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 use a smooth.video animation in Clipchamp?

Yes. Export an MP4 and add it to your Clipchamp project like any other clip.

Does it work on Mac, Linux and Chromebook?

Yes. It runs in a recent browser, whatever the computer.

Yes, completely: 4K, transparent WebM and GIF included, with no account.

When Clipchamp fits better

You're putting a video together from clips: trimming, arranging, adding transitions, stock footage, an AI voiceover or subtitles, and you already use Windows or Microsoft 365. smooth.video isn't a video editor.

Clipchamp 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.

You want the text or the logo to move exactly the way you picture it, need a transparent overlay or a 4K export, or you'd rather not sign in to make a ten-second animation.
