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.

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.

Motionity 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 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.
