Can I make a video with a transparent background?

Yes. Set the scene's background to Transparent and export a WebM: the transparency is kept in the file.

Can smooth.video add subtitles automatically?

No. Type your captions as text elements and place them on the timeline.

Is there a FlipaClip for PC?

FlipaClip is made for phones, tablets, Chromebooks and Apple silicon Macs, with no official web or Windows version. smooth.video runs in a recent browser, on Windows too.

Can I draw in smooth.video?

Yes, with a simple brush: the drawing becomes an image you can move, scale, rotate and fade. You can't draw a different picture on every frame.

FlipaClip vs smooth.video

When smooth.video fits better

You need an overlay, a title or a lower third with a transparent background, or a short animation in 4K, and you'd rather not pay for a plan to get it without a watermark.

You're on a computer, and your animation is things that move rather than drawings that change: a title, a logo, a sticker, a photo, a character cut into pieces that slide and turn.
