CapCut vs smooth.videoWhen smooth.video fits better
You want to download a short animated video today without a subscription, and you'd rather set the motion yourself than start from a script.
You need the graphics, not the edit: an animated title, a stat, a logo reveal or a lower third, in 4K or on a transparent background, and you'd rather not unlock Pro for a font or a template.

Questions
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.
Can I use a smooth.video animation in CapCut?
Yes. Export an MP4 and import it into your CapCut project like any other clip.
Can I edit my footage in smooth.video?
Only lightly: add a video file to the scene and put text, shapes and images on top. For cutting and arranging footage, a video editor is the better tool.
Do I need to sign in?
No. The project you're working on is autosaved in your browser, and you save it as a .smooth file to keep it or open it on another computer.
Or skip the decision.
smooth.video is free, opens in a tab and exports without a watermark. Try it while you compare.
