Question

Symbols shrink when parented

Hi, I'm trying to work on my film, and last night I closed the file with no issues whatsoever, and when I came back this morning it's riddled with glitches. The symbols for the character rig are shrinking, but only when parented. I tried separating them and they no longer shrunk. Also, when I scrub through the timeline on one rig, the canvas becomes skewed and deformed. I also got black bars on screen when scrubbing, but I was able to get rid of them by copying and pasting my frames into a new symbol (tedious, but it worked). I've had so many issues with Animate and my film in general I feel like it's cursed. If anyone has a solution to the shrinking parenting issue please let me know. I've attached some examples of the glitches.

What version of Animate are you using?

We did stress-testing a few weeks ago and thought that the matrix degradation was fixed in AA22.0.5.

But maybe it is still present with motion tweens?

 

Also, you may consider moving to SMR and using classic tweens.

Both will increase the chances to complete your film sucessfully.

I'm on AA22.0.5. I might move to classic tweens, that's a good idea. Thank you for the tips, I'll try them out!
