Hi there, I need to smooth my images in Animate... the latest version doesn`t have the option "smoothing" anymore...

Now my images all look blurred or pixelated... where can I smooth them?

Thanks:)

Hi.

 

I can confirm this is a bug in Animate 2020.

 

By now, the workaround is to select more than one bitmap and then open up the Bitmap Properties dialog window. In this way you're gonna be able to change the smoothing and compression settings.

JC

how do your images look in Photoshop? how do they look when you bring them in? I am not seeing that smooth option either in the NEW Animate. Maybe its a bug.

 

Are you scaling your image? Smoothing is usually used when scaling your images, otherwise they should look the same when you export. if not you can check your Publish settings, if all images are set t0 8 bit that might be degrading them?

Hi mate,

 

Where do you think the option was removed from?

 

I can clearly see it in the latest An 20.0:

 

Select your bitmaps in the Library, choose Properties and smoothing is where it has always been.

Hi there, thanks for your answer, but as you can see on my screenshot (its in german, sorry) there is no option for smoothing anymore... actually... there is no option at all... see what I am talking about? Thats so strange, right?

Hi again, mate,

 

To trouble shoot, create some shape in AA 20.0, right click on it and convert it to a bitmap.

Select it in the Library and check its properties.

If the option is still missing, you may try to reinstall.

 

I can see an endless path in the blurred image. Try to import something that is closer to where your FLA is.
