"This Lottie animation does not have a value applied" error in Webflow

When working with Lottie animations in Webflow, you might encounter the error message "This Lottie animation does not have a value applied." This error typically occurs when a Lottie animation element does not have any values assigned for its properties, such as animation speed, auto-play, or loop.

To resolve this error and ensure your Lottie animation works as intended, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the Lottie animation element: Identify the Lottie animation element causing the error and select it in the Webflow Designer.

  2. Set animation values: In the right sidebar panel, navigate to the "Transform" section. Here, you can configure various properties for your Lottie animation:

  • Auto-play: Activate auto-play to make the animation start playing as soon as the page loads.
  • Animation speed: Adjust the animation speed by specifying a value. A value of 1 refers to the default speed, while values greater than 1 make the animation play faster, and values less than 1 slow it down.
  • Loop: Enable the loop option if you want the animation to repeat continuously.
  1. Save and publish: After setting the desired values, click "Save" and then "Publish" to apply the changes to your live website.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the "This Lottie animation does not have a value applied" error in Webflow and ensure that your Lottie animation functions properly.
