When smooth.video fits better

You're on Windows, Linux or a Chromebook, or you just want to open a tab, animate a title or a logo, and export it without creating another account.

When Linearity Move fits better

You design on a Mac or an iPad, bring artwork in from Figma, Illustrator or Sketch, need shapes that morph, or deliver Lottie files. smooth.video does none of those.

How it works

  1. Open smooth.video on any computer. No account, nothing to install.

  2. Bring in your artwork as images or a layered PSD, and animate each piece on the timeline.

  3. Export an MP4, a GIF or a transparent WebM.

Questions

Can I import Figma designs?

Not directly. Export the pieces you want to move as PNG and drop them in, or bring a layered PSD to get each layer as its own element.

Can I export Lottie?

No. smooth.video exports MP4, WebM, GIF and images.

Is there a limit on projects?

No. Save each project as a .smooth file on your computer, as many as you need. The editor autosaves the one you're working on in your browser.
