Mojo vs smooth.video

When smooth.video fits better

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.

You work on a computer, want the motion to be your own rather than a template's, or need the same animation in several sizes, for free and without a watermark.

Questions

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.
Is there a watermark?
No, never.
Can I post the video to Instagram or TikTok?
Yes. Export a 1080×1920 MP4, send it to your phone and post it like any other video.
Can I change the timing of a template?
Yes, all of it: drag any element along the timeline, change its entrance, or move it at any point in time.
