Adding segments to your Lottie animation is incredibly beneficial, particularly for developers and designers who demand requires control over their projects. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of adding segments into your Lottie animation using Lottie Creator, enhancing your ability to create dynamic and interactive motion design content.
What is a segment?
Segments are used to define and play specific parts of your animation. By labeling specific areas of your animation, it allows you to manipulate parts of your animation independently from the rest. This feature is incredibly useful for fine-tuning animations without affecting the entire sequence.
For developers, segments offer a significant advantage by allowing for enhanced interactivity within a single animation, rather than requiring multiple individual animations for each interactive element. This allows you to choose which part to play easily within that one animation. Developers can easily reference segment names and implement them within an app or website using the Lottie/dotLottie player. This streamlined approach not only saves time but also simplifies the integration process.
