Can I bring my VistaCreate designs in?

Yes, as images: download your design or its parts as PNG, add them to a scene and animate them.

Can I schedule posts from smooth.video?

No. Export the video and post or schedule it with the tool you already use.

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

The animation matters more than the layout: an intro, a lower third, an animated stat, a Reel. You want the timing and motion exactly right, and a 4K or transparent export for free.

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.
