Questions
Does smooth.video have characters?
No. It animates text, images, video, shapes and drawings. To animate a character, bring it in as an image, or as a layered PSD to move its parts separately.
Can I add a voiceover?
Yes, recorded elsewhere: add the audio file to the scene and line it up with the animation on the timeline.
Is there a limit on exports?
No. Export as many times as you want, at any size.
Can a video be made from my script?
Not by smooth.video itself, but its project format is published at smooth.video/llms.txt. Give it to ChatGPT, Claude or another assistant along with your script, and open the file it writes in the editor.
Can I add captions?
Yes, as text elements you place on the timeline. There's no automatic transcription.
Is there a watermark?
No, and every download is free.
Or skip the decision.
