I have created several test files and whenever I export them to a Lottie file the text is not exported but only the shapes.
What is the error?
Program version: 1.4.4 (64-bit)
Here is the download to the testfile:

Iām facing the same problem, I get no text nor with official Lottie exporter nor with @Glax oneā¦
Any ideas?
Thanks
Yes, I did check but it doesnāt work for meā¦ actually, it looks like the Text feature PR never got merged (check here https://github.com/synfig/synfig/pull/1469)
Or, does it work for you and maybe is OS related?.. or Iām still not doing something rightā¦
Could anyone try to export text to confirm?
Thanks!
Hello
I recently tried to export to Lottie and no text was was exported/ visible. So also interested if anyone finds a solution.
I am using Windows 11 Pro.
I did find this when looking. It looks like there was something being worked on, but not sure what came of it.
Maybe its a different plugin. Struggled to follow it to be honest
Hi,
The best way to look at the progress done is reading this PR: [Lottie Exporter] Add support for Text Layer by saurabh-ramola Ā· Pull Request #1469 Ā· synfig/synfig Ā· GitHub
But developers didnāt answer my last questionā¦ I hope they get some time soon to answer it and maybe, work on it.
In the meantime, Iāve played with it and created a āforkā, fixing some minor errors and improving itās behavior. I guess I canāt release it as a whole because the main work is not mine, I may be done by merging that PR first, and then adding my improvementsā¦ but, here you have the whole thing in case you want to test it:
lottie-exporter-6-text-layer.zip (322,4 KB)
You will need to overwrite the /lottie-exporter/ folder stored in the Synfig app (depending on your OS). You could locate it following something similar to the following path:
[synfig_install_folder]/share/synfig/plugins
Let me know if it helps you.
BTW, the text layer needs more work as the font size and character tracking is not correctly calculatedā¦
IMHO, having a proper Lottie exporter (feature rich) could make Synfig boost user adoption (and probably attract new developers) as they are used a lot in web design and there are not many alternatives to export to Lottie apart from Adobe After Effectsā¦
