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 generate many videos from a spreadsheet?

Not automatically. A script or an AI assistant can write one .smooth file per row, but each one is opened and exported by hand in the editor.

Can an AI assistant make the video?

Yes. The whole format is published at smooth.video/llms.txt: point ChatGPT, Claude or another assistant at it, describe the animation, and open the file it gives you.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The editor and the export both run in your browser.

Remotion

How you make a video: React code
What you need: Node.js, a code editor and some React
Rendering: On your machine, a server or AWS Lambda
Videos generated from data, at scale: Yes
AI assistants: Agent skills and a Claude Code plugin

When Remotion fits better

You generate videos from data, personalize them for each user, render them on servers, embed a player in your app, or build your own video product. smooth.video has no API and no server rendering.

Remotion 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 one video, not ten thousand: you'd rather see it and drag things into place than write components, or the person making it doesn't code.
