When InVideo fits better

You want a whole video from a sentence: a script, a voiceover, stock clips and AI-generated shots assembled for you, then refined with a team. smooth.video doesn't generate anything on its own.

InVideo 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 know what the animation should look like and want to build it exactly: a logo reveal, a title, an animated stat, a product badge, without spending credits or hoping a prompt gets it right.

Can an AI help me in smooth.video?

Yes, from outside: the project format is published at smooth.video/llms.txt, so ChatGPT, Claude or another assistant can write an animation that you open and adjust in the editor.
