Blender 5.0 and newer: tested on 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 LTS and 5.3, on Windows, macOS and Linux, with EEVEE and Cycles.

No. Everything runs inside Blender, offline.

From LottieFiles (thousands of free and paid animations), from After Effects with the Bodymovin or LottieFiles plugin, from Figma plugins, or Telegram stickers (.tgs). LottieLift also comes with six sample animations of its own that you can use freely.

Yes. LottieLift is checked against lottie-web, the reference Lottie player, on 946 animations, frame by frame: timing and easing, shapes, gradients, strokes, trims, mattes, masks, text, effects and expressions. Colors blend like After Effects and browsers. In 3D the front still matches the original.

The sidebar lists it under "Not imported" (for example Overlay or Difference blend modes). Everything else is imported.

Yes: every layer is an empty with normal keyframes, every shape a curve, every color a material. Change texts and fonts, colors, timing, depth per layer, and rebuild from the file when the designer sends a new version (your settings stay).

Yes. SVG logos and icons (also animated SVGs) come in as shapes and lift to 3D. A PNG with a see-through background becomes a 3D solid in its own shape.

Yes: pick a Video Size (square, 4:5, 9:16, Full HD, 4K) and Render As (MP4, GIF, transparent GIF, WebM or ProRes with transparency, PNG sequence), then render.

Yes: import all the files together and use Render Each Animation: each animation gets its own file, through its own camera.

Yes: Lift to 3D, then Export 3D Model > STL and set the longest side in millimeters.

Export the animation to Alembic or USD (Cinema 4D, Houdini, Maya, Unreal, Unity), or a single frame to GLB, FBX, OBJ or STL.

Yes. The 3D settings are stored in the file and it shows the same. For render farms, press Bake 3D first.

LottieLift was built and tested on an ordinary laptop. Use Fast Preview while you work (2-3x faster playback), Draft quality for previews, and Bake 3D for heavy animations. The very first 3D preview of a session compiles Blender's shaders, which can take a minute.

LottieLift puts no limits on your renders. Check the license of the Lottie files you import (for example the LottieFiles license for free animations). The included samples and HDRIs are free to use.

Yes, free updates for Blender 5.x through your Superhive library.
