Lottie Files stuck on rendering

I'm trying to render an animation with the Lottie plug-in but its stuck forever.

 

My comp only contains shape layers and a pre-comb filled with shape layers. No expressions are used, only keyframes. I do however use 2 alpha mattes but it is supported according to the Lottie supported Features Page.

 

I've un- and re-installed the plug-in with no succes.

Correct answer Mylenium

Pre-comps and effects like path wiggle will cause rasterization and so may your mattes. It's simply rendering the whole thing as an image sequence and whatever benefits you were hoping to gain by creating vector-based animations are gone.

It indeed was the Apha matte causing the problem, thank you. Sadly I do not know how to animate flowing liquid within an object without using alpha matte.  Not sure why Lottie says it supportes Alpha Mattes https://lottiefiles.com/supported-features
