I have a json animation created in AfterEffects, exported with BodyMovin. https://github.com/bodymovin/bodymovin
Is there any way to take this json file and programmatically transform it in to a video? Basically I am trying to create a JibJab style video, where a user can input a photo of their face and our app will take that face and place it over an animation. I need to transform that animation into a video file that can be saved to the user's phone. Maybe with ffmpeg?
I was able to find free public face tracking software using the Microsoft Face Detection API.

We were also able to take individual images, and utilize ffmpeg to generate a video / gift from those images. We went our media up to S3 and utilized an AWS Lambda function to transform media upon upload. It didn't look great, but it kind of worked!
