Updated this review as the developer has fixed any crashing or other errors in the app and the QuickLook extension. Thank you! Great app for locally reviewing and testing Lottie files. Keeping my previous feature request here: Please let me preview Lottie files with sidecar images (in an "images" folder next to the JSON) as well as image-embedded JSON Lottie files. This is the standard way After Effects Bodymovin exports out Lotties and also a standard way for delivery for websites.

Hello,Thank you for your feedback. We have identified the issue with the latest lottie player and reverted back to the previews version to stop the crashes. The fix will be available in version 1.4.5.As for Images to load, we will consider the feature and add in the upcoming release.Thank you.

If files have the same name, the cached file that has been deleted will be played instead of the latest file.

Video Export Buggy

The Lottie files play perfectly fine when uploaded and previewed, but the video export has parts of the Lottie animation just disappear and animate out of order. Really hoping this gets improved as it would be a wonderful alternative to having to use after effects just to create a video.

A recent update, not sure when, seems to have removed the ability to export to a video.This was helpful if you needed to share the animation with colleagues that don’t have a Lottie previewer. Not worth keeping installed. Going to delete once I find a replacement.

Fixes Quick Look previews so Lottie and dotLottie animations play and loop correctly in Finder, and improves thumbnail rendering for .lottie files.
