When FlipaClip fits better

You want to draw: a character that walks, a flipbook, a rotoscoped clip, frame after frame with a stylus and onion skin. smooth.video has no frame-by-frame drawing.

When Motionity fits better

You want to read, change or host the code yourself under an MIT license, or you need Lottie files as layers, chroma key or a built-in stock image search. smooth.video has none of those.

Motionity vs smooth.video

When smooth.video fits better

You're on a computer, and your animation is things that move rather than drawings that change: a title, a logo, a sticker, a photo, a character cut into pieces that slide and turn.

You liked the idea of Motionity, a free motion design tool in the browser with no account, and want one that's still updated, exports MP4 and transparent WebM, and has templates to start from.

Questions

Is there a FlipaClip for PC?

FlipaClip is made for phones, tablets, Chromebooks and Apple silicon Macs, with no official web or Windows version. smooth.video runs in a recent browser, on Windows too.

Can I draw in smooth.video?

Yes, with a simple brush: the drawing becomes an image you can move, scale, rotate and fade. You can't draw a different picture on every frame.

Is there a watermark?

No, and there are no ads.

Can I open Motionity projects?

No. smooth.video opens its own .smooth files: bring your images, videos and audio over and rebuild the animation.

Where are my projects stored?

The project you're working on is autosaved in your browser, as with Motionity. Save it as a .smooth file to keep it before starting another, or to open it on another computer.

Can I export MP4?

Yes, as well as WebM with transparency, GIF, PNG, JPG and WebP.

Or skip the decision.

smooth.video is free, opens in a tab and exports without a watermark. Try it while you compare.
