Call for submission: Lottie .json files for web & app animations

Lottie is perfect for Designers, Engineers and Developers to easily add high-quality animations to any web and native apps. Simple micro animations can effect positive emotions in users.

Now, engineers can use exactly what the designer intended, exactly how it was made to greater improve and impact user experience.

Introduced by Airbnb in Feb 2017, Lottie is an iOS, Android and React Native library that renders After Effects animations in real time.

BodyMovin (an open-source AE extension) exports the animation into a JSON file which contains the code necessary for Lottie to render these animations in any native app.

Increasingly popular - Lottie allows engineers to build richer animations without the painstaking need to re-write them.

All animated shapes, layers, expressions, etc. will be transformed into a JSON file that will be interpreted by a JavaScript player (so it can be read everywhere). Engineers need only to choose an area in which to play animations just like any other UI element (such as a button or text area). Once that area is set, playing an animation is just telling it which file to play.

Now, complex animations can be used just as easily as any other image asset - just drop it in where you want it, and let it play.

Start exporting .json files from your After Effects animations

The demand for web animations is set to grow on an unprecedented scale - start preparing your Lottie animations to tap into the growing market now.
