Serious Brush bug with Latest AnimateCC Update

New Here ,
Mar 30, 2017 Mar 30, 2017

Copy link to clipboard

Copied

Newest update for AnimateCC has pretty much broken it for me.

Whenever using the brush tool at any size and any smoothing, after about 2-3 minutes a new window pops up saying 'Animate is processing strokes, Please wait'. System hangs after that and I need to restart the program.

Is there any way to roll back? This is a massive problem and I have deadlines this friday and I can't get any work done.

If you all could send Mohan a private message it would be easier for him to send a few people the information than to track down your contact email address. Use Message on the right of this page:

The moderator has a beta file which is very good. I would just like to say that the older versions of Flash/Animate had a way of sometimes corrupting your .fla irrecoverably if they crashed. I started out with Flash 6 and have used every version. This one is the best. When you install the beta version you have to import your prefs like keyboard shortcuts yourself, unlike the retail CC releases. This beta will fix your problem.

Hi there, Having the same issue!

Win 10, 64bit. Latest CC Animate build.

wacom cintiq 13hd (not a surface)

Also a couple of questions for you:

1. Is this not enough of an issue to roll out a legit update for everyone? Why do we need to PM you for this?


2. I don't work at Adobe so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but what was wrong with the way the smoothing was working before? As far as I could tell the lag between drawing the curve and it becoming smooth was almost non existant - I use Animate on a Mac and a PC daily and I havent felt like it was a problem. Was it a problem on other systems?

3. If the lag was an issue, why was the solution making a pop-up window appear every time "smoothing" was taking place? How is that supposed to improve workflow? Every time I draw a line for longer than 1/2 a second and switch to an eraser to clean it up - "Animate is smoothing, hold up a sec" progress bar appears in the middle of the screen. Its jarring, distracting, and annoying - and it happens every 5-10 seconds.

tl;dr - How is adding an annoying pop-up supposed to help with drawing lag?

Noticed this problem happening to me on OS Sierra.  Switched off the NVIDIA web driver to the OS X Default Graphics driver and haven't been able to recreate the problem so far.  There is still a lag between quick strokes, which is annoying for sketching purposes.

One of the things that would provoke the problem was if you had H.264 video in the timeline. I image that it would be affected by which video driver you are using.

Wasn't any video in my timeline.  Was just going through a blank canvas sketching really fast, creating blank keys and the problem kept popping up.  Did the same method with the Default Driver, and wasn't able to recreate it.  I've been having issues with the NVIDIA drivers and adobe for awhile now.  Past updates would just freeze my computer when running Animate.  The latest one seems to just cause this "processing stroke" bug.  Working on an iMac late 2012.

Hi Mohan.

The latest update didn't resolve the issue for me. Im still getting the pop-up and its still very distracting.

This is running Win 10 64-bit on a fairly new rig with good power.

I was using an older build of animate on a much older mac the other day and did not have any issues im experiencing on my PC.

Again, the problem for me is not that it takes a second to smooth out the line, but that the pop up appears every time, messing up the workflow and being incredibly annoying. Is it not possible to disable just the pop up, and have the smoothing process happen quietly?

I just checked for updates using the gear icon and it says all up to date. There is still a good 1 second lag in between drawing strokes that it takes to smooth out the line and the pop up appears. It makes drawing in flash much more of a hassle, and this is my main vector art program.

Im using a Mobile Studio Pro 16in i7.
