go into "test" will it actually move, but that makes the process of animation so much more difficult.

This has been present since installation and seems to only occur when the camera is enabled, any solutions?

Hello Animate Community, Does anyone know to how to make the layer properties window open up on the Cintiq monitor side? Whenever I double click the layer icon to view properties, it opens up on my other monitor. I'd like for it to open on my Cintiq monitor. Any advice out there?

I downloaded adobe animate from the creative cloud and used it my first day with no issues. When I came back the next day, however, animate crashed on launch. Every time I try to open it, the startup window shows up and as soon as it says "building workspace", a crash report shows up and the program closes. I also have Photoshop and Dream weaver downloaded and they both still work fine. I have attempted the following to fix this:1. uninstalling and reinstalling animate2. uninstalling and reinstalling adobe creative cloud3. signing out and back into my adobe account4. restarting my computer5. updating windows 10( I should have mentioned this earlier but I am using windows 10)6. turning off the firewall and antivirus7. Updating my drivers( I know this is more for gaming but I thought it would be worth trying) I saw that an issue like this happened in 2018 involving the number of fonts on your computer could crash Animate but Adobe claimed to have fixed this and I have the latest ver

I have a Macbook Pro 16", Core i9, 16GB ram, GPU: AMD 5500 pro, 4GB VRAM. I tried several times to import a simple vector (about 40 Mb)  to adobe animate cc (latest version), and it either crashes or gets freeze for a long time, and I have to force quit Adobe animate. Since there is no preference setting for adobe animate; unlike photoshop or premiere, what should I do? Thanks in advance.  Topics 

Hi I have a live action video that I filmed that I want to animate.  Problem is, I don't really know which adobe software to use (or if it is even possible with adobe).  It wouldn't be a complex animation. https://www.reddit.com/r/W2S/comments/g60vo7/little_bit_of_animation_of_harry_crossbar/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x It would be along the lines of the animation in the link above. 

Hello! I work a lot with programs like Maya and Photoshop. Both programs have a hotkey when held down you can easily zoom in and adjust size where you specify with your cursor.  In Photoshop, if you holw down ALT and scroll with the wheel you can zoom into things easily. It is essential to work. I just got into animate because i intend to create some 2d animations. BUT i cannot find anywhere the zoom hotkey. There should be a key like in photoshop that if held down you can zoom with the wheel , no?  It feels so awkward and time consuming to adjust the zoom ratio on top by typing 50% or 120% etc...  There must be a hotkey for this no? Z is for zooming, but its not good because you cant control the amount with the wheel. It just set to preset amount, it feels uncomfortable... OMG i wish i could delete this post. Never mind, i fixed it lol. I resetted the program settings and what do you know, its CTRL + scroll lol what an idiot i am sorry guys

So I’m trying to animate from a tutorial using the fluid brush. I’m pretty new to animate but did flash years ago and work almost daily in after effects. My problem is I have a shape inside a symbol, and I am trying to add bold, but non-uniform, border on the inside of the shape. Just imagine for the sake of this it’s a circle. Here’s my process: - I have the circle inside the symbol layer just as a shape- I click and select the circle- keeping the circle selected, I then click the fluid brush and change the brush mode to “paint selection”- I try to paint but it just paints like normal, extending over and outside of the bounds of the shape.Am I missing something? I've tried it with object mode on and off, with the fill locked and unlocked. Not only that but I tried changing it to EVERY different brush mode and it just paint like normal. That makes me think I’m just doing something wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can see using this feature A LOT. Attache

Hello everyone, just need some help hereWhenever I try to draw a line on animate, it just draws a straight line downwards. This appears to be a software issue with animate because it works fine in photoshopIf anybody has any way to fix this, that would be great!

Hi, I'm new to Animate. I've done the hands on bouncing ball tutorial, however when I set up a new project I can't do same things I can do in the tutorial (I'm assuming the settings are different). I cannot change the color of the background (when I do it changes color in the timeline but not the workspace. If I draw in the work space, I see the outlines of my lines (as if my work is hidden under a layer), but can't see the actuall linework itself.  Same thing if I try to import a bitmap (the square shape of the bitmap is visible, but the image on it is not). All of the above I have no problem implementing in the bouncing ball hands on tutorial built into the latest versio of Animate. My question is this: how do I set up the project so it has the same settings as the tutorial project. Thanks in advance.

I've managed to get lipsync working well, and parented the mouths symbol to the face layer. The mouth and face stay together when moved, but as the head tilts the mouth stays horizontal. I've tried parenting mouth to face, vs face to mouth, tried grouping them but that doesn't seem to work. Suggestions?

Hi,I am dynamically loading images into a preposoitioned and sized MC.  The image is larger than the MC but same proportions.  What I would like to do is have the image load at the same size as the MC or be scaled to fit it. Currently it comes in at original size and  overflows the MC size.  Is there a setting for the properties of the MC properties that I am missing? I am using this code: var imageID = 'images/small/HF0000_004.jpg'; var p = new createjs.Bitmap(imageID); //here I want to size the image to the MC this.addChild(p); this.play(); The code is in the first frame of the MC instance Any help appreciated.

First, l hate Flash er..."Animate" as it is now called...it is every bit a clunky and unintuitive as predecessor. Here is my CURRENT problem, if anyone can help I would appreciate your time.  I have built an armature of a figure with each element that I want to animate as separate symbols (Head, upper and lower arms, legs, etc.) I spent an hour working with the bone tool, keyframes etc. getting the first few seconds animation just how I wanted it, no problem. I save the file close the program and come back to the next day and the elements of the armature are no longer in sync. The upper arm has moved x amount of pixels that way and the lower leg has moved x amount that way, etc. So I spend another hour in outline mode get everything back to were it was and save. I play back the animation and the left foot has moved x amount of pixels, I fix it...play back and the left hand has now moved x amount of pixels! Other using Animate in the first place what am I doing wrong? Why will the

 When importing a pixel .ai vector from illustrator (either by copying/pasting from illustrator or by importing from desktop) I am seeing the pixels break up when exporting the animation (e.g. increasing the size). There is no issue with the vector as I am able to scale in both the animate UI and export from illustrator at any size. Any ideas what's happening? Before export:  After export 

Since the recent Animate CC update, there are a few recurring issues that have surfaced, some of which are mentioned below:1) Not able to render Movie Clips that are oriented and animated using the 3D Rotation Tool. The 3D orientation is not visible in the final render, but it is visible on the timeline.2) Camera issues.Pointless to add camera and advanced layer functions in Scene 1 only, as it destroys the purpose of nested symbols.Need to optimize the camera as the scene gets heavy even with a few layers.3) Other issues:Layer filters are not optimized as well. The system crashes frequently when working with them.Symbols disappear when re-opening the file.Frequent blackouts when working with images.Animate crashes when it is kept idle for some time.Workspace issues - Toolbar and other menus disappear when Animate is booted. It has to be resetted everytime.System Configurations:Intel Core i7 (8th-Gen)32 GB RAMWindows 10 (64 bit)NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GBExport format - .MOV (as it is

I animated a woman playing guitar in a symbol. I want to use the bone tool to make her dance while she plays guitar. I placed the symbol on the stage on one of my layers. I extended frames with the symbol out on the timeline to 160 frames. I tryed using the Bone Tool on the symbol but it won't work at all.
