Glow effect and looping animation issue

[jserra85]

Foremost, this is a great solution, thanks for your development efforts and support!

I'm having an issue with portions of the animation not appearing or rendering properly, consistent behavior appears across all browsers. Initially the ring will glow in and it slides to the right, but the loop appears to be a very long duration before the ring fades in again.

Additionally, the colors in the animation aren't appearing either.

Ideally I'd like to include this in a cordova application, but I've stripped the demo down to a single .html file with the bare essentials in hopes that you may be able to tell me if the animations/transformations I'm attempting to animate aren't supported yet or if there is an issue in how the file is being exported.

Attached you will find the After Effects file, the data.json and the demo.html file. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
unfortunately the glow effect is not yet supported.
Right now, the only supported effects are fill, tint, and stroke to some extent.
Tritone and Levels are coming
I'll check this weekend if I can get somewhere with glow or at least support a subset of it.

@bodymovin Just checking in on this issue to see if any progress was made? We are working on a couple of projects over here that would make this an incredibly beneficial feature! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help 👍

[bodymovin]

Which glow are you using from AE?
The layer style or the Glow effect?
Also, which properties from them are you using?

[jacksontaylor13]

@bodymovin We are currently using Layer Styles > Outer Glow. The properties being edited are Spread, Size, Opacity, Range, and Color. Let me know if you need any other info.

Is there another way that you feel we could accomplish a similar effect with what bodymovin currently has?

[bodymovin]

I can try to support it partially, but svg filters have a terrible performance on firefox, so it's probably not going to work if you're doing some expensive animation with it

[jacksontaylor13]

@bodymovin That would be excellent! Right now it is a very basic outlining animation so shouldn't be too expensive. Thanks so much!

@bodymovin Am trying to add outline stroke for my pre-comp animation using
Layer > Layer Styles > Stroke which I realized is not yet supported.
This feature would help me in my project immensely.
Thanks for this awesome tool.

[bodymovin]

@vikram-kumar stroke as a Layer Style is not supported. It has a huge performance impact to implement it and it doesn't make sense to include it.

Hi, many thanks for this extension. Is there any chance that the Outer Glow effect will be supported at some point?

[bodymovin]

@Alexandros-Paraschou hi, not for now. But maybe at some point it will
