A Framer module that renders Lottie animations (After Effects JSON files) using Airbnb's lottie-web library.
Lottie for Framer is a module that allows Framer users to embed and control Lottie animations—exported from Adobe After Effects as JSON files—directly in their prototypes. It solves the problem of integrating complex, vector-based animations into interactive design workflows without relying on video or GIFs, ensuring smooth, scalable animations. By wrapping lottie-web functionality into a Framer Layer, it provides a native-like experience for animation playback and manipulation.
Designers and developers using Framer for prototyping who need to incorporate high-quality, code-driven animations from After Effects into their interactive projects.
It offers a seamless bridge between After Effects and Framer, enabling real-time control over Lottie animations with Framer's scripting capabilities, unlike static assets or limited built-in tools. Its tight integration with lottie-web ensures reliable rendering and performance, making it a go-to for motion-rich prototypes.

Directly integrates After Effects animations as JSON into Framer, enabling high-fidelity vector animations without relying on videos or GIFs, as highlighted in the README's use of Lottie-web.
Offers methods like play(), pause(), and goToAndStop() for precise animation manipulation, allowing designers to trigger actions interactively within prototypes.
Wraps animations in a Framer Layer, providing access to all layer properties and methods for seamless positioning and styling within the Framer environment.
Supports options like autoplay, looping, speed, and direction control via initialization, making it easy to tailor animations to specific prototyping needs without extra code.
Requires manual download and inclusion of lottie.min.js, adding setup complexity and potential versioning issues that aren't automated, as noted in the installation steps.
Only supports animations exported from After Effects as JSON, excluding other formats like GIF or SVG, which restricts flexibility if teams use different animation tools.
The README is brief and lacks advanced examples or troubleshooting guidance, making it challenging for users to debug issues or implement complex interactions.
