Vector graphics would be one way to implement Lottie support, but would require significant groundwork including this other feature request.

To decouple the current feature request so it doesn't depend on others, we could instead render Lottie animations to images. Perhaps a node like Play Lottie animation that outputs a series of images, similar to Play Movie or Decode Movie Image.

I'm opening the feature request for voting with the assumption that it's for rendering to images. (If the feature request is still open by the time Vuo supports vector paths and SVG files, we can reevaluate the plan for implementation.)

A further assumption is that we'd build the node on top of an open-source cross-platform Lottie player. Tentatively, rlottie seems like the best available option. It implements many though not all of the After Effects bodymovin features.

Workaround for playing Lottie files in Vuo now: convert them to GIFs.

This worked

Yes! Here's a very simple example as a starting point: OpenCV_test.zip

Feel free to ask further questions as you work on the nodes. Here are some previous discussions that might be helpful:

• example code and link to documentation
• including Asio, a header-only library
• including ARToolkit (older example that uses the deprecated .pro build file instead of CMake)
