Overview of this book

Lottie is a small and scalable JSON-based animation file. LottieFiles is the platform where Lottie animations can be uploaded, tested, and shared. By combining the LottieFiles plugin and the LottieFiles platform, you’ll be able to create stunning animations that are easy to integrate in any device. You’ll also see how to use the Bodymovin plugin in After Effects to export your animation to a JSON file. The book starts by giving you an overview of Lottie and LottieFiles. As you keep reading, you’ll understand the entire Lottie ecosystem and get hands-on with classic 2D animation principles. You’ll also get a step-by-step guided tour to ideate, sketch for storytelling, design an icon that will fulfill the needs and expectations of users based on UX, and finally animate it in Adobe After Effects. This will help you get familiar with the After Effects environment, work with vector shape layers, create and modify keyframes using layer properties, explore path and mask features, and adjust timing easily to create professional-looking animations. By the end of this animation book, you’ll be able to create and export your own Lottie animations using After Effects and implement them in mobile apps using React Native. You’ll also have an understanding of 2D animation best practices and principles that you can apply in your own projects.

We've learned how to create an animation from scratch to finally export it and hand it off to the dev team, covering the whole UX animation workflow. We've also seen how to download and install all the necessary tools, extensions, and plugins we need to get our animation done.

We've checked the list of what can or cannot be done in AE when creating animations for Lottie so that our work is going to be previewed properly. We've gone through a list of shortcuts to speed up our work and, finally, you've ended up with my list of resources, which I hope will inspire you and give you enough resources to create your animations.

Now, let's jump to the third part of this book, Adding Your Lottie Animations Into Mobile Apps, where we will learn how to implement our animation into a mobile app and web with React Native...
