@adamplouff Would love your help whenever you have some time!

The ideal way to troubleshoot this is to import one asset at a time. Some offending problems can be layer names with special characters, or weird things that AEUX doesn’t like and it stops/fails and quits before it adds it to AE.

First make a frame and make sure AEUX will export a rectangle, and also try it with an image.

Then move back to your core frame you showed and start sending over one asset at a time and see if it works or causes things to break. This will help narrow down the problem and also assist the devs in fixing that problem.

I thought the figma v 0.8.1-b was me not doing the installation properly, turns out its not just from my end. Will really love if this gets fixed ASAP.

I am experiencing the same problem. I tried it on the latest versions of Mac & Windows, even reinstalled After Effects with no positive ending.

@adamplouff it would be fantastic if you could have a look at what's going on. Thank you 🙏

I uninstalled a previous version of Ae (2020) and it seems to be working fine now. Images still come into Ae in oversized and text (line height esp) still breaks.
