Beyond this tool

One 3D shot is a start. A skill cuts the whole promo.

This tool makes one looping shot from your screenshots. The 3D Mockup Promo skill uses the same 3D scenes to make a 20-second film: your agent picks a scene for each feature, writes the lines, adds the end card and the music, and renders the MP4.

  • ✓One feature per shot, cut on the beat
  • ✓Your name, call to action and colours at the end
  • ✓16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and App Store sizes

Questions

Will App Store Connect accept the file?

It's made to the published spec: an accepted size, 30 fps, H.264 at 11 Mbps within High Profile Level 4.0, 15 to 30 seconds, in an MP4 with a silent stereo AAC track where the browser can encode one. Apple also reviews what a preview shows, so use your app's real screens.

Can I make a Google Play preview too?

Yes. Export 9:16 or 16:9, upload it to YouTube as public or unlisted with ads off, and paste the link into Play Console.

Do I need a Mac or Xcode?

No. It runs in a browser; screenshots from a phone or from the simulator both work.

Is it free?

The free effects export with no sign-up and no watermark. Members' effects can be previewed by anyone and exported with a Motion Skills plan.

Are my screenshots uploaded?

No. Everything is rendered and encoded on your device.
