Can an AI help me in smooth.video?

Yes, from outside: the project format is published at smooth.video/llms.txt, so ChatGPT, Claude or another assistant can write an animation that you open and adjust in the editor.

Does smooth.video have stock footage?

No. Bring your own images, videos and music, or start from a template.

A free InVideo alternative for animation you make yourself

InVideo is an AI video generator with a timeline editor: describe a video and its agents write, voice and assemble it from stock footage and AI models, with team editing and handoff to Premiere Pro. Its free plan runs on a few weekly credits, and downloading without a watermark takes a paid plan. smooth.video uses no credits: you place and animate every element yourself, and export for free.

When smooth.video fits better

You know what the animation should look like and want to build it exactly: a logo reveal, a title, an animated stat, a product badge, without spending credits or hoping a prompt gets it right.

When InVideo fits better

You want a whole video from a sentence: a script, a voiceover, stock clips and AI-generated shots assembled for you, then refined with a team. smooth.video doesn't generate anything on its own.
