Installation

1. Download the Embed External Assets Into Lottie script
2. Unzip the downloaded zip file
3. In Cavalry navigate to Help > Show Scripts Folder
4. Open the Scripts folder
5. Drag the contents of the zip into the Scripts folder
6. In Cavalry navigate to Scripts > Embed External Assets Into Lottie

Usage

1. Enable or disable the Center anchor points feature
2. Click the Select JSON button and select a Lottie JSON file
3. The old JSON will be saved with a .bak extension and the new JSON will have all external assets embedded into the JSON file

Notes

Caution

Lottie JSON files generated in Cavalry 2.5.4 or older do not copy external assets to the /images folder correctly. Be sure to use Cavalry 2.6.0 or newer. If external assets are missing you'll receive an error message.

Warning

Lottie JSON files generated in Cavalry 2.6.0 or older append an additional index number when copying external assets to the /images folder (ex: FileName0.png, FileName1.png). This is not a problem as the assets array in the Lottie contains the updated file names. Keep this in mind when manually copying over external assets to Lottie exports generated in Cavalry 2.5.4 or older.

Note

Simply replacing the external asset paths with base64 embeds (similar to Bodymovin) works well, however images appear to be using a bottom-right anchor point. Adjusting anchor points using negative half width and negative half height values appear to fix this issue.
