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.videoWhen 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.

- 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?
- In your browser, as with Motionity. Save a project as a .smooth file to keep a copy or move it to another computer.
- Can I export MP4?
- Yes, as well as WebM with transparency, GIF, PNG, JPG and WebP.
