Question

Animate keeps shutting down plus doesn't import my files..

So, I had a full day long call with Adobe support... the guy deleted and complety reinstalled Adobe Could again because Animate kept shutting down... well.... it's shutting down again...

 

There are some illustrator files that Animate doesn't import completely...  I tried to copy and paste an specific set of lines from Illustrator to Animate (which were not being transfer in the complete file from Illustrator to Animate), and next you know the complete Animate app is shutting down again.

 

I don't know what else to do... Animate keeps shutting down, or transfer half files, or shuts down again when I try to copy and paste an specific item...

 

Today another Adobe phone support guy said the items are not compatible and basically it was my fault the program kept shutting down.

 

Are there any other ways to get this fix?

Update....

 

Apparently the problem comes from using items from my library... 

 

If I don't inlcude any drawings from my Illustrator library, then the Illustrator file transfer correctly.... besides some restrictions such as dashed lines which I am trying to figure out how to work with..

are you opening animate>clicking file>import?

 

if so how large are the ai files crashing animate and how much ram is on your computer?

This particular file size is 327 kb

My computer has 16 GB installed

and my resources are way low when working on the file.

 

If there was a problem on resources surely the Adobe guy would have said something after working on my computer an entire day.

 

I highly suspect it has something to do with items from the library that are in my file and are not showing up in Animate, and then crashing Animate when I try to open that file.

 

My drawings are fairly simple, so I am going to do a few redraws and keep them in another AI file instead of the library.   I am going re-draw the file without using any library items see if it works.
