Yes, it is possible to sync an audio file with a Lottie animation and control it using custom animations in Webflow. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Upload your audio file: First, you will need to upload your audio file to your Webflow project. You can do this by going to the Assets panel and clicking on the "Upload" button. Make sure your audio file is in a compatible format, such as MP3 or WAV.

  2. Add the Lottie animation: Next, you'll need to add the Lottie animation to your Webflow project. You can do this by either downloading a Lottie animation file from a site like LottieFiles, or by creating your own animation using a tool like Adobe After Effects. Once you have the Lottie animation file, you can upload it to Webflow by going to the Assets panel and clicking on the "Upload" button.

  3. Add an audio element: Drag and drop an audio element onto your Webflow page. You can find this element under the "Components" section in the Add panel. Set the source of the audio element to the uploaded audio file.

  4. Sync the audio with the Lottie animation: With the audio element and Lottie animation on your page, you can now sync them together. Select the Lottie animation element and go to the Interactions panel. Create a new animation triggered by the page load event. In the animation timeline, add a new action to play the audio element.

  5. Control the animation with custom animations: You can use Webflow's custom animations feature to control the Lottie animation based on different actions or interactions on your page. For example, you can create a custom animation that plays the Lottie animation when a button is clicked or when a specific element is scrolled into view.

By syncing the audio with the Lottie animation and using custom animations, you can create engaging and interactive experiences on your Webflow website.
