I tried it in 2020 After Effects and 2021 and it is not activating when I load the plugin and I am getting the same blank Plugin Window. On a Mac by the way. ---

Lottie team have asked me to either upgrade AE from 2018 to 2019 or downgrade LF from 1.0.0 to 0.1.20 … but I couldn’t find the previous version LF 0.1.20 … the file name downloaded from [Free Lottie Animation Files, Tools & Plugins - LottieFiles](https://lottiefiles.com/plugins/after-effects/get-started), is ae-plugin-0.1.20.zxp but when I install it through the extension manager, it shows LF 1.0.0 … if anybody got the real LF 0.1.20 version file, zxp, with you, then please share … for the time being, am using bodymovin plugin and truth to be told, it has some benefits as well … for my current project I had to render more than 50 comps and with bodymovin, I can render all in one click, while in Lottie plugin I had to render each comp individually, which was pretty hectic … apart from that, lottie is great with preview and other settings until it stopped working … ---

the issue has been fixed for me … just installed **LF 0.1.20** version and its working fine … the Lottie team helped … they emailed the older version … ---

Not sure if this is the same link but try this one, Lottie sent this to me: > **[Free Lottie Animation Files, Tools & Plugins - LottieFiles](https://t.co/In90Vwnl7h?amp=1)** > > The world’s largest online platform for the world’s smallest animation format for designers, developers, and more. Access Lottie animation tools and plugins for Android, iOS, and Web. Also, I always keep a version of BodyMovin installed which lets you export JSON and Lotties when the Lottie plugin breaks. ---

Thank you! New to animation. If I have BodyMovin installed I would not necessarily need the Lottie Extension as well to export .json files? ---

I find that the Lottie Plugin is slightly better and it can upload directly to the website for me and I can ensure it’s more compatible. I just keep both since it doesn’t change anything for me to have them both installed. ---
