The Community Animations plugin lets you browse and insert free animations shared by the LottieFiles community directly into your Lottie Creator scene.

## What it helps you do

<List type="bullet">
  <ListItem>Discover free, community-made animations without leaving the editor</ListItem>
  <ListItem>Insert animations into your active scene as ready-to-edit layers</ListItem>
  <ListItem>Find inspiration and starting points for your own projects</ListItem>
</List>

## How it works

1. Click the **Community Animations** icon in the left sidebar
2. Use the filters to narrow the library
3. Click an animation to insert it into your active scene
4. Edit or animate it like any other layer

<List type="bullet">
