Motionity vs smooth.videoWhen 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 liked the idea of Motionity, a free motion design tool in the browser with no account, and want one that's still updated, exports MP4 and transparent WebM, and has templates to start from.

- 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.
- Can I open Motionity projects?
- No. smooth.video opens its own .smooth files: bring your images, videos and audio over and rebuild the animation.
- Where are my projects stored?
- In your browser, as with Motionity. Save a project as a .smooth file to keep a copy or move it to another computer.
- Can I export MP4?
- Yes, as well as WebM with transparency, GIF, PNG, JPG and WebP.
