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. Keep as many as you like in your browser, and save any of them as a .smooth file.
