Clipchamp

Watermark: Never

Screen recorder, AI voiceover, subtitles: Yes

When Clipchamp fits better

You're putting a video together from clips: trimming, arranging, adding transitions, stock footage, an AI voiceover or subtitles, and you already use Windows or Microsoft 365. smooth.video isn't a video editor.

Clipchamp vs smooth.video

When 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 want the text or the logo to move exactly the way you picture it, need a transparent overlay or a 4K export, or you'd rather not sign in to make a ten-second animation.
