Mac Mockup Studio — turn any Mac recording into a 3D product hero shot

Stage your screen recording inside a photo-realistic MacBook in 3D. Pick a photographic environment, a desk surface, a lens, and a cinematic camera motion — your screen recording becomes a product demo, not just a clip.

What's New

  • 3D MacBook Device Stage — Wrap any Mac recording inside a photo-realistic MacBook Pro 16" or MacBook Neo. The recording lives on the laptop's screen with real perspective, lighting, and reflections; the device sits on a desk in a real environment so the whole frame reads as a hero shot.
  • 6 Environment backdrops — Choose from Studio Warm, Bedroom, Sunset Beach, Sunrise, Symmetrical Garden, and Christmas Photo Studio. Each environment wraps the MacBook in real-world lighting and reflections that change the mood of the shot. Higher-resolution environments download lazily on first use, so the app stays small.
  • 5 Desk surfaces — Place the MacBook on Wood, Marble, Concrete, Leather, or Glass. Each surface ships with proper detail maps so the desk reads lit and material-correct from every angle, not just as a flat colour.
  • 12 cinematic Camera Motions — A new Camera Motion picker for Mac segments: Hold, Drift, Lid Reveal, Pull Back, Slow Orbit, Turntable, Vertigo, Push In, Crane Up, Reveal, Sway, Arc. Each motion is a hand-tuned camera move; drop a segment on the Device Motion track and pick the one that fits the moment.
  • Camera Angle picker — Six rendered preset angles (Hero, Pillar, Top, Side, Low, Free) plus pitch / yaw fine-tune sliders. Use the presets for fast composition or drag the sliders for an exact framing.
  • Real lens controls — Focal Length compresses the background like a real telephoto (the device stays the same size, the world behind it gets narrower); Aperture blurs the environment for that soft-backdrop look. Both controls update the preview and the export in lockstep.
  • Apple-grade menu bar overlay — Toggle a real macOS-style menu bar on the MacBook screen with Apple logo, app name, locale-aware clock, battery, and Wi-Fi indicator. Adds the final polish that makes a mockup feel like a real screenshot.
  • Engagement transitions per segment — Each Mac segment can fade in or zoom in (camera dolly from screen-fill out to full device-in-studio). Pick the transition style per segment or globally in the Device tab.

Improvements

  • Mac transitions feel smoother in export — Camera motion settles with a soft trailing tail now, matching the editor preview instead of stopping abruptly the instant a segment ends.
  • Lens Aperture now blurs the backdrop in export — Dragging the Aperture slider visibly softens the environment behind the MacBook in the exported video, matching what you see in the preview. Smaller f-stops blur more; f/8 and above stay crisp.
  • Smarter timeline segment labels — Mac segments now show the chosen camera motion ("Lid Reveal", "Pull Back", "Vertigo"…) instead of always reading "Hero". Non-default Speed and Transition are appended as a suffix (Lid Reveal · 2× · Fade) so the timeline conveys what the segment will do at a glance.
  • Sliders explain themselves — Distance, Speed, and Reach now include a one-line hint below the slider plus a longer tooltip on hover, so you don't have to guess what each multiplier does.
  • Redesigned Camera Angle panel — Pitch moved to a vertical slider on the right rail (so it tilts up / down where you'd expect it); Yaw stays horizontal below the preset grid with a quick usage hint.
  • Locale-aware menu bar clock — The MacBook menu bar clock now follows your system locale and time format (24-hour or 12-hour) in both preview and export.

Fixes

  • Lid Reveal opens once, then stays open — Previously the lid would loop open → close → open every few seconds for the entire segment. Now it opens during the first ~3 seconds and holds open for the rest of the segment, as a "reveal" should.
  • Cleaner Mac 3D backdrop — Several latent rendering issues cleaned up: environments load reliably, telephoto lens framings no longer clip the device out of view, and material handling for MacBook bodies now honours the original asset's design.
  • MacBook Neo rendering polish — Recording inside the LCD no longer renders vertically squashed, and the menu bar overlay shows correctly on the Neo screen panel.
  • Mac default device — New Mac recordings now default to MacBook Pro 16". (MacBook Neo remains selectable from the device picker for users who need the animated lid.)
