LottieFiles’ animation Creator got some changes to the canvas view with support for grids, rulers and guides. This makes it easier to align elements on the canvas for even more snappy animations. Also each scene has it’s own zoom and pan controls and you can now navigate between layers using your arrow keys, yay accessibility!
