I can’t resolve the issues with masks in After Effects.
Everything is playing as it should in After Effects, but when I preview or export the Lottie, the masks aren’t there.
I can’t figure it out. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Are you using shape/vector layers or pixel layers?
If pixel layers is what your comp is you have to export the image sequence and import it into a fresh comp, then export with the include assets options on inside the configuration menu.
Try with export guides on as well.
I hope it works
Hi, I’m having the same problem. Masks are rendering in ae, but are not present in Lottie preview. I’m not fully understanding the solution above. I looked everywhere for a solution for this and still haven’t found anything that works. Does anyone know how to make masks work in ae/Lottie?
Having the same issue. It worked 2 weeks ago when I tried with a different comp.
I ended up making a pre-comp and masking in the comp and that fixed it. Not sure why it matters where the mask is, but it worked!
What I do is create shape layers on top of each illustrator layer and then alpha mask to the shape layer. I’ve also been playing with animating paths on the shape layers to fine-tune my masks.
Try @natelubeck method this work even while previewing and after exporting and implementing. I use this method only. But do not apply “Luma” matte, it does not work.
Only alpha mattes and alpha inverted mattes are supported right now
Have you worked with track mattes often? Have you worked with alpha inverted track mattes?
Hey there, I see that alpha mattes and inverted mattes are supported for most but not all situations.
Do you usually just use Alpha Mattes or Alpha Inverted Mattes anyways? thanks!
This is good to be aware of. Although it’s worth mentioning that alpha inverted mattes do have a display issue rendering on the LottieFiles iOS app. Even though they are supported for iOS. I can confirm it’s a bug on the iOS app and that alpha inverted mattes do indeed work on iOS
Something I encountered was that I was not exporting hidden layers. Of course my mask was hidden, so after enabling export hidden layers it worked.
