The Lottie Animation Community spec (1.0.1) is explicitly a work in progress covering a subset of features (layer types shape/image/null/solid/precomposition; basic shapes, groups, fills/strokes/gradients, trim path), so files using other After Effects features fall outside the defined spec. Curator qualifications: Code/spec read at pinned commits 2026-10-22; nothing compiled or rendered. Shapes list and versioning guideline from producer reading of shapes.md/composition.md. Community Specification License 1.0 per producer. Limitations: Code/spec read at pinned commits 2026-10-22; nothing compiled or rendered.
