  3. Align: Left, Center, Right
  4. Animation speed: default 1
  5. Start animation: Autoplay (default) , Hover, Mouse click
  6. Interaction type: On load (default), Scroll

  8. If Loop Animation is set to ‘Loop’ you can specify Segment Start/Segment End to repeat
  9. Background color: RGB hexa code
  10. Render: SVG, HTML, Canvas
  11. Reverse animation: True or False. default false
  12. Unique ID for player: ID automaticaly generated by Gutenberg editor block

Shortcode support

Makes your life easier!


Using shortcode

The plugin support dedicated shortcode function also. Instead of using the Gutenberg editor block, you can easily insert Lottie animation directly into any posts or pages via the following shortcode:

[bodymovin selectloop="bounce" howstart="autoplay" interaction="onload" id="MyFirstAnim" src="https://smartart.hu/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/smart-plugin-data.json" speed="1" 
direction="1" width="200px" height="200px"]
