Hi Peter,   Thanks for the video! To get Ctrl+T and Shift+T shortcuts to work, you need to load the EDAPT Shortcuts set first. You must have missed this step in the installation instructions. If you don't want to use them, just hold down Shift when you choose the command from the menu or open the EDAPT Commands panel and use that instead, again holding down Shift. Then Zero Transform should work.   Some general advice: Don't use Groups. Use Drawing Objects instead, or just layer things inside symbols. Groups are bad practice for many reasons and you may not be able to modify them externally with batch commands, such as Find And Replace Strokes.   Hope this helps!   ps . If you have further EDAPT questions, I don't mind answering here, but it may be better to do it in the comments of the EDAP Tools' site.   ... View more

For Zero Transform you need to hold down the Shift key as it is a secondary action. Please, read the documentation and watch the demonstrations. You can also use Find And Replace Strokes to batch adjust line thickness.   If you like, you can record a video of your actions and email us. We're happy to assist and get you going.   ... View more

Glad to know the fades are now fixed. Well done!   I'm puzzled by the motion guided animation not exporting properly. Maybe you can post screenshots of your timeline and export settings? Could you reproduce it in a separate sample file easily? If it is reproducible, upload a FLA to google drive and link it here, so that people can have a look.   ... View more

Animate seems to have been abandoned. These days it seems to work better on Windows, because of the better legacy support there. (For example, Flash 8 is perfectly usable on Windows 10.)   Have a look at this thread to get some idea where things are at present: https://community.adobe.com/t5/animate-discussions/animate-2025/m-p/14914790#M378610   ...

This looks like 1-pixel line anti-aliasing flicker. If those flickering lines are strokes, convert them to fills as fills generally render better.   You can try to export at higher resolution and then scale down in a video editing application which has better pixel interpolation algorithms. Alternatively, avoid using very thin contrasty lines in your designs.   ... View more

If all looks OK in the program and your goal is to get your video out and move on with life, you can try to export a PNG sequence and render that into MP4 in a video application. Details here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/animate-discussions/export-issue-stops-mid-export/m-p/10424361#M192739   Since you are a beginner and know very little about what you are doing, finding the causes of the issue will be difficult.

Shape Tweens are a bit temperamental, but indispensable. Good practice of putting Shape Hints is to go counter clock-wise, starting from top-right. When happy with the Shape Tweened animation, it is best to duplicate the layer/frames and convert to frame-by-frame, just in case. Keep the Shape Tween on a guided layer for potential future edits.   ... View more

There are a few threads here, on the forum, about the GDI status: ^1 error. If you search, you will see them.  One suggested solution is via Windows Task Manager. Several people claim that it has helped them get rid of the error.   I'd be curious to know if the two are related, so, please, if you find out something, update this thread. Thank you!   ...

Thanks for the video!  Now I can see that this is clearly unwanted behaviour, and it looks like a bug, which could be OS-related as I, too, am on Windows 10.   If you want to make sure that the 'preferences' are reset, go to 'config' and delete all its content, while Animate is closed. C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Adobe\Animate 2024\en_US\Configuration   There is also one more place where it stores customization data. Delete that too: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Animate\2024   Start Animate and try again. You can also try Animate 2023 as well, if it is still available in CC. I have no other ideas.   ... View more

It could be an OS-specific bug, but it does not look very likely to me. Could you describe exactly what you are doing to reproduce the behaviour, or do a screen recording and post it here?   ... View more

My guess would be that the scaling of the various body part symbols in your animation is inconsistent. To fix the issue make sure that in a neutral state all elements of your character rig have the same scaling.   ... View more
