MainTimeline Compiler Errors; rendered videos are often mangled .

I've been working on an animation that uses no interactive components, but recently I came across a frustrating issue where I would receive pairs of errors involving the MainTimeline when rendering videos. The videos would finish compiling, but they were guaranteed to be completely screwed up and not match the editor at all. Given that it says it's an issue with the Timeline, I checked through it to see where the problem was, but couldn't find any solutions there.

Right-clicking on the errors gives the option to "Go To Source" to debug it, however clicking it does nothing.

 

This may very well be an issue stemming from me having to use different versions of Animate across my main PC (using the latest Adobe Animate 2022) and two school computers (that are stranded on Adobe Animate 2020, presumably due to IT standards.)

 

Any solutions would be great. A scene from the video that gets mangled is included as an attachment. The video uses the Camera tool and Layer Depths and exclusively uses Classic Tweens instead of the Shape or Motion Tweens.

Alright.


That was an interesting challenge. Somewhere in the file you have added a description of:

""There's a world out there to enjoy, so enjoy it!"

Stay tuned, will ya? Other videos lay in the pipeline.
"

No doubt in its normal form the text has a lot of special characters in it. The special characters appear to not be handled well by the Flash Player code. Removing that description fixes the problem. If you know where it is that you added that description, go in there and make the description have less special characters.

Here is what I exported, after removing that text from the project:

do you see those errors when testing in animate?

 

do you have any code in your fla?

There is no code in the FLA file, and I said before (probably worded it wrong), testing it within Animate shows it working just fine.
