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 liked the idea of Motionity, a free motion design tool in the browser with no account, and want one that's still updated, exports MP4 and transparent WebM, and has templates to start from.

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.
Can I open Motionity projects?
No. smooth.video opens its own .smooth files: bring your images, videos and audio over and rebuild the animation.
Where are my projects stored?
The project you're working on is autosaved in your browser, as with Motionity. Save it as a .smooth file to keep it before starting another, or to open it on another computer.
Can I export MP4?
Yes, as well as WebM with transparency, GIF, PNG, JPG and WebP.
Or skip the decision.
smooth.video is free, opens in a tab and exports without a watermark. Try it while you compare.
