LottieFiles for After Effects earns its spot at rank 18 in the adobe_exchange library by pairing Lottie export with a compatibility checker, real-time preview, and asset management in a single panel.
LottieFiles for After Effects is built for motion designers who need to export animations to the Lottie format. It imports SVG or Lottie JSON files as After Effects compositions through copy-paste or insert, and exports them as Lottie JSON or optimized dotLottie to reduce file size without losing quality.
Beyond export, the panel includes a Lottie Feature Checker that verifies animation compatibility across web, Android, and iOS, plus a Motion System for defining centralized motion primitives such as easing curves, animation presets, colours, and brand assets. Real-time preview renders your animation while you edit using ThorVG or Lottie Web, and bulk render handles multiple Lottie animations at once.
For collaboration, it offers one-click upload with shareable links, digital asset management that stores AEP projects alongside exported animations in a shared workspace, access to a library of over 800,000 animations, and publishing to the LottieFiles community. The plugin requires script permissions for file writing and network access.
