Hi. when I try to export png sequence of my animation it only exports the frame that I'm currently on for the entire sequence. for example... if I export 130 frames it will export 130 png images that are all the same. any suggestions?

    Hi.

    If your animation is in the main timeline, go to File > Export > Export Movie... > PNG sequence. But make sure your timeline is extended. Make sure it has more than one frame. Because in some cases the animation can be contained inside of a Movie Clip, but when there is an animation inside of a Movie Clip, only the first frame will be exported.

    You can also right click a single Movie Clip and choose to export a PNG sequence from its frames, if its timeline has more than one frame.

    Alternatively, you can go to File > Export > Export Video..., check "Convert in Adobe Media Encoder" and then, when the video opens up in Adobe Media Encoder, create a PNG sequence from there. This method has the advantage that exported videos record everything that happens on the stage, even if it was caused by ActionScript.

    Quick update... after doing some testing i figured out that it just wasn't picking up the camera movements. after i deleted the camera layer it exported the PNGs fine. is this normal?
