Objects not rotating

Hi, I'm trying to make gears rotate for a slide. It's a fairly basic animation and it works in the program. Once the project is previewed or exported, however, it fails to animate. Can anyone help?

I give up. I'm just going to try making an animated gif, looping it, and duplicating it. Thanks for trying to help.

I got this to work, but only with two gear. You were correct, it is possible to increase the duration of the effect as was the case in your screenshot. It is not possible to post a video directly here, which is a pity, and don't feel like uploading it to my domain.

    Do you perhaps have a pausing point? Can you post a screenshot of the timeline with the Effect timeline expanded?

    What do you mean by 'It works in the program'? Are you perhaps talking about the Play Slide option, which is not a Preview method? That method ignores all pausing. Have a look at this interactive movies, you'll see how pausing points are interrupting effects.

    Hi, thank you for your help. As you can see, there are no pause points. This effect is supposed to play out for the entire slide. Initially, I made this slide as part of a Responsive project and it worked when exported to preview. When I recreated it in a Blank project, it stopped working.

    Please, can you expand at least one of the Effect timelines as I asked? And its Timing panel? In the screenshot you posted I don't see a pausing point but it is not a complete view, are those all the timelines?

    Are you sure there is no pausing object timed for the rest of the project in a previous slide?

    Which Preview method did you use? All Preiew methods in a responsive project are based on a temporary HTML output. However for a normal, non-responsive project, to see HTML output you need to use Preview HTML in Browser method. All the other Preview are pased on a temporary Flash output.
