Hi, very new to using Animate and I have created a very simple 4second animation using a symbol and motion tween over a stationary background layer. The animation works perfectly in Test Movie but not from the main timeline and not after export to MP4.
Any tips appreciated? I just want to export this small animation screen to video media so that I can add it into Adobe Rush with my main footage.

Cheers
