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.

Can I put the animation in a presentation?

Yes. Export an MP4 or a GIF and insert it into PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides.

Can I import data into a chart?

No, you type the values in. It suits a handful of figures, not large datasets.

Visme 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 need an animated stat, chart or title as a video or a GIF, sharper than 1366 pixels or on a transparent background, and don't want a plan just to download it.
