Question

Adobe animate HTML5 MP4 won't play

Hi all,

 

I'm fairly new to adobe animate and it's drinving me nuts. I have to create some banner ads with an mp4 playing, I did some digging to find you have to use a html5 component. I drag the video component to the scene, point to the source file (which is the same res as the banner) and turn on autoplay etc. But when I publish it just show the first frame of the mp4 and does nothing. I really don't understand what is wrong. I've tried making it a symbol(movie clip) but that changes nothing.

 

Can anyone help me with this?

    no.

     

    that's a browser setting that (thankfully) prevents unwanted sound from automatically playing when a page opens.  user interaction (typically a click), is needs to be encoded (already done with the video component) to start the video.

    Take the video into Adobe premiere and delete the audio. Then bring it back in to animate.
