How can I add a lottie animation file as the background in the hero section and overlay text, search box, and button over it in Webflow?
To add a Lottie animation file as the background in the hero section and overlay text, search box, and button over it in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
Prepare your Lottie animation file: Make sure you have your Lottie animation file ready. Lottie is a JSON file format for animations created with Adobe After Effects or other animation software. You can find Lottie animation files on various websites, or you can create your own.
Create a new Webflow project or open an existing one: Log in to Webflow and create a new project or open an existing project that you want to work on.
Add a section element to the page: In the Webflow Designer, select the page where you want to add the hero section. Drag and drop a Section element from the Elements panel on the left side of the screen onto the canvas.
Set the section as the hero section: With the Section element selected, go to the settings panel on the right side of the screen. Enable the "Hero" option by toggling the switch. This will make the section full-width and full-height, which is suitable for a hero section.
Add a Container element inside the hero section: Inside the hero section, drag and drop a Container element from the Elements panel. This will create a container to hold your content and overlay it over the Lottie animation background.
Set the background of the Container element: With the Container element selected, go to the settings panel. Under the Background section, choose the "Image" option. Click on the image placeholder and upload your Lottie animation file.
Overlay text, search box, and button: Inside the Container element, add the necessary elements for your text, search box, and button. You can use Text elements, Form elements, and Button elements from the Elements panel. Position and style these elements as desired.
Adjust stacking order: By default, the text, search box, and button will be overlaid on top of the Lottie animation. If you want to adjust the stacking order, go to the settings panel of each element and use the "Position" settings to change their order (e.g., make the Lottie animation appear above or below the other elements).
Preview and publish: Once you have set up your Lottie animation background and overlay elements, preview the page in the Webflow Designer to see how it looks. Make any necessary adjustments to the layout or styling. When you are satisfied, publish your site to make it live on the web.
By following these steps, you can add a Lottie animation file as the background in the hero section and overlay text, search box, and button over it in Webflow.
