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 put the animation in a presentation?

Yes. Export an MP4 or a GIF and insert it into PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides.

Can I import data into a chart?

No, you type the values in. It suits a handful of figures, not large datasets.

Visme 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 need an animated stat, chart or title as a video or a GIF, sharper than 1366 pixels or on a transparent background, and don't want a plan just to download it.
