Wideo 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 want a short animated video as a file you can put anywhere, today, in full HD or 4K, without a plan and without branding.
