Can I post the video to Instagram or TikTok?

Yes. Export a 1080×1920 MP4, send it to your phone and post it like any other video.

Can I change the timing of a template?

Yes, all of it: drag any element along the timeline, change its entrance, or move it at any point in time.

A free Mojo alternative for animated Stories and Reels

Mojo is a phone app for animated Stories, Reels and TikToks: pick one of its templates, drop in your photos, videos and text, and share. The free version adds a Mojo watermark and locks the Pro templates, and Pro is a subscription. smooth.video makes the same kind of vertical animation on a computer, for free, with the timing and motion of every element up to you.

When smooth.video fits better

You work on a computer, want the motion to be your own rather than a template's, or need the same animation in several sizes, for free and without a watermark.

When Mojo fits better

You make Stories and Reels on your phone in a few taps, with trending audio, auto captions and a large template library at hand. smooth.video has no mobile app.
