Motionity 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.

- 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 open Motionity projects?
- No. smooth.video opens its own .smooth files: bring your images, videos and audio over and rebuild the animation.
- Where are my projects stored?
- In your browser, as with Motionity. Save a project as a .smooth file to keep a copy or move it to another computer.
- Can I export MP4?
- Yes, as well as WebM with transparency, GIF, PNG, JPG and WebP.
