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 Windows, Linux or a Chromebook, or you just want to open a tab, animate a title or a logo, and export it without creating another account.

Questions
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 watermark?
No, at any resolution.
Can I import Figma designs?
Not directly. Export the pieces you want to move as PNG and drop them in, or bring a layered PSD to get each layer as its own element.
Can I export Lottie?
No. smooth.video exports MP4, WebM, GIF and images.
Is there a limit on projects?
No. Save each project as a .smooth file on your computer, as many as you need. The editor autosaves the one you're working on in your browser.
Or skip the decision.
