When VEED fits better
You make talking videos that need subtitles, translations or an AI voice, or you record your screen and webcam and edit in the same place. smooth.video does none of that.
VEED 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 need an overlay, a title or a lower third with a transparent background, or a short animation in 4K, and you'd rather not pay for a plan to get it without a watermark.
