Animation Player

Skia now offers a performant, secure native player for JSON animations derived from the Bodymovin plugin for After Effects. It can be used on any platform where you are using Skia, including Android & iOS.

The player aims to build upon the Lottie player widely used for animations today, improving on the performance, feature set, and platform cohesiveness for our clients. We are big fans of the Bodymovin format and where possible, contributing advancements back to Bodymovin/Lottie.

Sample JSON animations

Here are some test samples rendering with Skia's animation player:
