Hi everyone, I have this strange bug. I was making HTML5 Canvas Animation, 30FPS, intend long 12-15 minutes. When I reached frame 16075, keyframe showing as blank keyframe (though the scene still showing it as it is). These keyframes no longer be able to create any tweens and no animation can be added to them.

Is it a bug/ feature of Adobe Animate that limit number of frames/ file size? My file now reach ~50MB, and it will be larger later.

    We've been waiting for you! It took many years but we finally found you - the first person to use 16,000 frames in a single document 🙂
    Yeah - best practice to break up your project into different smaller documents whenever possible and stitch them together in your fav video editing application.

    Thank you. I had to split my animation into several MovieClips to fix it. Now I have to consider how long my animation will be before actually start doing it to prevent this.

    You have reached the limit of 16 000 frames per timeline. Not a bug.
