When FlipaClip fits better

You want to draw: a character that walks, a flipbook, a rotoscoped clip, frame after frame with a stylus and onion skin. smooth.video has no frame-by-frame drawing.

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're on a computer, and your animation is things that move rather than drawings that change: a title, a logo, a sticker, a photo, a character cut into pieces that slide and turn.

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.
Is there a FlipaClip for PC?
FlipaClip is made for phones, tablets, Chromebooks and Apple silicon Macs, with no official web or Windows version. smooth.video runs in a recent browser, on Windows too.
Can I draw in smooth.video?
Yes, with a simple brush: the drawing becomes an image you can move, scale, rotate and fade. You can't draw a different picture on every frame.
Is there a watermark?
No, and there are no ads.
