So I needed to take a break from stuff for a while. Reasons being interest, cost and some health. I can't blame anyone for lack of interest, but I couldn't justify the cost of the license if I wasn't using it, and the increase for discontinuing seemed like a punishment.

I took the break, and decided I would try dev with Animate, but it turns out there are a few caveats. The first was a surprise as you can't render html into video, and second was a general lack of Animate related development. All there seems to be is whatever things C3 updates fit into the scope of Animate which, to be honest is not well defined.

While there is still a lot that can be done with the product I feel that is languishing on the vine, and the I just can't rationalize its cost. For example I thought I might try some light game dev with it, but it turns out I can't even export to the arcade.

Then another is I can't even upload videos to Insta.

So with that I guess its exit time.

Perhaps I might do some stuff with my C2 license while those exports hold out.

You've been a good contributor to the community. Its sad to see you go.

mOOnpunk Thanks. I tried supporting Scirra, and the community as they supported me.

I just don't know what to do anymore.

Sorry to hear it. Good luck with whatever you do instead.

Thanks winkr7, I apricate your support as well.

Good luck, be kind of your self.

clarkgame Thanks.

I noticed with Animate exports if you re-render in OpenShot or KdenLive -> then Insta it works fine. (Not in Premiere Pro though!)

I've found Animate to be an excellent tool in developing "randomized" content, kids videos and animated splash screens. But sometimes quality exports can get tricky to say the least!

Regardless, best of luck with your future endeavors - many of your posts come up over the years and helped out greatly!
