Can I use a Renderforest template in smooth.video?

No, but smooth.video has its own gallery of intros, logo reveals and titles, and every element in them can be changed.

Is my video rendered on a server?

No. The export runs in your browser, so there's no queue and nothing to upload. A long 4K video takes a while on a slower computer.

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.

Renderforest vs Motionity

Motionity vs smooth.video

When smooth.video fits better

You want an intro, a logo sting or an animated title in full HD or 4K without buying a plan, and you'd like to change how things move, not only the text inside a scene.

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.
