BTS - Behind the Scenes

About this plugin

BTS traces what your animation is actually doing and draws it back on top, so a finished piece becomes a breakdown worth posting.

It analyzes every visible, animated layer in the active scene: world space motion paths, keyframe markers placed on the path at the frame they fire, anchor crosshairs, animated bounds, parent to child hierarchy links, and name tags.

Drop your own animation. Drop a Lottie file onto the panel or paste a link (lottie.host works out of the box)

What you get:

Motion paths in world space, with keyframe markers on the path
Anchor crosshairs, animated bounds, parent to child hierarchy links, and name tags
Live panel preview with playback and scrubbing (scrubbing moves Creator's playhead too)
Clean, Detailed, and Technical presets, plus save your own
One click still export, framed and sized for social posts
Drop in or link a Lottie file to trace, with automatic null layer repair
Panel and canvas follow Creator's light and dark theme

New in version 1.0.1

1.0.1

The overlay now lines up with your artwork, and what you insert matches what you see in the preview.

New

Overlay size. One slider to scale every mark: paths, boxes, anchors, keyframes.
Add a Lottie from a link. Paste a URL or drop a file on the button.
Video export. Coming soon.

Improved

Bounding boxes rotate with the layer.
Motion path trails fade when inserted, just like the preview.
Keyframe marks appear and fade with the trail.
Fix Lottie is now Add Lottie.
Adjusting Label size turns labels on.
Refreshed panel type and colour.

Fixed

Jitter on rotating layers.
Duplicated scenes now follow their own position and size.
Layers that were being skipped are now traced.
Outlines follow shapes that change form.
Trails stay in step with the animation.
Older saved presets no longer break the overlay.
Key trace picks the layers that actually move the most.
Adding a file waits for it to load before playing.

Known limits

Blur and glow effects cannot be rendered, so those layers show as outlines.
Text size and font are approximated.

Luminos

MrSmudge

design

v1.0.0

Luminos adds real light to Lottie Creator. Give any shape, text or nested scene a bright glow or a neon tube, then layer on electric arcs, lightning strikes, light sweeps and iridescent gradients. Presets for pulse, flicker and breathe animations, a live preview in the panel and on the canvas, and glows that follow your layer's keyframes. Built from Creator's own blur and drop shadow effects, so everything stays editable and exports as dotlottie.
