Animate Video/Media Export only black screen

Hello

When trying to export an Animate File (ActionScript 3 configuration) as a video (=>export =>video), the result is always a video with a black screen.

I tried several video formats like:

- H.264/Default (AME)

- H.264/YouTube 480p SD

I also tried a complex project files vs a very simple project.

I deinstalled and reinstalled Animate (23.0) and Media Encoder (23.0).  I'm working on macOS Big Sur 11.6.8.

Always the same frustrating result: a video with a black screen.

The only thing I can export, is a SWF (=>export =>movie).

Unfortunately, these two old threads don't help:

    Open Media Encoder and change the renderer to software encoding:

      Thanks a lot, Mario_CR! That did solve the problem.

      I'm not sure if that means that my hardware is too old or if there is a software problem?

      I'm working on a quite old MacBook Pro (Retina, 15', 2014), 2.5 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB
      Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB.

      Could be, gpu acceleration is hardware based, many of these older cards are no longer supported by Nvidia. It's worth a shot to look for driver updates for the GT750M just to make sure you have the latest version installed. If not, software rendering should be enough to get you by.

        open the as3 fla in animate and then export your video.

        That is what I described in my initial post. When I open the fla in Animate and export (=>export =>video) a .mov file is sent to Media Encoder. After Media Encoder converted the .mov from Animate, the result is a .mp4 with only a black screen.

        And when I try to convert the SWF to a MP4 it doesn't work: "Invalid data found when processing input. The input file may be corrupted."
