Lottielab 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.
The animation ends up as a video: a social post, a product teaser, a clip for a presentation or a README, maybe with photos, footage or music, and you want it in full HD or 4K without a plan.

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.
