Mojo vs smooth.videoWhen smooth.video fits better
The animation is the deliverable: an intro, a lower third, an animated stat, a Reel. You want to decide exactly where each element is at each moment, and a transparent export to put over video.
You work on a computer, want the motion to be your own rather than a template's, or need the same animation in several sizes, for free and without a watermark.
