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.

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.

Can I draw in smooth.video?

Yes, with a simple brush: the drawing becomes an image you can move, scale, rotate and fade on the timeline. It isn't made for drawing each frame.

Yes. Add an audio file and it's included in the MP4 or WebM. A GIF can't carry sound.

No, and there's nothing to join.

Brush Ninja vs smooth.video

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.

The animation is made of things that move: a title, a photo, a logo, a sticker, a chart. You want sound in the video, more than one layer, and no ads, without a membership.
