Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive render instructions for rendering an animation. The animation comprises a plurality of layers, each layer comprising one or more layer properties, and a first dynamic property to be defined at runtime prior to rendering the animation. The first dynamic property is mapped to a first set of layer properties of the one or more layer properties. A first dynamic property value is received for the first dynamic property. The first set of layer properties are defined based on the first dynamic property value. The animation is rendered on a computing device based on the render instructions and the first dynamic property value.
