Animate Camera Depth and Paint Brush Issues

Hi,

I've recently been experiencing 2 recurring issues in Animate, and I'm curious if anyone else has the same problems and if there are any straightforward fixes. I'm using the most recent build, 326, version 19.0. I've had this problem over 2 computers, one a pc, one a mac, both reasonably powerful.

1. When using the Layer Depth tool my exports (swf or video exports) don't match up to what I see on my stage. The motion can be erratic if there is more than two keys on the camera tween. The depth is shallower, like it switches from a wide lens in the scene to a telephoto (with the same framing) in the swf, so I'm getting less parallax. I've tried keyframing all on my camera's motion tween which adds some stability, but the other issues remain.

2. Using the pencil tool with a stippled or hatched style, or the Paint Brush using certain Vector Art brushes causes considerable slowdown of the program, to the point where it becomes unusable. I don't understand why these brushes would be incorporated if their use needs to be restricted.

Can anyone shed any light on a fix for these things, or at least acknowledge I'm not the only one having these problems! I've hunted all over for answers but can't find any. I'd post the source .fla here if I knew how to!

Many thanks,

B
