Why we like it

A focused single-file add-on that stays inside Blender, from VSE timeline to validated Lottie JSON, with a browser preview at the end of export.

What is Blender Vse To Lottie Json Exporter?

Blender VSE to Lottie JSON Exporter takes animations from Blender's Video Sequence Editor and outputs them as Lottie JSON files. Images are Base64-encoded directly into the JSON, producing a single self-contained file. The add-on requires no external tools or dependencies.

During export, the add-on renders each frame, builds the Lottie JSON, and optimizes it by rounding floats and stripping unused keys such as markers, characters, and fonts. Muted timeline strips are skipped automatically, so only active, visible content is exported. You can choose PNG, JPEG, or WEBP output, and scale the resolution down at export time to 100%, 75%, or 50% without changing your scene settings.

After export, the animation opens in a browser preview with a validation panel showing size, resolution, FPS, duration, and status. Built-in validation checks for missing keys, zero-length animations, invalid FPS, and file size thresholds. Per-channel export lets each VSE channel become its own Lottie file. The add-on supports Blender 4.4 and later.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does the VSE to Lottie JSON Exporter support?

Blender VSE to Lottie JSON Exporter supports Blender 4.4 and later. On the 4.4 to 4.x range, single export, per-channel export, and browser preview are all supported. On Blender 5.x, single export and preview are supported, but per-channel export falls back to single due to VSE API changes, described as a Blender-side constraint that may be resolved in a future update.

How do I install the VSE to Lottie JSON Exporter in Blender?

After installation, switch to the Video Editing workspace and set up your strips in the VSE timeline. The exporter panel is found in the Sidebar, opened with N, under the VSE to Lottie tab, where you configure your options before exporting.

Does the VSE to Lottie JSON Exporter need external tools or dependencies?

What image formats and resolutions can the exporter output?

Blender VSE to Lottie JSON Exporter offers three image formats: PNG for lossless, sharp graphics with the largest files; JPEG for compressed, balanced output suited to photographic content; and WEBP for the smallest files, aimed at web delivery. Resolution can be scaled at export time to 100% for full fidelity, 75% for balanced output, or 50% for the lightest file, all without changing your scene settings.
