Render Wave Warp on Bodymovin

Hello!

I've been using bodymovin to render animation as HTML5 and although so far it has worked well, on one animation that has a simple wave warp effect I've noticed that it has not rendered this specific setting. Even if I select 'advanced export settings>include non supported properties' when rendering it does not seem to work. Does anybody have an idea of why it does this? Are there specific effects which are not supported on bodymovin??

PS: BTW I've been rendering animations as simple demo HTML5.

Please let me know!

Your file size is going to jump significantly. If you need that kind of warping do the project in Adobe Animate. It is specifically designed to create animations for the web. After Effects is a video app that can be kind of, sort of adapted to creating animations driven by code but the limitations are severe.

Hi Rick, thank you for your advice. Are there any tutorials on using the wave warp effect in Adobe Animate? Sorry for replying after three years just had the same problem and don't know how to do this in Animate

Effects generally will only render when you export PNG sequences with Lottie/ Bodymovin. If you really want it to be included, pre-render the effect, reimport the footage and replace the usage in the comp.
