When LottieFiles fits better

The animation ships inside an app or a website and should stay tiny, sharp at any size, recolourable with themes, or interactive. That's what Lottie is for, and smooth.video doesn't export it.

When Linearity Move fits better

You design on a Mac or an iPad, bring artwork in from Figma, Illustrator or Sketch, need shapes that morph, or deliver Lottie files. smooth.video does none of those.

Linearity Move vs smooth.video

When smooth.video fits better

The animation goes in a video, a social post, an email or a presentation rather than in an app: a logo reveal, a Reel, an animated banner, a lower third. You want a video file, maybe with photos or footage in it.

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.
