Primary Keyphrase: lottie json exporter

Description:
Download Bodymovin v5.12.1, the essential After Effects extension that exports high-quality animations to Lottie JSON format for web, iOS, and Android platforms. This powerful tool bridges the gap between professional motion design and development by converting your After Effects compositions into lightweight, scalable animations that render natively across all devices.

An After Effects extension to export Lottie animations. Animations are exported by default as .json files that use the lottie.js player that comes along with the plugin. You can render animations in the browser on svg, canvas and html. It supports a subset of After Effects features. Animations can also be played natively on iOS and Android using Lottie

Bodymovin works seamlessly with the Lottie player to deliver smooth, interactive animations without the bulk of traditional video formats. Animations are exported as .json files that use the included lottie.js player, supporting rendering in browsers on SVG, canvas, and HTML. Animations can also play natively on iOS and Android through Lottie.
