Mojo vs smooth.videoWhen smooth.video fits better
The animation is the deliverable: a YouTube intro, a lower third, an animated stat, a Reel. You want exact control over timing, a transparent export to put over video, and no account.
You work on a computer, want the motion to be your own rather than a template's, or need the same animation in several sizes, for free and without a watermark.
