When VEED fits better
You make talking videos that need subtitles, translations or an AI voice, or you record your screen and webcam and edit in the same place. smooth.video does none of that.
VEED 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 need an overlay, a title or a lower third with a transparent background, or a short animation in 4K, and you'd rather not pay for a plan to get it without a watermark.

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.
Can I make a video with a transparent background?
Yes. Set the scene's background to Transparent and export a WebM: the transparency is kept in the file.
Can smooth.video add subtitles automatically?
No. Type your captions as text elements and place them on the timeline.
Is there a watermark?
No, at any resolution.
Or skip the decision.
smooth.video is free, opens in a tab and exports without a watermark. Try it while you compare.
