Lottie Creator 2.0 - After Effects for the web, built on Lottie
by•
Yes, we're calling it: After Effects for the web. Design vector animations from scratch in your browser, move faster with Motion Copilot AI, wire up interactivity with State Machines, and export production-ready Lottie + dotLottie. No desktop app. No dev handoff.

First off, congratulations to the team on Lottie Creator 2.0! It’s been a milestone we’ve all been counting down to.
For me personally, my favorite features are Motion Tokens and State Machines. Interactive and responsive animation is just so fascinating to me, and being able to build that with the power of dotLottie still blows my mind.
As a non-designer, getting started was definitely a learning experience. But once I got the hang of a few tricks, everything started to click and the logic became more clear. I can't wait to see what everyone creates! 😊

@lubleep I'm with you! Apart from its web-based nature (so I don't have to jump between tools or install heavy software) and the super helpful Motion Copilot, Motion Tokens stole my attention the most. They make editing and scaling the use of animations a lot smoother and structured. Congratulations Creator 2.0 team!
What I love about Motion Copilot is that it gets me past the hardest part, which is starting. I feed it a rough idea, it gives me something to react to, and from there I just keep refining until it feels right.

@serhiii Thank you for this, Serhii! Let us know if you've got any more feedback, we'd love to make it easier to get started in Creator.
One thing I really like about Creator 2.0 is that everything happens directly in the browser. There is nothing to install, and I do not have to keep switching between different tools just to try something out. I can open it, start working, and see how an idea feels almost immediately.
That small difference makes the whole process feel much more approachable. I am more willing to experiment, make quick changes, and test different motion ideas because there is less setup getting in the way. It feels easier to stay focused on the work itself instead of thinking about the tools around it.

Love hearing this @wenjieshen !
Creator also saves your work automatically, so you can always come back and pick up where you left off. Keep exploring, and please share any feedback or ideas with us!
Motion Copilot has become part of my daily workflow. I use it almost every day to kickstart ideas and explore new concepts. Excited to see more people give it a try!

@haleeza_hadzis1 Thank you for this comment and all your support, Haleeza!
@haleeza_hadzis1 I agree! It’s exciting to finally see Creator 2.0 live. Looking forward to hearing what the community thinks and seeing what everyone creates with it.

I have spent a lot of time with LottieFiles Creator over the years, so seeing it out in the world feels really special. It has been a rewarding journey helping shape a tool built for motion designers. I hope it helps you create faster, experiment more, and enjoy the process as much as i have.
I've been using it for the past few months and I'm so proud of what the team has built here. I love the Physics Editor: makes confetti animations so fast and easy. Also Motion Presets and Easing Curves really help companies build their definitive Motion System, which enables a whole new level of consistency and speed on teams.
But without a doubt, my favorite part is still Motion Copilot. Watching an idea turn into an animation in seconds with a simple prompt never gets old. Feels like absolute magic.

@webjac Thank you so much for the comment Jaime, we really appreciate your support! We hope to continue building on that magical feeling.
Congrats to everyone who shipped this 🎉
Motion Copilot is getting most of the attention today, and fairly so, but the update I'd point people to is the Graph Editor. Easing is where an animation either feels right or feels slightly off, and that's usually the part that sends you back to desktop software. Having real curve control in a browser tab is what makes Creator 2.0 feel like a tool you can finish work in, not just start it.

Hey product hunters, so stoked to see what you’ll be creating with Creator!
Been experimenting a lot with the Motion Copilot myself. As someone without motion design experience, being able to quickly animate and iterate ideas has been really fun. Can’t wait to see how it fares in the hands of everyone else, whether you’re a seasoned motion designer, a complete beginner or somewhere in between!
@leemjenli This is amazing work. I will definitely play more!
Having been on Creator since the early builds, seeing 2.0 go live is pretty surreal. I spent most of this cycle on the performance side, and that's meant obsessing over a ton of under-the-hood details. That's making sure everything from State Machines and the new Graph Editor to Motion Copilot feels insanely smooth, stable, and ready for real production work. It honestly feels like a completely different product now.
The part I'm actually waiting on is what everyone does with it, as that's always the best bit of a launch. Thanks to everyone who reported the rough edges and kept telling us what was missing. A lot of 2.0 is your feedback.

@kadeer Thank you for this comment, Abdul, fully agreed! A lot of 2.0 and onwards will be feedback from this very same community.
It's been great working on Creator 2.0. I'm not an animator myself, and honestly Motion Copilot is what finally let me make animations I couldn't before. A lot of this release came from feedback and comments we received, from small fixes to State Machines and the new Graph Editor. Still plenty on our list. Can't wait to see what the community builds. 🚀
