Hi,

Using Adobe Animate, installed the lottie plugin using ZXP installer.

I created the simplest of animations: one layer, a rectangle with a classic tween that rotates it once per loop.

When I use the lottie plugin to create a .json … the result is almost blank. There is a small flash of something on the last frame.

Is there something that needs to be done in Adobe Animate to ‘prep’ the stage for the lottie plugin?

Same here. Same problem. It simple doesn’t work and the support is not helpful at all. Unfortunately.

Same question has been repeated multiple times over the last 12 months in various posts and comments across this site. The ones I’ve seen remain unanswered.

Has anybody found an answer? It doesn’t seem to like exporting symbol animations. Is there a way to do that?

August 2023 and still not working… why providing the plugin if it doesn’t work ?
