Graphics to laser. ILDA-ready.

Use case: Export a motion piece from After Effects with the Lottie plugin (e.g. Bodymovin)—then open that Lottie file in LaserTrace to turn it into a sequence of SVG vector frames.

• AE → Lottie export (.json, .lottie, or .tgs) → numbered SVGs
• Optional start / end frame range
• Requires the lottie package in the app environment

Use case: Same path as Lottie → SVG—export from After Effects with the Lottie plugin—then go straight to ILDA for lasers. LaserTrace writes a single ILDA animation file (.ild): each Lottie frame becomes a frame in that file, so you get one laser-ready animation with every frame in the ILDA sequence.

• AE → Lottie (.json, .lottie, .tgs) → one multi-frame .ild
• Frame range, points, dwell, smoothness (same idea as SVG → ILDA)
• ILDA Format 0 or 5 (format choice tied to licensing in-app)

Raster to vector for logos, stills, and traced artwork—single files or whole folders.

• Threshold 0–255 for binarization
• Pro Trace (potrace) or OpenCV contours
• Import folder mode for batch PNGs

Direct vector-to-ILDA using the v2 converter (multi-shape paths). Optional folder import for batch SVGs.

• Points, dwell, smoothness; invert Y
• Format 0 (3D index color) or Format 5 (2D true color)
• Custom output directory and .ild basename

Import a video file and convert it to an ILDA animation—ready to use with laser playback and show workflows.

• MOV, MP4, AVI, and other common video formats
• Export as a multi-frame .ild animation
• Control how frames are sampled and how the ILDA output is shaped

Combine multiple .ild files from a folder into one sequence, or process a single multi-frame ILDA animation file.

• Frame name and company name metadata (8 characters each)
• Optional resampling (10–10,000 points) or keep original counts
• Folder mode: natural sort of .ild / .ILDA / .ilda files

Export a frame from an ILDA file for TouchDesigner and 3D / compositing workflows (“Export ILDA for TD” in the app).

• Packed texture PNG (square texture)
• Wavefront OBJ (lines, normalized, optional MTL)
• PNG preview or SVG vector trace of a frame
