Integrating Lottie animations in Webflow

In this video, I demonstrate how to integrate Lottie animations into your Webflow projects. 

Lottie animations are versatile and can enhance your website's interactivity and user experience. I walk through the process of downloading animations, adding them to Webflow, and setting up interactions for a seamless user experience. By the end of this video, you will have learned how to incorporate Lottie animations into your Webflow projects. I guide you through finding and selecting animations from LottieFiles.com, uploading them to Webflow, and configuring the interactions. You will see how to control the animation’s playback, such as looping and triggering actions based on user interactions with the navigation bar. This lesson will enhance your ability to create dynamic and visually appealing websites.
