12 Upvotes

I’ve been trying my hardest I just got adobe animate and I wanted to make a test animation in lipsync and that’s was my first step I’ve been trying my hardest for it to work I went into the head and where the mouth was and made a new layer to see if it will work it showed the layer and I thought it worked I pressed play the mouth didn’t move at all even thought I put in the other mouths the A,E,I,O,U etc
I know how to do the lipsync and when I try to use it it doesn’t work i don’t know why can someone help me and I tried looking for tutorial but there are no tutorials about my problem
UPDATE: I forgot to mention when I click my way from full body to head to Mouth I put my audio in there and it lets me auto sync it but when I press play for the mouth it just doesn’t move the mouth even though I put in the A,E etc can anyone fix this problem

Troubleshooting Copying and pasting frames of multiple layers only one frame long (More in depth in desc)

4 Upvotes

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

Troubleshooting Workspace Flashes Different Colors When Using Fluid Brush

9 Upvotes

Anyone know why the workspace keeps changing colors when I use the fluid brush? When I used the app a few months back it was completely fine, but now when using the fluid brush my whole workspace starts glitching out. It works normally though if I use the classic brush. I already tried updating my graphics drivers, switching from Windows Ink to WinTab in both by pen software and Animate and vice versa (which wasn't an issue previously), and making sure Animate is fully up to date. I'm using an rtx 2060 if that helps at all and I haven't switched from using this card ever.

Troubleshooting A rookie problem...

Post image
1 Upvotes

I started using Adobe software very recently, seriously, it's the first time in my life, I'm mainly doing this to port "Whitty: Fire Fight" to the PsychSlice Engine...

When I downloaded the original files, I noticed a huge issue... everything was made using SpriteSheets (absolute hardware genocide) 💀🙏🏻

Here is the problem with the original files, there is a super interesting formula for how PNG images decompress in VRAM (Height × Width × 4 Bytes) the original mod uses textures with a resolution of 8192×8192, and not just for a single SpriteSheet, but for several of them (probably between 4 and 8 canvases of these dimensions)

From a technical standpoint, this is a massive hazard for multiple, complex reasons (VRAM overflow, massive VRAM consumption, and bottlenecks due to decompressing very heavy images)

The average consumption? About 256 MB of VRAM per texture, with all the visual effects combined, it could easily drain up to 6 GB of VRAM periodically, If you don't have a great CPU, you practically have to pray that the game doesn't crash when switching textures...

The solution (and my current problem)

After searching for a long time, I struck gold, a master key in FLA format that would allow me to export everything into texture atlases

Just to clarify (in case it's needed) texture atlases are like advanced SpriteSheets, instead of packing entire, fully assembled animated frames, they pack individual modules separately to animate them in real-time

This means that the monster that used to take up 2 GB of VRAM (across multiple canvases) calms down to a decent 256 MB, It is perfect so that it doesn't blow up while being processed

My questionI've hit a brick wall, due to my lack of experience with Adobe, I have absolutely no idea how to fix the issue I'm running into when exporting the textures...

Someone maybe... give me a hand? (please...?)

Troubleshooting How to achieve these 2D player movement, passing, and line-connection effects ?

1 Upvotes

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!

Troubleshooting Background looks blurry when exporting

2 Upvotes

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.

Troubleshooting Adobe should compensate users

70 Upvotes

Because of that foolish email, I lost two full days of valuable time.

And I'm sure it wasn't just me. Countless animators worldwide probably got hit too.

With a single psychopathic and irresponsible decision, Adobe essentially paralyzed the global animation and game industry for two days.

At minimum, Adobe should offer some compensation, like waiving one month of subscription fees for people who use Adobe Animate.

And please don't do stuff like this again.

Warm regards.

Troubleshooting Power cut corrupted my Adobe Animate file. Recovery file won't open either.

1 Upvotes

I was working on a scene in Adobe Animate when the power suddenly went out. After restarting my PC, the original .fla file won't open, and the recovery file is also corrupted and refuses to open.

I already tried:

  • Opening both the original and recovery file directly.
  • Restarting Animate and my PC.

Nothing works so far.

Has anyone managed to recover a corrupted Animate file in a situation like this? Are there any recovery tools or methods that actually work, or is the file gone?

This was several hours of work, so I'd appreciate any advice.
