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.

Does smooth.video generate subtitles?

No. You can type captions as text elements and time them on the timeline, but nothing is transcribed automatically.

How long are my projects kept?

They stay in your browser until you clear its data. Save any of them as a .smooth file to keep a copy or open it on another computer.

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're making the animated pieces of a video, like titles, lower thirds, logo stings or animated stats, want them at full quality without a watermark, and don't need a team workspace.
