Linearity Move 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're on Windows, Linux or a Chromebook, or you just want to open a tab, animate a title or a logo, and export it without creating another account.
