When Jitter fits better

You design in Figma and want your frames brought straight in, several people work in the same file, or you ship Lottie animations in an app or a website. smooth.video does none of those.

When VistaCreate fits better

You need lots of matching posts, flyers and print files from a big template and stock library, resized in one click and scheduled to your social accounts, with a simple animation on top.

VistaCreate 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 matters more than the layout: an intro, a lower third, an animated stat, a Reel. You want the timing and motion exactly right, and a 4K or transparent export for free.

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 bring my VistaCreate designs in?
Yes, as images: download your design or its parts as PNG, add them to a scene and animate them.
Can I schedule posts from smooth.video?
No. Export the video and post or schedule it with the tool you already use.
Is there a watermark?
No, never.
