Hey everyone,
I’ve been experimenting with short motion graphics created in the capcut app and I’m trying to bring some of those animations into a lottie workflow for web use.
The issue I’m running into is that when I export animations from capcut and try converting them into a lottie-compatible format, certain effects don’t translate properly. Things like blur, masking, and layered transitions either disappear or behave differently once rendered as JSON.
I’m wondering if this is because capcut uses effects that aren’t fully supported by lottie, or if I’m missing a recommended conversion workflow. Has anyone here successfully taken animations from video-editing apps and optimized them for lottie without rebuilding everything from scratch?
Would really appreciate any advice or best practices, especially around keeping animations lightweight and compatible for web use. Thanks!
