Why Motion Mockups
- 01
Designed by a person
I build every scene in Blender: the room, the light, the camera move. You get the finished choices, not a scene to set up.
- 02
A polished video in minutes
Fewer controls, on purpose. Drop in the recording, pick scenes, set a few basics, export. The hours of setting up a shot went into each scene once, so you skip them.
- 03
Environments, not backdrops
Oak and plaster, raw concrete, a meadow. Every scene is a lit, furnished place with soft shadows, depth of field and reflections, and the camera moves through it.
See your own app in a scene
Drop in a screen recording and it opens in the editor, already playing in a finished shot. Free to make and preview; export with Pro.

Make it on your computer
The editor needs a bigger screen for your recording and the export. Send yourself the link and pick up where you are.

Five collections, each a place
A frame from each. Your recording plays on the device's screen while the camera moves through the scene.

How the video gets made
Four steps here, with the scene ready to go. In Rotato you set up the shot first, with every control open; its steps come from Rotato's feature pages.
In Motion Mockups
- 01Add your recording: a video or an image.
- 02Pick scenes from the five collections. Your recording plays on the device in each.
- 03Order them on the timeline; trim and scale the recording, pick an aspect, reflections or a speed ramp.
- 04Export an MP4 at 1080 or 2160 pixels on the short edge.
In Rotato
- 01Pick a device model, or start from a template.
- 02Put your recording or image on its screen.
- 03Choose the background, reflections and shadows.
- 04Animate the camera and the device on the timeline; set the lens and depth of field.
- 05Export, choosing the format, resolution and frame rate.

More tools, from 3D editors to still libraries, one row each: mockup tools compared.
Motion Mockups suits you if
you want your recording in a lit, furnished place with the camera already moving, a polished video in minutes without setting up a shot, and several scenes cut into one film.
Need it for one launch? One month of Pro covers it: export everything, then cancel. What you exported stays licensed.
Rotato suits you if
you want to direct the camera yourself, need Android phones, watches or several devices in one frame, need transparent video, ProRes or 8K, or would rather buy the Mac app once (a paid licence with a free trial; Rotato Web is free during its public beta).

Questions
Do I need to set up a camera or lights?
No. Every scene comes with its room, light and camera move, set when I render it. You drop in a recording and pick scenes; there are no paths or keyframes to set. If you'd rather direct the camera yourself, a 3D tool like Rotato does that.
Is anything generated by AI?
No. I model, light, animate and render every scene in Blender; no AI image or video model makes any part of a scene.
Does it run on Windows?
Both do. Motion Mockups is a web page, and export works in Chrome, Edge or Safari on a computer, Windows or Mac. Rotato's Mac app needs macOS; Rotato Web runs in a browser on Windows, free during its public beta, and the Mac app is a paid one-time licence.
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. Make the whole video with your own recording and watch the 720 preview with a watermark, without an account. Exporting the MP4 or a still needs Pro: $35 a month, or $240 a year, tax included.
Can I get a refund?
Within 14 days of your first purchase, if you've made fewer than 3 exports, write to us and we'll refund it. See the Terms.
