Can't export large files from Animate to AME?

Up until now, I have been exporting ~30 second files from Animate to AME as .mp4 files with no problem. But now I have a 11 minute Animate movie which I wish to export (in order to upload on Youtube), but the Export to Video function doesn't work for this larger file. I have tried H.264 and Quicktime, and tried making either an .mp4 or .mov, but the "Export Media" progress bar in Animate is consistently stuck at 98% and never sends the file to AME. In addition, it keeps generating a file in the 'tmp' Adobe folder that is hundreds of gigabytes big.

I believe the problem is with the file size or the duration of the video, as I tried exporting a smaller scene within the video and it worked fine. Is there a solution to this? It is frustrating that I have a finished video but am stuck at the last step.

try @Mohanaraj's suggestions first.

if they fail, try opening ame and then exporting.

Thank you very much for your response. I'm not sure what you mean by opening AME and exporting. Does that mean I should simply have the program open in the background beforehand? Or is there a way to export it from Animate solely using AME?

Hi @defaultrwfxem369nvw - Can you please try "QuickTime" format with "Default (Animate)" preset and see if the video export goes through? If yes, you can then encode to a desired format later in AME.

Thanks!

Thank you very much for your response. I tried exporting using Quicktime and Default (Animate) but it is again stuck at 98%. I let it run for about an hour but it didn't complete. I don't know if this is intended to happen, but it created a MOV file that was about 200 gigabytes in the folder I was exporting to. I tried opening it but it said there was an error.

I tried removing the sound and exporting a portion of the graphics as an .mp4, and it did successfully export. This makes me believe the file is too large, but that doesn't really make sense either. I wonder if there is something wrong with my settings.
