Adobe Animate Lag

Question

Hello I have been using Animate on various jobs for the past 4 years or so. I have used various line toold and shape objects and I have never had problems with lagging. Sadly on my most recent job I have had absolutely horrible problems with lagging, virtually slowing my work down drastically. I have tried the obvious solutions:

- scaling down

- lowering the preview quality

- deleting the library cache

- installing an older version of the software

The issues that occur are that it takes a very long time to zoom in and out, delete linework and the software often crashes when I select all the linework when I want to change the line thickness, or color. The lag becomes worse the more linework I add, so the end of my shot, doing simple things like moving around the stage becomes torturous.

All your support and help will be greatly appreciated

If you're doing your linework with variable-width strokes it's going to slow down the program considerably; the paintbrush tool by itself is notoriously heavy to render, specially if you're using custom art brushes.

Try converting them to fills and optimize the amount of anchor points by going to Modify > Shape > Optimize.
