When CapCut fits better
You're editing footage: cutting clips, adding transitions, filters, trending sounds and effects, on your phone as much as on a computer. smooth.video isn't a video editor, and it has no app.
CapCut vs smooth.videoWhen smooth.video fits better
You need motion graphics, not characters: a title, a stat, a lower third, a logo reveal or an overlay for a video you're already making, and a yearly contract doesn't make sense for it.
You need the graphics, not the edit: an animated title, a stat, a logo reveal or a lower third, in 4K or on a transparent background, and you'd rather not unlock Pro for a font or a template.

Questions
Can smooth.video export SCORM?
No. It exports video files, which you can upload anywhere a video is accepted.
Does it have characters or avatars?
No. It animates text, images, video, shapes and drawings.
Is there a free trial?
There's no need for one: everything is free, with no time limit and no watermark.
Can I use a smooth.video animation in CapCut?
Yes. Export an MP4 and import it into your CapCut project like any other clip.
Can I edit my footage in smooth.video?
Only lightly: add a video file to the scene and put text, shapes and images on top. For cutting and arranging footage, a video editor is the better tool.
Do I need to sign in?
No. The project you're working on is autosaved in your browser, and you save it as a .smooth file to keep it or open it on another computer.
Or skip the decision.
smooth.video is free, opens in a tab and exports without a watermark. Try it while you compare.
