Tell us about your environment:
Browser and Browser Version: Not applicable (issue is within Adobe After Effects)
After Effects Version: Adobe After Effects 2024, running on Apple Silicon (M2) Mac
Bodymovin Plugin Version: Latest version as of 16 sep 2024
What did you do? Please explain the steps you took before you encountered the problem:
I installed the Bodymovin plugin using the standard installation process through After Effects 2024.
Upon launching After Effects, I attempted to access the Bodymovin plugin via Window > Extensions > Bodymovin.
When I opened the Bodymovin panel, the screen was blank and no interface was visible.
I received a message during installation: "Bodymovin plugin installed. You might need to launch your CC app in Intel emulation mode to use this plugin."
I attempted to follow this advice, but the "Open using Rosetta" option is not available when right-clicking the Adobe After Effects 2024 app. However, this option is visible when I check the After Effects Render Engine.
What did you expect to happen?
I expected the Bodymovin interface to load correctly and allow me to export Lottie JSON animations as usual, even on Apple Silicon with After Effects 2024.
What actually happened?
The Bodymovin panel shows a completely blank/gray screen when accessed.
The installation message indicated I should run After Effects in Rosetta mode, but this option is not available for After Effects 2024, only for the Render Engine.
The plugin does not function at all, and I’m unable to export Lottie files.
