Question

A few regressions in Animate 23 from 22

Hey everyone, just thought i'd post a few things i've ran into after updating to 23 over the last big project. These are things I did not really have a problem with in 22.

 

1. The asset warp tool is more unreliable

On multiple, larger warped assets spanning over 60 seconds long (at 30fps) of warped asset tweens, copying and pasting tween frames can randomly break the link to the asset with the tween. The warped asset will either change it's association to the next warped object in the layer below or above it, or the linked asset will show '---' and become invisible. Because there is currently no way to right click > swap warped asset with another like a symbol, the animation is corrupted. This doesn't happen on 22 when copying and pasting large warped assets.

 

2. Undos can become corrupted

Undoing when a history path includes entering an exiting a symbol can corrupt the undo history. Pressing ctrl+z past this point will start giving undesired behaviour, where undos in a symbol are being done on the main timeline or another symbol. (Animate did not enter or exit the symbol correctly through the undo history)

 

3. Animate is aggressively remembering selections per-frame.

Something introduced in 22 but seems to be even worse, this 'feature' remembers selections on a per-frame basis. Skipping between frames to view animations with ',' and '.' are difficult because the selection will show grey dots over your drawn work. You need to press ctrl+shift+a on every frame that remembers it has a selection.

 

Yes I know this is a community group. Please share any other regressions you've had in 23. I've had to return to 22 for my projects for now.

Hi BSB2, 

Indeed, the Asset Warp Tool has been giving me trouble (probably from the software update?). Everything was fine during the project in early 2023, but I opened my files recently. The PNG & meshes are completely ''distort/torn'' now for no reason, cause I haven't touched it since.

Could this problem really come from software updates?

Or for another reason that you noticed on your side?

I'm trying to fix this problem for an important project.

Thanx

no update would change your old files unless opened and resaved with the update..

Thanks kglag for your answer. In fact, I did not save in a more recent version, but only noticed the torn PNGs when simply opening the files.

Yes I know. I thought it would be useful to share my known issues here and ask others to do the same. It is extremely disheatening to not know about these issues, one that corrupts long animation, and lose days of work. Best that people know about this and at least avoid the Asset warp tool for large projects in 23. And to avoid using a long undo-history for now.
