Can I overlay header text on top of a Lottie animation in Webflow for my website's header video?

Yes, you can overlay header text on top of a Lottie animation in Webflow by using proper element structure and position styling.

1. Add the Lottie Animation

• Drag a Lottie element into the desired section (e.g., Header section).
• Upload or link your Lottie JSON file.
• Set the Lottie animation’s width and height to fill the section (use 100% width and height or absolute positioning if needed).

2. Use a Wrapper with Relative Positioning

• Wrap both the Lottie and text elements inside a div block.
• Set this wrapper’s position to Relative so child elements can be absolutely positioned within it.

3. Overlay the Text

• Add a text block or heading element inside the same wrapper.
• Set the text element’s position to Absolute (e.g., top-left, center, etc.).
• Customize alignment using top/right/bottom/left values and set z-index higher than the Lottie (e.g., z-index: 10).

4. Style the Text and Animation Responsively

• Use flexbox or grid on the wrapper for responsive alignment if desired.
• Make sure the text scales appropriately on different screen sizes using VW units, or adjust font sizes with Webflow’s responsiveness settings.

Summary

Yes, you can overlay header text on a Lottie animation by placing both elements in a relatively positioned wrapper and using absolute positioning for the text. Adjust z-index and layout settings to ensure correct layering and responsiveness.
