Hi everyone--Frank Here--long time Flash and Animate user

I wasn't using Animate for a while--just updated to 2022

 

Media encoder is not auto opening when I export avide/media file from Animate lke it used to.

 

Now I have to clode Media Encoder--export the media/video file, then open Media Encovder--then it will auto open and convert to an mpg.

 

if I leave media Encovder open--when i go to export video.media in Animate--the "export media" window won't open--I have to clode Media Encovder again--this used to be automatic--can anyone help? thnks--Frank

    Mac or windows? If it's mac, you have to go to your preference and allow adobe animate and media coder to talk to each other. I know its a pain but it is a security thing mac does. I believe it's under security and privacy under automation. It says allow apps below to control other apps.

    I'm on a mac--I cant find "allow apps below to control other apps" under automation--I'm using 10.15.7--only because I have a cintiq- (older model) that wont wotk if I upgrade further--I'll looka round for it--I clicked a few other things to allow adobe animate more access--will see if it works

     

    thanks
