Manual vs. AI: Building Lottie State Machines ⚡️
Can AI actually build complex interactivity faster than a human? In this video, we’re putting the LottieFiles Creator to the test.

I’m breaking down the process of building a State Machine from scratch and then comparing it head-to-head with the new AI Prompt-to-State Machine tool. Whether you're a motion designer looking to speed up your workflow or a developer curious about the future of Lottie, this 5-minute deep dive has you covered.

What we cover:

The Manual Build: Setting up logic and transitions in the Creator.

The AI Workflow: Testing the "Prompt to State Machine" capabilities.
