Layer effects not exporting with animation

One thing I've noticed while trying to export my animations is that the layer effects that I applied to certain layers, like multiply or overlay, are in full effect inside of the program. But when I exported the animation, it somehow defaulted back to normal effect.

I don't know if my publish settings are wrong or I'm missing something, any help would be good!

If you are exporting in SWF, the effect is visible, but then you cannot import it into After Effects. In order for the effects to be seen, you must export as a png or jpg image sequence, whichever is better. Sometimes in video format it can give an error.

I was exporting it as an .mp4 at the default settings.

So, in order for my multiply effect to be seen I have to put it as an PNG image sequence?

That is a workaround yes, but let's see first if we can solve the video problem. The video exporter records the SWF output so what you see rendered (or not) on the SWF should be exactly what you see on video. You can open a SWF preview and test this yourself by pressing Ctrl + Enter.

After looking at your file the multiply effect does render on my end, both on the SWF and on video. Are you using the latest version? If not, what is the version you have installed?
