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.

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

Can I bring my Adobe Express designs in?

Yes, as images: download your design or its parts as PNG, add them to a scene and animate them in smooth.video.

Can I animate a Photoshop file?

Yes. Drop the PSD into the editor and each layer becomes its own element, in place, ready to animate.

Is there a watermark?

No. Every export is free and clean, transparent WebM included.

Adobe Express vs smooth.video

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.

The animation is the deliverable: an intro, a lower third, an animated stat, a Reel. You want to decide exactly where each element is at each moment, and a transparent export to put over video.
