Yes, there is a way to prevent the blinking effect after each loop of a looping Lottie animation in Webflow. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Prepare the animation: Before you upload your Lottie animation to Webflow, make sure that your animation has at least one extra frame at the end. This extra frame will serve as a buffer between the last frame and the first frame of the loop.

  2. Upload the animation: Go to Webflow and upload your Lottie animation using the Lottie component. You can add the Lottie component to your page by dragging it into a container element.

  3. Adjust animation settings: With the Lottie component selected, go to the animation settings by clicking on the gear icon. In the animation settings panel, locate the Loop dropdown menu and choose "Loop and Jump." This option ensures that the animation seamlessly jumps from the last frame to the first frame without any blinking effect.

  4. Set initial state: To prevent the blinking effect at the beginning of the animation, you need to set the initial state of the animation. With the Lottie component still selected, go to the Interactions panel and select the trigger that will initiate the animation (e.g., Page Load, Scroll interaction, etc.). In the Initial State dropdown menu, choose the frame number that represents the first frame of your animation. This will ensure that the animation starts from the desired frame without any blinking.

  5. Preview and adjust: Preview your website to see if the blinking effect has been eliminated. If you still notice any blinking, you may need to tweak the animation by extending the duration of the extra frame or adjusting the timing of the animation elements.

By following these steps, you can prevent the blinking effect that occurs after each loop of a looping Lottie animation in Webflow.
