How to Export the frames as an Image Sequence

[DylanGramarye]

Hi, i wanted to export my animation as an image sequence but didn't get any clear indicator whether you could or not. I want to export an image sequence to put into clip studio. Is there a way to export an image sequence and if so, how do you do it?

you can export an animated gif: file>export>animate gif

In File > Export > Export Movie you can choose PNG sequence as the format.

Hi, I tried that and it just downloaded the same image over and over again

what's on the main stage?  if it's a movieclip, that's problem. convert it to a graphic symbol and allocate enough main timeline frames so you can see (when testing) all of what you want to export.

Funnily, I was answering at the same time, but took longer because I tested the export to make sure what we both said was right!

well, then you get credit. i didn't test.  i just figured...

If the thing that is animating in the timeline is a MovieClip, export PNG sequence will repeat the first frame. Changing the MovieClip to Graphic will then export the different frames.
