To fix the issue of the drop shadow being clipped on your Lottie animation in Webflow, you can update the renderer setting. Follow these steps:

  1. Select the Lottie animation element: Start by identifying the Lottie animation element on your Webflow project page. Click on the element to select it.

  2. Access the Style panel: In the right-hand sidebar of the Webflow Designer interface, click on the "Style" tab to access the styling options for the selected element.

  3. Find the "Effects" section: Scroll down in the Style panel until you find the "Effects" section. This is where you can modify the visual effects applied to the element.

  4. Click on "Add an effect": Under the "Effects" section, click on the "Add" button to add a new effect.

  5. Choose the "Drop Shadow" effect: From the list of available effects, select "Drop Shadow" to add a drop shadow effect to the Lottie animation element.

  6. Adjust the shadow properties: Once the drop shadow effect is added, you can customize its properties to suit your needs. You can modify properties such as color, opacity, blur, spread, and position to achieve the desired effect.

  7. Update the renderer setting: To ensure that the drop shadow is not clipped, you need to update the renderer setting. In the Style panel, scroll up to the top where you will find the "Renderer" section. By default, the renderer setting is set to "SVG". Click on the dropdown menu to change it to "Canvas".

  8. Preview and fine-tune the animation: Once you have made the necessary adjustments, preview the animation to see if the drop shadow is now properly displayed without clipping. If needed, you can further tweak the effect properties until you achieve the desired result.

Updating the renderer setting from SVG to Canvas allows for better compatibility with certain effects, including drop shadows, in Lottie animations within Webflow. This change should resolve the issue of the drop shadow being clipped.

Additional Note:
Please note that this solution assumes you are working with the Webflow Designer interface, not the Webflow Editor. If you are using the Editor, access the Style panel by double-clicking on the Lottie animation element.
