Browser converter from GIF, MP4 or still SVG to Lottie, no After Effects
Emerged finds new products worth a look, daily — what’s new today
Motion graphics is the last thing a small studio still rents Adobe for, and this one speaks Lottie in and out rather than locking work in a private format.
EffectCraft is the ArtCraft team's compositor, written in Rust and at v0.8.0, with compositions, keyframes, layer styles, expressions, 3D cameras and lights, 306 effects and a render queue. It imports and exports Lottie and needs no FFmpeg. Builds are signed on macOS, with MSI on Windows, AppImage, Flatpak, deb and rpm on Linux, plus a WebAssembly build. It is candidly alpha: After Effects projects and plug-ins will not open, renders have never been diffed against After Effects, and drag-and-drop fails on Wayland. Its own estimate is 45 per cent of the way to replacing After Effects.
