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.

Can I draw in smooth.video?

Yes, with a simple brush: the drawing becomes an image you can move, scale, rotate and fade on the timeline. It isn't made for drawing each frame.

Yes. Add an audio file and it's included in the MP4 or WebM. A GIF can't carry sound.

No, and there's nothing to join.

Brush Ninja vs smooth.video

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.

The animation is made of things that move: a title, a photo, a logo, a sticker, a chart. You want sound in the video, more than one layer, and no ads, without a membership.
