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 I use my own logo?
Yes. Import it as an image, remove its background in one click if it has one, and animate it.
Does smooth.video make mockups?
No. It animates: intros, logo reveals, titles and social posts. For product mockups, Placeit is the better tool.
Or skip the decision.
