Question

Exporting html 5 with bitmap images from Bodymovin plugin

I've created some Lottie banner animations in After Effects (bodymovin), and I can view the HTML file in Adobe Dreamweaver. I can see the vector animation just fine. but I can't see the included bitmap .png files.
I can see the .png content when I load the .json on the Lottie test site, but I can't see it in Dreamweaver.
I've tried different combinations of exporting the .png images in the .json file and having them in a separate folder but can't get it working.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You have to stick with vectors. Can't turn pixels into code with any AE to HTLM plugin.

Rick, thanks for the quick reply. I'm a little confused by your statement. I've been able to embed bitmap images into .json code and view as a lottie (.json) file.

These have worked on other ad networks, but I'm having issues with Terminus not recognizing the code. I thought if I can get it working with Dreamweaver, it will work on the network.
