About:
Qtlottie is a command-line utility from the Qt framework that renders Adobe After Effects animations exported via the Bodymovin plugin. It processes JSON files to display vector graphics and motion graphics directly in the terminal or as part of embedded UIs. This tool enables developers to integrate rich, lightweight animations into applications without requiring heavy video files.
Key Features:
  • Renders Bodymovin JSON animation files directly
  • Lightweight and fast execution
  • Integrates with Qt-based applications and environments
  • Supports vector-based animation playback
Use Cases:
  • Embedding animations in terminal-based or embedded applications
  • Prototyping UI motion graphics without video overhead
  • Displaying Lottie animations in headless or server environments
Alternatives:
  • lottie-web – Browser-based rendering; requires a web environment rather than a native CLI
  • rlottie – Lightweight library with similar goals; more focused on embedded systems
