My daughter received Animate CC for Christmas and she is very frustrated because she creates a piece of work and then the program will shut down unexpectedly. It happens every time she uses it. Any ideas?

most of us see no such problem. ie, there's something about your computer system that's playing a key to the crashes.

HI, I am also facing the same problem. I only wanted to start learning this software and I cannot as it keeps crashing from anything. I would need to use this software with premade illustrator files, but the following happens.

Trying to import an illustrator file = crashes and exits

Copy Pastes layers one by one then trying to save the file = crashes and exits

Can Anything be done to fix this issue?

reset your preferences:

1.assign (if none now exist) a custom keyboard shortcut:

2.reset your preferences* (you should not give up on this until you've tried several times)

3.confirm you were successful by checking your keyboard shortcut was reset

if it's not, return to step 2

if it is reset, check if the problem is resolved

* press and hold Control+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Animate.

I've been facing the same issue. It keeps crashing. The other issue I am facing is that it does not export the file to.mov format. Instead, it crashes and the file saves as .swf. This is so frustrating and is really delaying my work.

What the hell is happening with this product??? It crashes ALL THE TIME, from nothing! I'm an iMac/Mabook (Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.2) user and both crashes (Animate CC 18.0.1 Build 115), always losing my work progress, it's ridiculous! Happens with the most simply action as painting something or manipulating shapes or lines!
