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.

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. Your projects stay in your browser, and you can save any of them as a .smooth file.

When 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.
