When Lottielab fits better
The animation ships inside an app or a website as a small vector file, starts from Figma frames, reacts to people, or is shared across a product team. smooth.video does none of that.
Lottielab 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.
The animation ends up as a video: a social post, a product teaser, a clip for a presentation or a README, maybe with photos, footage or music, and you want it in full HD or 4K without a plan.

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 import Figma designs?
Not directly. Export the pieces you want to move as PNG and drop them in, or bring a layered PSD to get each layer as its own element.
Can smooth.video export Lottie?
No. It exports MP4, WebM, GIF, PNG, JPG and WebP.
Is HD export free?
Yes. Every resolution is free, 4K included.
