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.

You make whole presentations, infographics and reports, with charts built from data, interactive publishing, forms and a team that approves the brand. smooth.video makes the animated pieces, not the document.

Visme vs smooth.video

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.

You need an animated stat, chart or title as a video or a GIF, sharper than 1366 pixels or on a transparent background, and don't want a plan just to download it.
