Video export is blurry

When I export a video in adobe animate it gets very blurry. What is the reason for this?

Maybe my settings are wrong? I export the video in H.264, Match source - high bitrate

    Here you can see it.

    The fist is after export and the other one is from animate

    that looks like a bitmap.  if so, you can use the publish settings to increase quality/enable smoothing.

    I have looked at publish settings, but I don't think there is many options. So can you tell me where this setting is?

    It will be interesting to see your screenshot of what it looks like when it is blurry. You should include a screenshot of how it looks before you export to video. If you do a Test Movie, how does that look?

    If you are animating for video, and not for web browser playback, you ought to use an ActionScript 3.0 FLA. That type has extra options that are not in HTML5 Canvas. If you do use an AS3 FLA, you can add this code to frame 1 of the timeline, to make the quality be extremely good. You add this by clicking in a cell in the first frame, and then pasting this into the Actions panel:

    stage.quality = "16x16";

    @Colin Holgate 

     

    i've seen stage.quality = "low","medium","high" and "best" but not "16x16".  do you have a document reference?

     

    (and do you have any reason to think, or evidence to establish, that would impact a video export?)

    The numbered ones were added with Flash Player 11.3. I don't know what High and Best equate to, but suspect that it's 2x and 4x levels of antialiasing. "16x16" is 16x antialiasing, and is ridiculously high. The animation may not even play well as a test movie, but the quality can be seen in the video export. Lines look lovely.
