We wanted to create some animations for our site https://resonancy.io, and I’ve built them using lottielab. I must say, they have done an amazing job to create a decent editor which really works with svgs, by far better than any online tool I’ve used before. Smooth experience overall. Then comes export.
Not sure if this is only a problem with lottielab or the lottie format, but if not using their proprietary minimizing hosting the animations are so big that I consider them useless for a landing page. Their compression reduces the size by 400% on average for larger animations. We ended up paying $30 subscription just to host the animations which does not sit right with me. So will be looking for alternatives but not looking forward to recreating them..
In the past I’ve used other react based animation libs and they chore of building animations was so tedious I would not attempt anything complicated. With lottlielab you can really play and build what you can imagine with relative ease.
Have not tried Rive.. Will check it out.
Any suggestions on how to better compress lottie format for libs for that would be appreciated.
