Hi mate, Difficult to tell why, but mu suggestion is to get rid of the scenes - it's considered bad practice to use scenes. Copy/paste the frames layers in first scene and hopefully all will export fine. If you don't want to do this you may try to export a PNG sequence and render video out of that. Here is a topic with a lot of details. Export issue - stops mid-export Best NT ... View more

Hello mate, I don't use the camera so I can't confirm the specifics, but if you have finished work and all you want to do is get your stuff out to video, just export PNG sequence and render video out of that in Premiere or similar, so that you don't have to worry about the SWF to MOV to MP4. Here is a topic where I posted details about how to do this. Export issue - stops mid-export Hope this helps! ... View more

Maybe try to nest your SVG inside a symbol and see if in there you can distribute the objects to layers and then break them apart to raw vector. That should let Animate refresh its 'awareness' of all the shapes and local coordinates. ... View more

Hi Paul, Certainly. You just export a PNG sequence with alpha channel (32-bit) and then import and overlay in Premiere. If you need the video footage in Animate as underlay to guide you when animating the characters you can do this too. Different versions of Animate import different type of video so you may need to transcode to FLV or MP4, but that's pretty much it. Also with the latest AnCC 19.2 you can export SWF files that should play well with AfterEffects. So all in all - some tests will be needed until you set up your workflow, but things should work quite well. Hope this helps NT ... View more

Sure. *​Better use 24-bit PNG sequence than JPG sequenece. PNGs are lossless. You start a new project; the sequence settings should match those of your FLA document - resolution and frame rate. When you right-click on the sequence (or from the Sequence menu) you can adjust these. Here are some settings for a project that I work on. So fill in your fps and stage size here; always square pixels and no fields. Then you choose Import from the File menu and point to your images, choose the check box Image Sequence at the bottom and click on the first image, press Open. Right-click on your imported footage and choose Modify > Interpret Footage... In the dialog, make sure the speed per image is the same as your sequence: This ensures that all will be frame-perfect in the timeline. Drag your sequence to the Timeline, right-click on it and make sure that 'frame sampling' is selected. Save your file. Later you can delete the content and use it as a template. Now you can export. File > Export > Media... Choose H.264, fps and resolution that match your project. Good luck! ... View more

Hi mate, Sorry to be the one who will break the bad news, but no one who produces serious animation uses these tweens. Since you're just starting it may be worthwhile spending some time with them to see how useless they are... Only meaningful tweens are Classic and Shape tweens. Since we're on the topic... The other useless feature are the bones. Take my word for it or spend some time to find out for yourself. Best! NT ... View more

Hi mate, I will only say that I have seen others report most of what you have listed here, so you are not alone. "First frame bug" I believe has been documented, reported and confirmed; probably many of the others too. I have not seen anyone give any workarounds other than "Avoid using Advanced Layers" or the camera. My personal advice is use CS6 in AS2 document and avoid using any of the new features as they are all potentially problematic for serious production and full of all kinds of hidden surprises. This is what I do, because of necessity... Good luck! NT ... View more

Hi AMULI, From your description I gather that the first two images are one shot (zoom out), but then the third image is a second shot. You zoom out, but then you cut to shot 2 with the whole bird gliding right to left. During this cut you can introduce a different version of the eagle. (Please, correct me if this is not the case.) How does the jerkiness of the tween manifest itself? What kind of path are you using for the eagle? How many frames do you have between the keys? How is your file set up? I don't think that the jerkiness is produced by the complexity of the vector, unless you're talking about playback issues. I suppose your eagle is inside a Graphic container. Just guide all its layers and draw a temp box in there (to appear instead of the eagle) to see if this simplification will deliver a smoother tween. If not, things to consider are the positions of Registration Points, resolution of the whole scene and scaling of the 'jerky' symbol. Eliminate all rotation from transformations and see if that improves it. Small rotation tweened over many frames rarely works well (due to lack of resolution). When I do this kind of shots, I pan the background, while moving the bird smoothly, often using a motion guide to get good arcs. If none of this helps, you may have to supply the part of the file for review. Good luck! NT ... View more

Hi mate, 1. Close Animate. 2. Find your config folder: Win C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Adobe\Animate CC\YourVersion\YourLocale\Configuration (Check 'show hidden objects' in folder view if AppData is not visible) Mac HD\Users\YourUserName\Library\Application\Support\Adobe\Animate\CC\YourVersion\YourLocale\Configuration 3. In config find the folder called Tools. In it find the file called toolConfig.xml Make a backup of it before you modify. 4. Open it in a plain text editor and do whatever changes you need to do. (The file is quite simple and you will figure out how to shuffle things around very easily.) 5. Save toolConfig.xml 6. Open Animate and you will see your changes. If not happy, close Animate and repeat. Hope this helps! NT ... View more
