Can I import my PowerPoint?

No. Export your slides as images, add them to a scene and animate them there.

Can I put a smooth.video animation in a presentation?

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

Is there a watermark?

No, and the download is free too.

You can put a caption over any image or video you add, but there's no library of meme templates: bring your own picture.

Can my GIF have sound?

No, a GIF file can't hold sound. For an animation with music, export an MP4: the audio you added is included.

Is there a limit on text or images?

No. Add as many texts, images and shapes as the animation needs.

When smooth.video fits better

You need a short animated piece, like a title card, a stat, a product demo with a cursor or a social post, and a file you can download right away, with no watermark and no plan.

The GIF isn't a meme: a product announcement, an animated banner, a sticker for a newsletter. It needs to be bigger than 500 pixels, carry more than one line of text, and come out clean.
