Video export: Only the first frame?

Hello Animates, I'm a beginner and had no problems with my first animation. The video test was running without problems, but after exporting as Video via Media Encoder, the mp4 contained only the first frame (like a single image). What did I wrong?

A feature that was in Flash Pro and Animate for many versions, disappeared for a bit, and then came back in a recent update. If you are exporting video for a given amount of time, rather than a given number of frames, any ActionScript in the timeline will be followed. If you have stop(); in frame 1, the export will stay on that frame.
