    Exactly the same problem here. Doesn't work importing or copy/pasting.

    If it appears as red is because the gradient style is not supported. Animate can only import linear or radial gradients. You're going to have to recreate the gradient in Animate or import as bitmap.

    did you upgrade to 23.0.1 that was supposed to fix that bug.

    Freeform gradients are not supported because Animate has no such feature.

    Try either a linear or a radial gradient.

    Have to say, this is still a really clunky animation tool. Is adobe Animate on the way out? Feels like it's so behind other Adobe Products
