Can I put the animation in a presentation?

Yes. Export an MP4 or a GIF and insert it into PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides.

Can I import data into a chart?

No, you type the values in. It suits a handful of figures, not large datasets.

Is there a watermark?

No, and every download is free.

Can I draw in smooth.video?

Yes, with a simple brush: the drawing becomes an image you can move, scale, rotate and fade on the timeline. It isn't made for drawing each frame.

Yes. Add an audio file and it's included in the MP4 or WebM. A GIF can't carry sound.

No, and there's nothing to join.

Brush Ninja vs smooth.video

When smooth.video fits better

You need an animated stat, chart or title as a video or a GIF, sharper than 1366 pixels or on a transparent background, and don't want a plan just to download it.

The animation is made of things that move: a title, a photo, a logo, a sticker, a chart. You want sound in the video, more than one layer, and no ads, without a membership.
