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.

Does smooth.video generate subtitles?

No. You can type captions as text elements and time them on the timeline, but nothing is transcribed automatically.
