Export to video crashes Animate

[Samoleg]

Well...  Adobe Animate 2018 was fine. Almost everything worked! But happiness can't  last forever. Here comes Adobe Animate 2019 with new unexplored set of adventurous bugs!!!  And first and most important (at least at Mac OS) - crashes on "Export to Video"!  And not only export to video!   Export Movie also (is case you've thought  you can avoid this problem by rendering image sequence) No! It freezes  half way rendering video file ... an also freese on exporting to image sequence!  No way to render your old movies!  Hundreds of dollars lost in my case. Opps... Adobe did it again! And you know what else is charming? Adobe let old versions of software on your hard drive, just in case.. But not Animate! Ta-Da! You've got a jackpot!

Seriously- is there any way to downgrade back to Adobe Animate 2018?

Yes i have the same problem. Adobe pls deliver a link to the Version before the update. I am really angry about this.

I agree that  2019 is not so good but I still have 2018 on my harddrive. If you open the CC app and navigate to Animate you can click the little arrow next to Open and select manage> versions

No, I've got no older versions. But thanks to you, I've really managed to found possibility to install older versions under this arrow. Thanks a lot!!!!

Cheers and good luck! It still doesn't answer the reason for the crashes though... If you export an old file, do you save it under a new name as a 2019 version first?

Sure I do. And I want  also to add one more solution to that problem I've figured out recently to this problem for people that may have it-
Just break the FLA file into smaller parts,  2-3 parts and export works fine. It's just a big file problem!
