After Effects Elements > Hype

I have been experimenting with finding a way to export After Effects shape layer animations so that I can use them in Hype.

Here is the workflow I have found so far but I’m not too familiar with scripting so I would appreciate some help here:

Animate shape layers in After Effects >
Export HTML through the bodymovin plugin for After Effects >
Copy HTML to an HTML widget

I have figured out how to make the background transparent and how to turn off looping and autoplay but I would love to have more control on when the animation starts and stops on the timeline. Let me know if anyone has any experience with this. Thanks!

An example of your Hype project would greatly assist in accurately answering your question - or at least in providing guidance.
