[Free] Lottie Creator Course: Interactive Motion Design
Build responsive animations with state machines & motion tokens — and export them production-ready for web and apps
What you’ll learn
- Create polished motion graphics using shape tools, keyframes, mattes, duplicators, and AI-powered tools like Prompt to Vector and Motion Copilot.
- Design responsive animations that react to real user interactions like clicks and hover, without writing a single line of code.
- Create and manage multiple animation themes using named variables for colors, scale, opacity, and text to create data-driven animation, all inside one file.
- Package interactive animations as dotLottie files and deliver them to developers with embedded state machine logic and motion tokens ready for production.
- Leverage tools like Prompt to State Machine, Physics Simulator, and Motion Presets to build complex animations faster and smarter.
Requirements
- LottieFiles Account – A free LottieFiles account is required. Sign up at Lottiefiles to get started.
- Basic Design Knowledge – Familiarity with design tools like After Effects is helpful but not required.
- No Coding Experience Needed – This course is fully no-code. Everything is built inside Lottie Creator.
- A Curious & Creative Mindset – Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned designer, all you need is the drive to bring motion to life.
Description
Hi there! We’re the LottieFiles team, and we’re excited to show you how to bring motion design to life using Lottie Creator.
Design animations that actually respond to users
This course goes beyond traditional timeline animation. You’ll learn how to create interactive motion experiences — animations that react to clicks, hovers, and real user behavior — all inside Lottie Creator, with zero code required.
What you’ll build
You’ll create two fully animated projects from scratch: a logo animation and an app-ready UI component. Then you’ll turn them into interactive animations using state machines, make them scalable with motion tokens, and package everything for developer handoff.
AI-powered tools for faster workflows
Along the way, you’ll use AI-powered features like Prompt to Vector, Motion Copilot, and Prompt to State Machine to dramatically speed up your process — without sacrificing creative control.
From design to production
By the end of this course, you’ll know how to export dotLottie files with embedded state machine logic and motion tokens — giving developers everything they need, baked right into the file.
