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 I post the video to Instagram or TikTok?

Yes. Export a 1080×1920 MP4, send it to your phone and post it like any other video.

Can I change the timing of a template?

Yes, all of it: drag any element along the timeline, change its entrance, or move it at any point in time.

Mojo vs smooth.video

When smooth.video fits better

Your video is made of text, logos, photos, shapes and numbers, you'd rather not count exports, and you want 4K or a transparent overlay without paying for a plan.

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.
