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 animate a chart from a spreadsheet?

No, you type the values in. smooth.video suits a handful of figures; for charts built from real data, Cavalry is the better fit.

Can I open Cavalry projects?

No. smooth.video opens its own .smooth files and imports images, video, audio and layered PSD files.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The editor and every export run in your browser.

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.

You need an animated title, a logo reveal or a social post today, on any computer, including one where you can't install software, and you don't need procedural systems to get there.
