>Animated Vector Drawable (Android only). More performant because it runs on the RenderThread instead of the main thread. Supports only a subset of Lottie features. Progress can't be manually set. Doesn't support text or dynamic colors. Can't be loaded programatically or over the internet. The real long term alternative on Android is that Bodymovin now has a plugin to directly export an animation to the VectorDrawabl…

I wished their sample animations were not GIFs but actual live renders. I couldn't find a web based "live example", but if it can do what they say, it looks pretty cool.

For what it is worth, it is often used on mobile and works pretty well there, I guess it is the same on web. The only downside I can think of : - you really need to sit down with your animators and explain to them which effects they can use and which ones they need to avoid. Some manipulations will allocate a bitmap at each frame, it ends up very choppy - some lottie json can take a while to read. In some cases we ju…

Regarding the first downside you listed, would you say all the performance pitfalls are covered in the project’s documentation, elsewhere online, or did you become aware of them through trial and error?
