I'm pretty new to adobe animate so if someone could help me out that would be great. I set the opacity to some of the layers on my aniation to 50%, but when I preview the animation all the layers are back to 100%. Is there anyway I can prevent this?

Using a filter in a Canvas document is usually a bad idea, because they aren't natively implemented by the browser. Filters are all implemented in JavaScript, so for performance reasons they can't be tweened. They get rendered once and then cached.
