A free alternative to FlexClip

FlexClip is an online video maker for marketing and social videos: templates, stock footage and music, AI subtitles, voices and avatars, and animations that come in, go out or loop. Its free plan exports 720p with a watermark and keeps 12 projects. smooth.video is free without those limits: every element sits on a keyframe timeline, and exports come out clean, at the size you set.

When smooth.video fits better

You're animating a logo, a title, a product or a stat, want to set the motion yourself, and need a sharp GIF or a 4K video without paying for a plan.

When FlexClip fits better

You assemble marketing videos from stock clips and music, need AI subtitles, a voiceover or an avatar, or record your screen for a tutorial. smooth.video has no stock library and no AI tools.

How it works

  1. Open smooth.video. No account to create.

  2. Pick a template or an empty canvas, add your text, images and music, and animate each element.

  3. Export an MP4 up to 4K, a sharp GIF, or a transparent WebM.

Questions

Can I make a sharp GIF?

Yes. The GIF comes out at the size of your scene, whatever you set it to. Keep it short so the file stays light.

Can I use my own music?

Yes. Add an audio file, and it's included in the MP4 or WebM you export.

Is there a limit on projects?

No. Save each one as a .smooth file and open it again whenever you need it. Only the project you're working on is autosaved in the browser.
