Top 17 after-effect Open-Source Projects

• Lottie for Android, iOS, and React Native

  43 34,637 8.3 Java

  Render After Effects animations natively on Android and iOS, Web, and React Native

  

Project mention: Animotion – a visual CSS animation app | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-25

Worth mentioning that After Effects can export CSS/SVG/canvas animations with the free bodymovin/Lottie plugin. This is my personal go to for creating web key frame animations and elements.

Not every after effects feature is exportable, but it’s the best and most reliable solution I’ve found for this type of workflow, maybe due in part though to my previous experience with AE.

Further research led me to LottieFiles (not sponsored) — a haven for animation enthusiasts offering a myriad of free animations, including a variety of confetti animations ready to be used. To integrate these animations in a React Native app, the lottie-react-native library comes in handy.
