I have created a short movie that contains an instance of a movie clip. I can text the movie and everything is there but when I try to export to video (.mov), the movie clip is missing. What am I missing? Thanks for any advice. I haven't used this application for a long time

Correct answer Colin Holgate

What Nick says about making it be a graphic really just applies to exporting an image sequence. For exporting a video everything that worked in a Test Movie should appear in the exported MOV. One possibility is that you're using HTML5 Canvas, and so that's testing the scene in a browser, whereas export to video involves creating a SWF. If you're animating for video export you are better off using AS3 documents. You get to use more filters, and the SWF used in Test Movie and export video are identical.

Hi Colin,

I'm wondering if you could provide a little more insight to similar issue I'm having. I have an AS3 document with a movieclip on the main timeline. When I test movie the movieclip plays perfectly. When I export to video to create an .mov file (with AME) it doesn't play the movieclip. I've seen a couple people recommend changing movie clip to graphic as the other poster mentioned but that didn't work. Any advice? I've done a lot of work inside the movie clip and copying the layers on the main timeline distorts the size and placement on the stage, with a bunch of motion tweens in the movieclip it's not working to resize and/or reposition. the only alternative I see is redoing it. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

I worked on it with sound turned down. Hearing Bach might have confused the others in the lounge.

Anything I do to the sound seems to come through in the video export.

Funny, the first version I created seemed to have some issues with the sound continuing to play. I must not have coded the stop. I do hear a delay still but I'll just adjust the frames. It may be because I am using AME to export to decrease the final file size. Exporting straight from animate to .mov the short animations I create (10-60 seconds) are huge and they need to be under 60mb or smaller. So unless you have any suggestions for making the file size smaller in animate I'll just adjust the frames to match the output.

Thanks so much!
