The animation goes on a website or in an app as code: a lightweight animated SVG, an icon that reacts to hover, a Lottie file or a Flutter widget. smooth.video only exports video, GIF and images.

When Motionity fits better

You want to read, change or host the code yourself under an MIT license, or you need Lottie files as layers, chroma key or a built-in stock image search. smooth.video has none of those.

Motionity vs smooth.video

When smooth.video fits better

The animation goes into a video, a social post, an email or a slide, uses photos, footage or music next to shapes, and you want the file without paying for a plan.

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.

Questions

Can smooth.video export animated SVG?

No. It exports MP4, WebM, GIF, PNG, JPG and WebP.

Can an AI assistant make the animation?

Yes. The .smooth format is published at smooth.video/llms.txt: give it to an assistant, describe what you want, and open the file it writes.

Is there a watermark?

No, on any format.

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?

The project you're working on is autosaved in your browser, as with Motionity. Save it as a .smooth file to keep it before starting another, or to open it on another computer.

Can I export MP4?

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

Or skip the decision.

smooth.video is free, opens in a tab and exports without a watermark. Try it while you compare.
