Video Exporting Error

For some reason, when I try to export my animation, it keeps giving me "unkown error; closing animate" and if I try to export it with the publish button in the corner, it stops at 60% and never goes up!

 

I looked at other posts and somehow the methods of theirs, such as removing the audio or changing the file type failed! The file is 33.3 Megabytes and is about 1 - 2 minutes long.

 

Now I have tried using some websites that convert swf to mp4 but they don't work either.

I seriously don't know the issue to this and need some help.

    Try File > Export > Export Movie... and choose PNG Sequence.

    Then render the PNGs into a video using a video editing application.

    Can you generate a SWF by pressing Ctrl+ Enter?

    Any issues there? Does the SWF plays in full?

    No need for websites. Usually export issues originate on the SWF, since Animate records from it for video.

     

    If you can generate a swf then the video rendering should work with no problems.
