How to Make Interactive Animations without Coding - Lottie State Machines & After Effects

LottieFiles’ new State Machine feature is changing the way we create animations. Instead of static, one-way motion, your animations can now respond to user interactions—clicks, hovers, scrolls, and taps—making them truly interactive. In this video, I’ll show you how State Machines work, why they’re such a game-changer for designers and developers, and how you can use them to build engaging, code-free interactive experiences. Whether you’re a motion designer, UI/UX designer, or web developer, this walkthrough will help you unlock the creative power of interactive Lottie animations. 🔗 Try it on LottieFiles: https://www.creator.lottiefiles.com 🎨 Get Free Interactive Animations: https://lottiefiles.com/mographhero ... 📺Watch Next: Advanced Interactive State Machines Animation Breakdown: https://youtu.be/j0jEk48GTVI ... 🌐Connect with me for a Lottie Animation Project: My website/blog: https://www.dayooyinlola.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dayooyinlola Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oladayooa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oladayooa TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dayooyinlola Cheers! ✌ ⌚Timestamps: Introduction - 00:01 Lottie Creator Scene Settings - 00:38 Animation and Interactivity Tools - 03:42 Import Animation from LottieFiles - 04:58 Lottie Creator Timeline Settings - 05:27 Lottie Creator Playback Settings - 06:38 How to Add Segments to an Animation - 07:50 Open State Machines in Lottie Creator - 10:30 LottieFiles State Machines' Inputs Explained - 12:07 How to Add Inputs in State Machines - 12:26 Bring Segments to State Machines Canvas - 14:10 How to View and Change Segments' Properties - 14:30 How to Connect Segments with Transitions - 16:01 How to View Interactivity in State Machines - 16:18 How to Add Conditions to a Transition - 16:51 How to Add Interactions to Animation in State Machines - 19:37 Types of LottieFiles State Machines' Interactions Explained - 20:09 How to Create Interactive Hover Animations - 22:07 How to Create Multiple State Machines for One Animation - 24:33 Import Animation from After Effects - 28:01 How to Break a Scene in Lottie Creator - 30:05
