Hello! I’ve been having trouble when trying to preview my lottie animation. I followed all the steps from installing the Bodymovin plug-in and setting up my After Effects preferences, but still my animation doesn’t work…
Just to give you some context, in After Effects I set up the file with a RGB + Alpha because I want a transparent background (I don’t know if that could be the problem)
These are the issues that I’m having:
When I drag and drop the lottie file into the canvas it doesn’t appear, it only shows the “Lottie Animation” label
I’m having the same problem, but only for certain files. In my example, 2 of the lottie animation made in AfterEffects via Bodymovin plugin worked, but one of them is invisible, and the preview shoes them as place holder icons. Please see screenshot.
Nevermind, I figured it out. If I used illustrator layers in AfterEffects, it will not render correctly for Lottie. I just created vector shape layers from the illustrator files and it exported fine.
hi vincent, i have a problem with my lottie file not playing but in after effects it plays. Can i please send you the aep file to take a look at what i am doing wrong ? I would really appreciate this
This is happened to me too, weird solution:
I opened another project I duplicated from someone using Lottie animations to learn from it, and there it worked out just being dragged. Then I copied it directly from there and pasted it in my project, and suddenly there it was. Hope it helps!
