You want to draw: a character that walks, a flipbook, a rotoscoped clip, frame after frame with a stylus and onion skin. smooth.video has no frame-by-frame drawing.
FlipaClip vs smooth.videoWhen 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.
You're on a computer, and your animation is things that move rather than drawings that change: a title, a logo, a sticker, a photo, a character cut into pieces that slide and turn.

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.
Is there a FlipaClip for PC?
FlipaClip is made for phones, tablets, Chromebooks and Apple silicon Macs, with no official web or Windows version. smooth.video runs in a recent browser, on Windows too.
Can I draw in smooth.video?
Yes, with a simple brush: the drawing becomes an image you can move, scale, rotate and fade. You can't draw a different picture on every frame.
Is there a watermark?
No, and there are no ads.
Or skip the decision.
smooth.video is free, opens in a tab and exports without a watermark. Try it while you compare.
