How To EXPORT Animations from Adobe Animate CC to Video Files (mp4)

[@AlexTrusk91]

Watching your tutorials is like learning new spells. Thank you very much

[@ThisGuy]

One of the best comments ever on one of my videos 😂 Glad you like them!

@@ThisGuy I had the same problem, thank you

[@gcfick432]

Thank you so much. It helped me. I would just like to know how do you save a project and then return to finish it later?

[@pinkeshkevat]

When I exported my animation as video is will converted in mp4 but when I play the video then the animations are not working only showing video as a image for 7-8 seconds.

[@Piximator]

Ayo, this was super helpful! The way I was doing this previously was that I would select Export Movie, which would render out every individual frame as an image file, which I would then stitch together using either QuickTime or Final Cut Pro. This was not a very good way to go about things, especially considering any effects created through ActionScript would be completely taken out of the picture. On the other hand, every time I used Export Video/Media, I didn't quite know which settings to use and would always get very bad results. Suffice to say, this helped out a LOT. Thanks!

[@ThisGuy]

Good to hear. Yeah, exporting from Animate has gotten much better over time. Glad I could help. 👍

[@ThisGuy]

Glad i was able to help. Have a good one!

[@RCSXDV]

I would always save in QuickTime too because MOV and QuickTime is lossless. They will always stay in the highest quality of all when exported. And the colors stay accurate.

[@ThisGuy]

Good Point. I mention to use mov as a high quality master, but didn't mention the lossless part and accurate colors.

[@RCSXDV]

@@ThisGuy I understand. I've learned that in other videos and in people's comments. But I'm glad I pointed hat out to you and everyone.

[@sandycanid]

I was hoping this would fix my issue but it didn’t… everytime I export my animation, my shading and other layers that have specific opacities/alpha just get set back to 100%. Every single time. In the animation itself it looks great, it’s only when I export that the layers don’t retain their set opacitys, which is really frustrating as all my shading and overlays are solid gradients or colours with lowered opacities to give a nice effect. I’ve tried turning my animation into a movie clip and it doesn’t change anything, even though one article online said it would work. It’s so frustrating, do you know why it does this? And how to fix it?

[@frinaa]

I have a question. Why every time I tried to export my project, some layers get alpha even though I didn't check mark the "Ignore stage colour" button. Even if I check the button.. it's still doing the alpha thing. It ruins my animation :( Please help

[@ThisGuy]

I had a student that kept experiencing that in class too. We couldn't figure out what was going on either. He had assets that would just disappear, it was weird. I just assumed that it was something (wrong) that he did while creating his assets or maybe he accidently clicked something that moved/altered a keyframe, but I couldn't actually track down the real reason for the error, sorry. If I come across something similar (+the fix) I'll let you know (and/or make a video). Or maybe, somebody else will see this and have an answer...

5:07 That menu didn't pop up. What do I do?

[@DonswatchingtheTube]

Very good. 7:52 Would the original Animate file be the master?

[@ThisGuy]

Sorry. missed this. The master maybe in terms of being able to go back to it at full quality within Animate. But if you want a full quality "exported" master you probably have to export the image frames (like at the start of the video), then bring them into a video editor (or Photoshop) and treat the images like a stop motion project with 24 image frames per second...then export as a lossless file type.

I am having a black screen after exporting the file in MP4, what should I do?

[@ThisGuy]

Seems like people get a whole bunch of messed up scenarios when they export from animate, but I've never experienced a black screen export. With some of my students, we were able to export as an .mov, then import the clip into Premiere Pro and export as an .mp4 from there to eliminate other issues that we had, so you could try something similar...export as .mov and then convert it to .mp4 afterwards using Premiere or Handbrake or something? Maybe that's a "fix" for now. As for why it's Black for you...no idea, sorry.

My video is lagging after exporting . Why can that be?

[@ThisGuy]

Your export settings could be different than your project settings? Did you keep the frame rate, and quality and everything the same as your Animate project when exporting? If so, then your Animate project might have been too large to begin with? Does it lag on other devices? If you upload to KZbin is it still lagging? Because it could also be that your computer can't handle the playback and nothing actually wrong with the file...?
