Hello everybody! I notice that my Adobe Animate app on my computer has a problem with the files. I export it from Media Encoder, and whien I go to my editing apps and press "Import Files", whenever I try to open the files I rendered from Animate to Media Encoder, it will say "File not found" and "File Name Invalid". How do I fix this? It's only been doing this recently, and it never did this before. Thanks & tell me what to do to fix it if you know!

are you navigating to the file's location? if so, what's an example problematic file name.

Okay, I just tried it, and it didn't work. I put in in the "Desktop" files area, and it wasn't even there. When I typed in the name, it said that the file name "wasn't found". I titled the document "YOLO 123!!" to remember it, and it's not there. I'm not sure what's wrong, and if it's some sort of Backup issue, because the files from other apps are backed up. I'm able to make stuff in my editing software, and I can get the file extremely easily, but it seems that just Adobe Animate has an issue with it. Tell me what else I can try if you know. Thanks!

How do I change the save directory?


click the output file link and navigate to local folder and use a reasonable name.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
