Finding Lottie files to use

1
and choose Lottie JSON
2
as the format.

Import the file into Remotion​

Copy the file into the Remotion project. The recommended way is to put the JSON inside the public/ folder of Remotion (create it if necessary) and then load it using staticFile():

Animation.tsx
tsx
import { continueRender, delayRender, staticFile } from "remotion";
import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import { Lottie, LottieAnimationData } from "@remotion/lottie";
 
const Balloons = () => {
  const [handle] = useState(() => delayRender("Loading Lottie animation"));
 
  const [animationData, setAnimationData] =
    useState<LottieAnimationData | null>(null);
 
  useEffect(() => {
    fetch(staticFile("animation.json"))
      .then((data) => data.json())
      .then((json) => {
        setAnimationData(json);
        continueRender(handle);
      })
      .catch((err) => {
        console.log("Animation failed to load", err);
      });
  }, [handle]);
 
  if (!animationData) {
    return null;
  }
 
  return <Lottie animationData={animationData} />;
};

    fetch(staticFile("animation.json"))
      .then((data) => data.json())
      .then((json) => {
        setAnimationData(json);
        continueRender(handle);
      })
      .catch((err) => {
        console.log("Animation failed to load", err);
      });
  }, [handle]);
 
  if (!animationData) {
    return null;
  }
 
  return <Lottie animationData={animationData} />;
};
