A Clipchamp alternative for animated graphics

Clipchamp is Microsoft's video editor, built into Windows 11: trim and arrange clips, add transitions, titles and stock footage, and export in 1080p for free without a watermark. It needs a Microsoft account. smooth.video has a different job: animating text, logos, images and shapes on a keyframe timeline, with no account, exported in 4K or on a transparent background.

When smooth.video fits better

You want the text or the logo to move exactly the way you picture it, need a transparent overlay or a 4K export, or you'd rather not sign in to make a ten-second animation.

When Clipchamp fits better

You're putting a video together from clips: trimming, arranging, adding transitions, stock footage, an AI voiceover or subtitles, and you already use Windows or Microsoft 365. smooth.video isn't a video editor.
