Can I generate many videos from a spreadsheet?

Not automatically. A script or an AI assistant can write one .smooth file per row, but each one is opened and exported by hand in the editor.

Can an AI assistant make the video?

Yes. The whole format is published at smooth.video/llms.txt: point ChatGPT, Claude or another assistant at it, describe the animation, and open the file it gives you.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The editor and the export both run in your browser.

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.

Mojo vs smooth.video

When smooth.video fits better

You want one video, not ten thousand: you'd rather see it and drag things into place than write components, or the person making it doesn't code.

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.
