Animate is lagging / freezing when I try to animate on my FULL HD 1080 file

[Brianna5E41]

I have a new mac mini and plenty of storage. When I first created the full hd file it worked fine then the next day when I started scene 2 it started freezing everytime I would switch from outline veiwing to regular veiw and now it freezes everytime I click on anything in animate even the menu bar at the top of my mac. I tried changing the pushlishing settings to level 2, restarting my computer, deleting files, updating Animate, but nothing has worked. At first I thought it was the program then I opened up other fla. files with the 720 preset and they worked fine. I thought about using proxies but I'm not sure if that's possible in animate and if it is, there are no tutorial on it. I thought about changing the presets but I don't know if I did it right. I changed the document settings to the 720 HD stage settings but it still didn't work. Is there anything else I can do?

I also tried working on my 1TB hardrive and that didn't work either

How many assets are in your document? Are they drawn in Animate or imported assets from Photoshop or PNG files?

Just the default assests that come with animate. As for stuff my library I have 10-20 PNG/jpeg files I used as reference layers.
