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 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.

Yes. Every resolution is free, 4K included.

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.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.

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.
