Edit an existing animation

Import your own artwork or animation and change only the parts you name.

You can bring in an animation or artwork you already have and ask the AI to change only the parts you name.

Supported files

Other image formats: Only PNG images are supported. Convert JPG, WebP, or other images to PNG before you attach them.

About fonts in imported text: If the file includes the letter shapes (glyph outlines), the text keeps its look. If not, provide the fonts it uses. Otherwise, the text uses the built-in font.

Steps

  1. Share your file with the AI (attach it, or paste SVG or Lottie JSON as text).

  2. Import it and check it. For example:

    Import this Lottie JSON as a new animation called onboarding. Describe the compositions and name the main elements. Show a filmstrip and tell me whether anything was omitted during import.

  3. Ask for a specific change. For example:

    In onboarding, keep the scene and timing. Change the background to navy and make the named accent shapes teal. Show a new filmstrip before exporting.

  4. Review and export when it looks right. See Export and save your animation.

Tips

  • Make sure the AI can read your file. Attaching a file to a chat doesn't always let the AI's tools read it. Ask the AI to confirm the file was loaded. If it can't read it, use an app with file access, or paste SVG or Lottie JSON as text.
  • Check import warnings. Some features, such as expressions and repeaters, are not supported and may be left out. Ask the AI to recreate any missing shapes or motion.
  • SVG gradients and Lottie export. SVG gradients often come in with their own transform, which Lottie export doesn't allow. If you need a Lottie file, ask the AI to check Lottie compatibility right after the import.
  • Name what to keep. Say clearly which parts must stay the same.

You can also load a Lottie file from your LottieFiles workspace.
