This brought me back to me Flow, since I had last used to them they had improved a lot, they had launched a full Lottie exporter and I can see they are slowly designing a piece of software that will help me hand off certain types of graphics to developers like Animations, or more specially Lottie and Animated PNG’s. I’m used to designing with movement in mind. So the logical next step was pick up something to help me create animated illustrations, since Micro Interaction had tough me the basics of movement x, y, scale etc etc. So slowly both of these ideas were coming together, illustration and movement. The end result of this was my Oodle Finance project. You can see the need, you just need to find a method to getting it out of your head. This is the great thing because of being a Designer. So I few projects ago I picked up my pencil and started seeing if I could solve my own problem. In another string to my brow kinda project as mentioned above Im often either in need for an illustrator or asking for one. I had a hunch that this software might be able to help me out one day… so a got a licence and kinda for got about it. Seeming generic name without a clear focus, at first I thought it was an other prototyping program but in fact they seemed like something more interesting. Since I design mainly in Sketch and then designing in motion with ProtoPie or what ever the flavour of the year is i stumbled across a small piece of software called Flow. Two kinda different skills but both seem to have over lap with animation. That being Micro Interactions and Illustrations. This is what brought me to combine two of skills i’ve been pursuing for a while. You can find a vast collection of animated icons by Eddy Gabb and Salih, ready to be used directly in your project.Being focused on User Experience Design and an interest in current and emerging technology cupeled with keen desire to create beautiful and functional interfaces general means Im constantly exploring either tech, trying out new software or reading about sociology. Moreover, a new interaction trigger event is available, specifically for these animations: “Lottie Animation end.” You also have the option to Play, Pause and Stop Lottie animation in interactions you set up in different UI components. You’ll get a dropdown menu with actions to be executed “On Tap.”
If you want the vector animation itself to be interactive, you can drag the interaction wizard and drop it on the animation itself. Autoplay and Loop are initially checked so that you can preview the animation in Player. You can also set relevant properties from the beginning through the Inspector (Autoplay, Loop, and Animation Playback Speed). You can control your animations to start/stop and pause/resume whenever you like.
You can change the animation source file by choosing one from our icon library or by uploading your own files in Asset Manager.Īlternatively, you can just drag and drop an animation file (JSON format) onto your Proto.io canvas, and an AE Lottie animation UI component will be added. Once you drag an AE Lottie animation UI component to your canvas, you see this where you can preview the animation by clicking on the Play button (bottom-right):ĪE Lottie animation components have these new properties: Furthermore, Proto.io has a new Vector animation Icons library for your convenience.
#Lottie to protopie download#
You can use Adobe After Effects animations exported as JSON files with the Bodymovin plugin or check out the animations available to download from the online community LottieFiles. At the moment, Proto.io lets you use animation files in JSON format. You can now include vector animations in your prototypes using our AE Lottie Animation UI component that can be found in the Basic Components Library.
