When Rive fits better

The animation lives in a product and reacts to people: a button that responds to hover, a character that follows the cursor, a loading state driven by your app's data. That takes a runtime, and smooth.video doesn't have one.

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 ends up in a video, a post, an email or a slide, and plays the same way every time: a logo reveal, a product teaser, an animated stat, a GIF.

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 export Lottie or .riv files?
No. It exports video (MP4 and WebM), GIF and images.
Can I put a smooth.video animation on a website?
Yes, as a video or a GIF. It plays the same way for everyone, without reacting to the cursor or to clicks.
