When I export, scenes play at once

[gcrad]

I am exporting my video which has many scenes in it.  When I go to play it, it do, all the audio in scenes play at the same time.  So it quickly goes from one scene to the next and you can hear the sound from each scene.  What am I doing wrong?

[kglad]

do you have more than 16,000 frames in all the scenes totaled?

[gcrad]

No, in there are seven scenes and in total there are 187 frames.  Approx 25 frames per scene.  could it be that its to short?

[kglad]

what's your framerate and do your sounds last more than 1 or 2 seconds?

[gcrad]

I didn't realize my frame rate is quick- between 1-2 seconds.  This is the first video I've done so its a big learning curve for me.  So if I extend the frame rate, would that help?

[kglad]

your fla's fps is what?

your sound's durations are what?

[gcrad]

each layer has the same timeframe (I made them all equal).  I do not know how to check the fla. 

[kglad]

open the properties panel

click the backstage

what's the fps in the panel?

[gcrad]

Thank you for explaining.  It appears 30 fps

[kglad]

so your fla is going to play through all the scenes in about 6 seconds.

do you know how to test your fla?

[gcrad]

No I do not.  I starting using Adobe Animate with no animation experience.  So I have been learning as I go with tutorials, videos etc.  Basically when something new comes up, I then try to figure it out through research This one has been hard to get information on. Should I be extending the fps in each scene?

[kglad]

control > test movie.

you expect all your sounds to start playing in ~ 6 seconds.

[gcrad]

thank you for taking the time to help me. yes I did just run the test movie (before I had run test and it came up different.  The sounds are definitely running over each other. Is there a way to fix that? the first scene has music and that continues to run through 4 scenes

[kglad]

what do you want to happen?

[gcrad]

I would like it to play like a movie- move from one scene to the next.  So scene 1- has titles and a music overlay;that stops and moves to scene 2- a little action and then voice over; that stops and scene 3 starts, action and voice over once it ends it then moves to scene 4 etc....

Now I can hear the music from scene one while watching scenes 2 and 3. 

i would like smooth play.  What can I do to fix this/?

[kglad]

the easiest thing for you to do is to extend each scenes timelime to the desired length.

[gcrad]

Thank you for your guidance trying this now

[kglad]

sure.  keep this updated.

[gcrad]

Thank you for your replies, that helped.  Unfortuatley the program crashed the next day and I lost everything.  Had to start from the beginning  - but the second time is going smoother so far

[kglad]

ouch. but learn:

save your fla frequently with increasing version number appended.  periodically close and reopen the latest version.  if that's successful you can safely delete previous versions.
