From the image you have posted it seems that your project is in the CANVAS format. Change it to AS3. Then you will get all sound export settings which you saw in other threads.

The Movie Template v3d.fla. This will show you how to approach camera work in the future. For your current case, it will be best if the PNG sequence exports well, so that you won't need to re-do anything.

The error-proof way is to nest everything inside a synced graphic container and use that container as a camera. Download this file to see an example how it is done: https://flash-powertools.com/edapt-movie-template-free-download/ Your other option might be to export a PNG sequence and render a video out of that. Datails how to do it can be found here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/animate-discussions/export-issue-stops-mid-export/m-p/10424361#M192739

@Simone2394394099i4 Re-read my post. Then read the thread that I linked. I'm only stating the obvious: If you need to use legacy software, you should do so using either legacy hardware and OS, or a hardware-OS combination with the best possible legacy support. Apple offers none of these. Since you can do nothing to influence Adobe or Apple in their decision-making and policies, your only option seems to be to find what works.

Animate has most likely been abandoned. (Read this thread.) It was never made fully compatible with the latest Apple processors and Operating Systems. As time goes by, expect more and more things to break, esp. on Apple which are notorious for poor legacy features and support. If you need to keep using Flash/Animate, consider a Windows computer. Just as an example: Macromedia Flash 8 still works quite well on contemporary Windows 10 or 11.

1. Animate has the ultra powerful EDAP Tools, which make it comparable to Harmony and Moho. 2. Read this: https://community.adobe.com/t5/animate-discussions/animate-2025/td-p/14914790

Sorry, I assumed you knew - these are different APIs for pen pressure which drawing devices use. You can switch between them via Animate's Preferences: There is also usually a checkbox in the tablet driver which can be set specifically for one program or another. With my Wacoms I prefer to use WinTab.

Set both (all) screens to 100%. Try using WinTab istead of Windows Ink or vice versa. Play with all OS settings related to the cursor.

Movie Clips are only for interactive projects. If your project is not interactive, use Graphic symbols, not Movie Clips. Graphics can be set to Loop, Single Frame and Play Once. You can switch the instance type in the timeline to Graphic, but you need to do this in every single keyframe.

Layer Parenting is buggy. It is designed to work with Classic Tweens. It has even more bugs with Motion Tweens. Do not use Motion Tweens in combination with Layer Parenting.

You're inside a rotated symbol. This bounding box reflects the coordinate system of the container.

Hi again, Debbie, Try these settings: Make sure to check 'Ignore stage color (generate alpha channel)'. I just tested this, but I'm on Windows. PNG sequence is just a sequence of numbered static PNG images which have alpha channel. To render PNG sequence go to File > Export > Export Movie and as a file type choose 'PNG Sequence'. Hope this helps!

@DEBBIE5E3B Hey, Debbie, I have not read the whole thread, but my impression is that you are trying to export your work with an alpha channel and failing, because you export to MP4. MP4 does not support transparency. Instead, use MOV with alpha or a 32-bit PNG sequence. These formats can render footage with transparent background.

You can just re-layer your elements or you can implement Visibility Switches.

One of your files is AS3 and the other one Canvas. They are different file types with different properties. Had you shown full screenshots including the filename, this would have been apparent.

Do you know if gradients count only as the 2 color endpoints...or a ton of colors in-between. A ton of colors, so it's best to avoid or only use small variations of one or two colors, which can comfortably fit into an 8-bit palette.

I use Swivel. It is very good, but old and will not work with SWFs which use the so-called Advanced Layers, introduced in AA 2019+. As long as Camera, Frame Effects, Layer Parenting and so on are not used, Swivel is very reliable and outputs high-quality MP4s.

What kind of keyboard are you using? Maybe the F keys are shared with some multimedia features and you also need to press Fn or set them to work as proper function keys from BIOS or OS preferences.

All facial features should be nested inside the head symbol, which is run as a synced timeline. Lipsync is done internally, inside the head symbol.
