I’ve heard some people convert their animations to GIFs too. Is that a viable option?

22

GIFs can work, but they tend to have larger file sizes and may reduce the quality of the animation. Stick with MP4 for better results!

When exporting from software like After Effects, make sure to select the right settings—H.264 codec for MP4 format and the correct resolution for your device. It’s key to success!

Thanks! I usually just go with defaults, so I’ll experiment with those settings.

You convinced me to try After Effects! But isn’t it super complicated for beginners? Will I need a tutorial just to get started?

After Effects can be a bit daunting, but there are tons of tutorials out there. Just take your time, and you’ll get the hang of it!

I think compatibility is often overlooked. Some animations won’t work on older Android versions. Check your OS compatibility first!

How do I check if my lock screen animation is compatible? Is there a list somewhere?

You can usually find compatibility info in the app description. Also, forums often have user experiences shared.

Sometimes, simpler animations can enhance performance and look better than complex ones. Have you tried those?
