What's fixed

• Tons of performance improvements, especially around autosave which could cause dropped frames if they happened while you were moving the camera
• Fixed a bug where the Universal and Simple Universal would sometimes not resize to your media

• Fixed a bug where high-sample count cinema renderes would jump around in some cases
• Fixed crashes during presentation and license activation, for users entering Present mode

• Fixed a bug introduced where reopening a saved project could reset the camera angle.

• Manual and Automatic keyframe modes make it clearer when editing a property changes an animation.
• You can also preview easing curves by hovering over them.
• The timeline has collapsible device tracks, property timing, snapping guides, and clearer selection. Zooming keeps the playhead in place.
• Device controls follow your selection, with separate color, clay, screen, and reflection controls. Apple Watch Ultra 3 has independent case and band colors.
• Shared shadows and custom shadow planes give you more control over multi-device scenes.
• My Templates shows previews of your saved scenes. Gallery templates show download progress and are grouped by tags.
• Get started with Quick Start tutorials, or keep a tutorial beside your work in Picture in Picture.
• Send a bug report or feature request from Help > Give Feedback.

• When you have a video on a mockup screen, Rotato now exports 2x-4x faster.
• Smoother timeline playback and scrubbing should no longer skip frames.
• 3x more responsive device selection and dragging.
• Faster device duplication.
• Faster gallery browsing. Cached templates and thumbnails appear while updates load in the background.
• 3-7x faster scene opening

• Hundreds of bug fixes.

• Fixed a bug introduced with macOS 27 that involved moving the playhead.

• When you hit Enter inside an inspector field, Rotato now unfocuses that field so you can use your arrow keys to nudge the camera.
• Lots of macOS Tahoe design adaptations, bug fixes, optimizations, and improvements.

• The device category is now All when you open the splash screen, no matter which category you had selected in a previous session.
• The focus blur drag field (under the numeric input) is now more sensitive, so you can adjust with more precision.
• Searching for a device in the splash screen now automatically switches to the All tab.
• The Camera section of the sidebar is now the top section.
• 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.
• 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.

• Fixed zoom issues on some in-app templates for App Store images.
