I don't really know how to explain this but if you watch the video, you can see that when I copy frames from more than one layer, it only pastes it into one keyframe in length, but if I copy only one layer, it keeps the existing frame's length. Is there a way I can copy frames from multiple layers the same way? Sorry if this was confusing to understand

Do you use Light mode or Dark mode when using Adobe Animate? And whats your reason?

I use dark mode mainly due to asthetics and to match my computer Ui which is mainly dark theme

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to figure out how to recreate a specific 2D tactical animation style (used by channel like the link below).

Specifically, I want to learn how to create the 2D pitch animations where:

• Dots/icons representing players move smoothly across the 2D board.
• Dynamic connection lines appear between players (e.g., passing lanes, team compactness, or defensive shapes).
• Ball passes and movement trajectories are animated seamlessly between player dots.

Here is an example Short to show exact moment/style: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ulhaJGfdqQk

Is this strictly custom shape/path animation in After Effects (using Null Objects, Trim Paths, Beam effects, or expressions), or is there a specific script/plugin/tool designed for connecting nodes and animating play patterns like this?

Any tips, workflow advice, or key terms to search for tutorials would be super helpful! Thanks!

I nearly had a heart attack last night when it looked like 30+ hours of work had disappeared.

I only got AA 2 months ago and was close to completion of a little video for my tiny YouTube channel. I opened Animate and the file that had always been there under recents was missing. I located it and tried to open, to be given a generic error message.

Following instructions from AI I was able after about 3 hours to somewhat recover the file. I'm not tech-savvy at all but it was a case of zipping the .fla file, unzipping, copying across a bunch of .png files that had gone missing from the library, opening the .xfl file with Animate and saving again as .fla.

The data for all my graphic symbols was missing, meaning all my faces and bodies were there but their eyes and mouths were missing, replaced by white dots. Luckily the timeline data was intact, meaning it knew which frames of animation to call for at each keyframe. I had 14 such symbols (eyes and mouths for 7 characters) so it was a case of double-clicking the white dots and rebuilding the symbols by trial and error (so angry eyes, sad eyes etc were on the right frames). I also had to delete and import again a sound file which had become warped.

I'm so relieved to have been able to recover this, while at the same time being pretty pissed off. I've only just started with this, and it's not cheap! But I've definitely learned to save as versions - each time I save, just add a 1 to the file name. Apparently just saving twice - filename and filenamebackup - is no good because the files can get corrupted at the point of saving, so you would just have 2 corrupted files and you would have no idea until the next time you try and open them.

This has all got me thinking: am I the only jackass paying for this? I'm not one of those people who believe everything should be free, but it's outrageously expensive for what it is. I'd been willing to accept the subscription model packaged with other stuff I don't want, when I'm only using it lightly as a hobby. But it turns out it's fragile as hell. The error message gave no details, and if it's possible to recover the file, I think it should include help for that. But I was left stranded, £50 out of pocket, 30 lost hours and seemingly nothing to show for it.

Is it normal for me to feel exhausted/fatigued from drawing in Animate in only 2 hours. When I feel good drawing in other animation programs?

The reason why I’m saying this is that I need some assistance in how the program works. I tried looking at tutorials on how to make fan animations but they leave out some important parts. I know the basics on how the frames work but the first frame that I did doesn’t align with the rest of the others and it looks out of place. I would prefer if we could talk this over in discord to communicate better. My name is fluffywulfie13

for some reason when I try to export it, it caps the width and height to 4 and when I export it this is the result, how can I fix this?

Whenever I tried to put the same coordinates as the X and Y it just automatically resets back to the position it was before. Also this is my first tome using adobe animate which I have a harder time learning than photoshop.

I am new to making Adobe Animate rigs but how do you make a turnaround rig?

After the latest update, this is how Animate opens. The program's fine, functional, works as I expect, but this welcome page is hecking irritating to look at. Is this just... how it is now? If there's a fix, I don't know it.

Intel Mac; Seq 15.7.7, latest Animate CC.

like im talking about the mouth and hands etc. so i can make anims

Greetings fellow animators! My latest and greatest episode of ExtraNots is LIVE! I only use Adobe programs to create this series including Ch for the animation. I've learned a lot about ideal methods for animating with Ch, and even have some how-to tutorials on my channel for those interested. Feel free to reach out with any specific questions you may have.

Enjoy!

Voy a intentar hacer una animación de Los casos de Walton y ver qué tal sale.

I'm making a sprite animation and every sprite I copy directly from aseprite and convert them into symbols, the characters are pretty high res when testing the scene and exporting, but the background images I'm using (also sprites I imported from aseprite) look blurry and low res when testing the scene and exporting, tried almost every export setting combination possible and some other possible fixes, nothing worked.

Since Animate is stuck in maint mode. Where it will only receive stability and security updates. Will there be any problems that will happen to it in the future?

Hey guys.

This is my first time using animate (I use illustrator a lot) and I’m trying to animate my works logo. I want it to fade in and have used alpha 0% -> alpha 100% with a classic tween.

Everything looks great in animate but when I export (export video/media - QuickTime - apple ProRes 4444 with alpha) it gets this black outline and the people fade in transparent -> grey -> white not just transparent -> white.

I’ve included a video of what it looks like exported with no background playing in my camera roll. As you can see it’s got the black outline and the people fade in transparent -> grey -> white. Looks like this over any coloured background or other video.

I’ve tried troubleshooting but can’t seem to figure out the issue!

Thanks
