Releases

You can now animate individual devices, screen contents, laptop lids, text, and images on the timeline, with separate timing for individual properties. Move one phone while the camera and the other devices stay still.

Laptop lids get their own track, so you can open and close a MacBook as part of the shot.

Your AI agent can now compose scenes, animate devices, inspect its work, and export through the Rotato command line tool. You can also create and render templates from your own scripts. A guided installer helps you get started.

You can now add 2D text and images to your scene, edit text directly on the canvas, style its background, and bring it to life with text animation presets.

You can now add multiple audio clips to the timeline, move and trim them, and hear them in previews and exported movies.

Add a soundtrack

You can now try experimental, cinema-grade for previews, still images, and movies, with studio shadows and quality presets for still exports.

The Cinema Renderer uses the same technique as e.g. Pixar movies to get shadows, light bounces and reflections true to life, and you can even see a low quality preview right in the viewport when you move the camera or update the scene otherwise.

It can be a hassle to prepare a full macOS screenshot, so Rotato can now do that for you. We know how important it is to make it just perfect, so you can customize everything: dark mode, light mode, desktop background presets, your own desktop background, dock, exactly which icons to show in the doc, and a highly requested one: a browser, with a customizable URL field.

You can now choose and animate device poses for iPhone Duo and laptops, including folding poses for iPhone Duo.

You can now duplicate a device by holding Option while dragging it, and move it across the canvas with the new center handle.

Duplicate a device

You can now add 3D labels that belong to a device and stay with it when you replace the device.

You can also click on a label to edit it directly.

Adding text labels

You can now use environment images as both lighting and a 3D background.

You can now export still images as WebP or AVIF.

A new scene puts the Apple device family together: MacBook, iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus is now available.

We updated the tutorials on focus blur, landscape mode, labels, and picking a scene.

The precise camera controls are modernized. Many people didn't find the old ones, so they now live in the Camera section of the sidebar with the other camera settings. The Camera section is also now the top section of the sidebar.

Known issue: the rotation controls have moved from the floating widget to the Camera section in the sidebar. This is not ideal, but it's a consequence of a change in macOS 15 that we are investigating with Apple.

You can now set and change the screen contents of a device from the sidebar. You can still drag and drop, but in some of the new templates the device may not be visible.

You can now visit our template store right from the splash window.

Samsung Galaxy S25 is now available.

iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max are now available.
