Yes. Export an MP4 and import it into your CapCut project like any other clip.

Can I edit my footage in smooth.video?

No. It exports MP4, WebM, GIF, PNG, JPG and WebP.

Can an AI assistant make the animation?

Yes. The .smooth format is published at smooth.video/llms.txt: give it to an assistant, describe what you want, and open the file it writes.

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 goes into a video, a social post, an email or a slide, uses photos, footage or music next to shapes, and you want the file without paying for a plan.
