How to render set amount of frames from stage

So for right now, I've been going to File -> Export -> Export Movie

I don't see an option to choose my beginning and end frames to export. I'm trying to export frames of individual characters with transparency, the context of my project is for a video game. In this case I'm trying to make each frame the same dimensions as the full screen size of the game to simplify character placement in the frame. I'm animating these characters within their intended environment, almost like a screenshot, so like this:

Even when I try to export from a symbol in the library instead of the stage, I still can't seem to choose my beginning and end frames to export.

Please let me know if there are solutions to this. Thank you for your time!

Hi.

I think you have two options:

1- Save a copy, trim the frames by selecting them and deleting them and exporting to video (this option, I know, isn't really the best approach);

2- Use File > Export > Export Video... and set a total time.

Both cases are still not what you want, but you can after all this trim your video using Adobe Media Encoder or any other editing tool.

But a tool to trim the timeline like After Effects does, I don't think Animate CC has something similar other than manually destroying the frames.

I hope I'm wrong.

Ideally, we'd have the ability to simply set markers in the timeline that span only the area we want for export. Premiere Pro offers this as does After Effects and many audio editing applications. Animate CC should have it. A good one for me to mention to the team.
