Adobe Animate Shrinking Layers Help

Hi, I just finished a school project that took me SO LONG to get done (beginner here) I finished animating and went to export, everything looked good! Media Encoder took foreverrrr and then eventually it just quit out of both the encoder and my animate application. I had everything saved but when I played it back a few parts were messed up. PLEASE HELP. attached is a photo. I cannot figure out why my animations limbs are shrinking???

I can recreate the problem; it has something to do with combining classic tweens with motion tweens and parenting layers to motion tweened symbols. Remove the motion tween of the 'body' layer (right click > Remove Motion Tween), you'll notice this gets rid of the shrinking; once done recreate the movement using classic tweens only.

You're welcome, I made a bug report to the dev team as well since this shouldn't be happening.

do you see the problematic tweens when checking your timeline within animate?
