Trouble with a virtual camera

I've been having trouble with exporting my animation, in earlier exports, the virtual camera (not the adobe animate built-in one) worked fine, but after animating some more, the camera refuses to work when exporting. I find it a little weird because the cam layer is still there, and it seems pretty much untouched. Maybe i messed up something ? I am using Swivel in order to export it (hence why i'm using a virtual camera instead).

    If not using the native camera - can you link to what you are using? I’d imagine anything non-native is going to make it more difficult to get people with experience commenting here but a direct reference may help.

    I don’t remember exactly where i found them, but i’ve been using cameras named “DWJ_Vcams”. There are three cameras in the files but i believe i’ve been using VCAM_AS2_CS3.fla linked below. 

    Also, i think i figured part of the problem, it seems Swivel refuses to include the camera in the video export when any alpha filtered keyframe is present. While i can simply delete them to restore the camera, i can’t do the fade-in i was planning to do without alpha keyframes.

    Thank you for taking the time to reply to me!
