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

Questions
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.
Is there a watermark?
No, and no template is locked.
Can smooth.video open or export Lottie files?
Neither. It imports images, video, audio and layered PSD files, and exports video, GIF and images.
Can I use photos and video in my animation?
Yes. Add images, video clips and audio to the scene next to your text and shapes.
Do I need an account?
No, and there's no workspace either. Your current project is autosaved in your browser; save it as a .smooth file on your computer to keep it.
Or skip the decision.
smooth.video is free, opens in a tab and exports without a watermark. Try it while you compare.
