Looping sequence not exporting to video in Animate CC

Hi all,

I'm trying to export videos for review that incorporate the looping sequence set in the timeline, but it's only exporting the second loop.

The sequence is set to loop once, then restart, and finish at the second loop. The code for it is

if (!this.looped) this.looped = 1;

if (this.looped++ == 2) this.stop();

When using the Export Video option, the output file is not exporting the first loop, just the second. Is there a way to incorporate the whole sequence of the video?

Sorry that nobody replied already.

The code driven export video feature is specific to AS3, and won't work in HTML5 Canvas. Your code should work as AS3, so you could use File/Convert to... to make your animation be an ActionScript 3.0 FLA, and then uncomment your code (it gets commented out as part of the convert process), and do the export video from that FLA.

Eek.

That's a bit too much work - we are currently just screen recording the output using SnagIt, which is much faster than these steps. Thank you for replying though!

That's horrifying.

This output is for review by stakeholders. Since we use an online approval tool that allows comments directly within a video's timeline, we found that more efficient than sending zips to people and asking for feedback verbally/over email.

So if output of a video currently means posting half of the video that isn't an accurate representation of the final output, screen capping is the best solution. Unless you have a better one - I'm happy to hear it if so.
