Wideo vs smooth.video

When smooth.video fits better

The GIF isn't a meme: a product announcement, an animated banner, a sticker for a newsletter. It needs to be bigger than 500 pixels, carry more than one line of text, and come out clean.

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.

Questions

Can I make memes?
You can put a caption over any image or video you add, but there's no library of meme templates: bring your own picture.
Can my GIF have sound?
No, a GIF file can't hold sound. For an animation with music, export an MP4: the audio you added is included.
Is there a limit on text or images?
No. Add as many texts, images and shapes as the animation needs.
Can I download my video for free?
Yes, always: as an MP4, a WebM, a GIF or a still image, at the size you set.
Can I add a voiceover?
Yes, recorded elsewhere: add the audio file and line it up on the timeline. There's no text-to-speech.
Is there a watermark?
No, never.
