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.

Is there a watermark?

No. The download is free and clean.

Can I open Motionity projects?

No. smooth.video opens its own .smooth files: bring your images, videos and audio over and rebuild the animation.

Where are my projects stored?

In your browser, as with Motionity. Save a project as a .smooth file to keep a copy or move it to another computer.

Yes, as well as WebM with transparency, GIF, PNG, JPG and WebP.

Placeit vs Motionity

Placeit and Motionity side by side, as of September 2026: what each one costs, what it's made for, and when smooth.video, a free animation tool that runs in your browser with no account, does the job instead.

Motionity vs smooth.video

When smooth.video fits better

You need one intro or logo animation rather than a subscription, want it to move your way, or need it on a transparent background.

You liked the idea of Motionity, a free motion design tool in the browser with no account, and want one that's still updated, exports MP4 and transparent WebM, and has templates to start from.
