When smooth.video fits better

You need a logo reveal, an animated post, a lower third or a YouTube intro, you want it today, and you'd rather not sign up for another tool or pay to remove a watermark.

When Jitter fits better

You design in Figma and want your frames brought straight in, several people work in the same file, or you ship Lottie animations in an app or a website. smooth.video has no Figma import, no collaboration and no Lottie export.

Open smooth.video. No account, nothing to install.
Start from a template or from scratch, and move things at points in time: smooth.video animates everything in between.

Questions

Can I import Jitter or Figma files?

No. smooth.video imports images, video, audio and layered Photoshop files.

Can an AI assistant make the animation for me?

Yes. A smooth.video project is a plain JSON scene, and its whole format is published at smooth.video/llms.txt. Point ChatGPT, Claude or another assistant at it, describe your animation, and open the file it gives you in the editor.

How can it be free?

There is no server doing the work: the editor and every export run in your browser, so one more user costs nothing to serve.

Try it before you settle on Jitter.

It opens in a tab, works without an account, and exports without a watermark.
