## In this lesson

### Bring the logo in (0:08)

Here's our travel app's launch screen, still empty, and its logo, an SVG, just as a designer sends it. Drag it onto the window. There it is, in one group named for the file, with a layer inside for every shape.

### Ask for the intro (0:24)

Every shape is a layer we can move, so let's ask the copilot for an intro. Press slash, widen its panel, and press slash again to type. Say what happens, in order: the badge pops in, the sun rises, then the letters draw on, one by one.

### Watch it work (0:43)

Send it, and watch. It reads the logo's layers first. The badge pops in, and the waves draw across it. The sun rises from behind the wave. Then kinlo writes itself, a stroke at a time, and the dot on the i pops on. It checks its frames, adds a Pop control, and when it's done, the intro plays.

### Keep it quick (1:05)

A launch screen shouldn't keep anyone waiting. Under the reply, drag Speed to the right. All its keys move closer together, and the intro settles in under two seconds.

### Play it (1:16)

Close the copilot, and press escape to let go of the letters. Press zero, then space. The badge pops, the sun comes up over the waves, and kinlo writes itself in. Space again to stop.

### Export it for the app (1:29)

The app plays Lottie, so we'll export a dotLottie. Click export, then dotLottie, then Export file. Just three kilobytes.
