Adobe Fresco Motion exports at a very low quality, no matter the canvas size

So here's an issue I've found with Adobe Fresco's animation/motion features. I've been animating on canvases that are always at least 1080 x 1920 (HD), and this gif was animated on a 2160 x 3840 px canvas, 266 dpi (though that doesn't really matter since this is a digital file and not to print). However, every time I go to export it, it decides to export at 576 x 1024 px. This doesn't change even as I raise canvas size, up the fps, nothing I find is allowing me to export at a higher setting.

Obviously this is less than ideal, since now any animation I export looks blurry to some degree and the only other way I can get it back up to high quality would be to export the png's seperately and edit them myself (which, I will be doing at this point).

Does anyone else have this problem, and is there a fix?

Note: I'm drawing on an 12.9 in Ipad Pro, newest ios with an apple pencil. Fresco version is 3.7.5 and up to date. The exported gif is at 12fps but I tried upping it to 24 and the same file size issue occurs.

This is still an issue in 2024. 😞

My canvas size is 2880 x 1080 to accommodate a wide screen banner for my website but a GIF or MP4 will not export any larger than 1024 x 384. Even the PNG sequence resizes the image down, which honestly baffles me.

I'm amazed this doesn't have a fix yet- here's what I've figured out tho by some trial and error.

If you go to export it as a gif, it'll automatically compress it down (still unsure why -_- ). But, if you switch it to mp4, *back out of the export screen*, and then go back into it, it'll be able to export the mp4 as the canvas size. It's something with the gif setting in particular.

In the newest update of fresco it'll allow you to export a certain number of loops of your animation when you choose an mp4. Once you have that video, you could go through adobe express (which honestly I don't like the site but the gif maker works) or another online gif editor, or if you have your own video editing software.

I know it's a work around but it's the best I've figured out for now! Gotta love adobe...

Hey, thanks for this reply. I tried your suggestion out and while it doesn't export at full resolution, the MP4 is much closer to what I need. Now to stitch this back into a GIF I guess?

Weirdly enough - I also tried this with the Export to Frames option and it did actually export them at the full resolution of 2880x1080, even though the Fresco UI listed the export resolution with the incorrect size. 🤔 🤔

Same here, I recently finished an animation that I wanted to post. Gif version was blurry, but mp4 was fine. However, I need the Gif version so it repeats. Adobe Fresco needs to fix this, it shouldn't change the file size or make it blurry. It ruins the animation.
