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.

Can I make a sharp GIF?

Yes. The GIF comes out at the size of your scene, whatever you set it to. Keep it short so the file stays light.

Can I use my own music?

Yes. Add an audio file, and it's included in the MP4 or WebM you export.

Is there a limit on projects?

No. Keep as many as you want in your browser, and save any of them as a .smooth file.

FlexClip vs smooth.video

When smooth.video fits better

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.

You're animating a logo, a title, a product or a stat, want to set the motion yourself, and need a sharp GIF or a 4K video without paying for a plan.
