Changelog

Last updated Jun 20, 2026

Jun 20, 2026

Features

• 🖼️ Source section in the sidebar. The right-hand sidebar now opens with a Source card showing a preview of your uploaded image or video. Click it to replace, or click the empty state to upload (drag drop and paste still work). In multi-shot projects the preview tracks the selected shot.
• 👋 Quick survey after an export. Right after a successful export, a short modal asks what you are using SynthMock for. Pick one of five options or skip, helps us prioritise what to build next.

Jun 19, 2026

Features

• 🎯 Blur focus guide. Tweaking the Blur panel now overlays a faint dashed outline tracing exactly where the focus sits: a circle for Radial, a line for Directional, and a pair of lines for Tilt Shift. Solid marks where the blur starts, dashed shows the falloff. Fades out shortly after you stop adjusting.
• 🕹️ 2D focus pad. Radial blur swaps the separate Focus X and Focus Y sliders for a single drag pad, so you can position the focal point in one move.

Jun 18, 2026

Features

• 🪞 Sharper 3D devices. Titanium iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Pro Display XDR bodies now use a refined IBL setup with brushed-metal grain, dialed-in chamfer and panel materials, and contact shadow grounding so they read like real product shots.
• 🖼️ Background image library. The scene Background panel now has a dropdown of built-in backgrounds (Bubble, Crystal, Glaze, Liquid Metal, Sky, Spectrum, Sunrise, Whisp) with a Custom upload option at the bottom.
• 📱 Screen BG modes. The 3D device Screen BG section now has a Color / Image picker matching the scene background, so you can drop a built-in or uploaded image straight onto the device screen.
• 🪟 Glass border thickness. Picking Border Style → Glass now reveals a Glass Width slider (0 to 10) so you can dial the bezel from a hairline to a chunky chrome rim.

Jun 16, 2026

Fixes

• 🌐 Fixed a rare editor crash that hit users with Chrome or Google Translate enabled. The editor now opts out of in-page translation while marketing pages stay translatable.

Jun 14, 2026

Features

• 📱 A nicer mobile layout. The control panel now slides in from the right and is hidden by default, so the viewport and top bar fill the screen. A new control-panel button next to the top bar opens and closes it.
• 📸 Capture image on mobile. The orange one-click capture button from desktop is now in the mobile top bar too.
• 🎬 Timeline strip on mobile. The full video editor is still desktop-only, but the transport strip now stays put on phones with a clearer message when you tap to expand.

Jun 12, 2026

Features

• 🖼️ A different image for every shot. In a multi-shot project, uploading an image now applies it to the selected shot (with an "Apply to all shots" option), so each shot in your sequence can show its own screen.
• 🎯 Per-shot image controls. Right-click a clip in the sequence timeline for "Replace image" and "Reset to project image". Shots without their own image keep showing the project image.
• 📬 Project and template limit requests. Pro plans now come with 20 projects and 20 templates. If you hit the cap, a new modal lets you send a message to ask for more space, right from the editor or the projects page.

Fixes

• 🐛 Fixed a viewport crash that could blank the editor when parking the playhead on a fresh or never-committed shot in the timeline.

Jun 11, 2026

Features

• 🎬 Multi-shot videos. Build a video from a sequence of shots, each with its own device, environment, lighting, camera, and keyframe animation, exported back to back as a single video.
• 🎞️ A new two-level timeline. The sequence view lays your shots out as clips on a shared ruler; double-click any clip to drill into its keyframe editor, then step back out to the overview whenever you like.
• ✂️ Arrange your sequence. Drag a clip's edges to trim a shot, drag its body to reorder, and set the overall video length from the transport bar (up to 60 seconds across all shots).
• 🎚️ Transitions between shots. Add a cut or an adjustable fade at each seam, plus a fade in and fade out for the whole video.
• 🔶 Keyframe markers in the sidebar. A small orange diamond appears next to any control animated by the current shot's keyframes.

Jun 2, 2026

Fixes

• 🎞️ Applying an animation preset to a long video no longer crops it to 4 seconds. The preset starts at its short default, and you can now extend the timeline length all the way up to your video's duration.

May 31, 2026

Features

• 📣 New "what's new" popup appears in the bottom-left when a feature ships, with a link to the changelog.
• 🎚️ New Easing Graph editor on the timeline. Each keyframe now has its own in and out curves you can shape with draggable handles, plus an 8-tile preset grid (linear, ease, ease-in / out / in-out, sine, quint, expo) and a live tracing dot that previews the curve as you go.
• 🎥 Animation Presets popover replaces the old preset dropdown. Eight camera moves (scan, top-to-bottom, low-angle pan-up, slow zoom out, overhead pan, out-and-back, fold-up, flat truck) each shown as a CSS-3D thumbnail that animates the move against your own screen.
• 🖱️ Multi-select on the timeline strip. Drag a marquee to select a range of keyframes, Shift-click to add or remove, then drag the group together or hold Alt to retime them proportionally. Cmd / Ctrl + Opt / Alt + A selects everything.
• ⌨️ Press K to add a keyframe at the playhead. Delete / Backspace removes the selected keyframe.
• ⏱️ Timeline duration is now part of the saved project so your edited length sticks across reloads. The duration input takes any integer from 1 to 20 seconds.

May 29, 2026

Fixes

• 🎬 Video exports are now more reliable and faster. An export no longer fails if you minimise the window or switch tabs partway through, and most exports finish noticeably quicker, especially in Safari.
• 🎞️ Fixed a stutter in exported videos where the footage could briefly freeze or jump a frame while the camera and mockup kept moving smoothly.

May 28, 2026

Features

• 🖼️ Redesigned image export menu with a Landscape / Square / Portrait switch that filters the size list to match. New free 4:3 (1920×1440) and 3:4 (1440×1920) presets sit alongside the existing 720p and 1080p options.
• 🎯 Snap to centre is gentler and now has an on/off toggle in the main menu (next to Toggle timeline) so you can disable the centre pull entirely.
• ⌨️ Sidebar number inputs accept the arrow keys. Up and down nudge by one step, Shift speeds it up by 10.

May 27, 2026

Features

• 📱 New iPad Pro 3D model. Pick it from the device picker to drop the latest iPad Pro into your scene.
• ✨ Improved screen reflections across 3D models for a more realistic, glossier look.

May 26, 2026

Features

• 🎥 Videos now persist with your project. Drop a video into the viewport, leave, come back, it’s still there. Saved on this device only (videos don’t sync across browsers or computers); we’ll prompt you to re-upload if the file can’t be found.

May 24, 2026

Features

• 🧩 New Templates menu in the top bar with a Starter tab of ready made scenes, browsable by everyone. Free users can load a starter and capture images right away; Pro upgrades it into a saved project.
• ⏱️ Refreshed Video Timeline controls: an LCD playhead readout, dedicated Play / Pause, Loop, and Stop buttons with tooltips, and tidier dropdowns for duration, presets, and easing.

Fixes

• 🪟 Video Timeline controls now wrap onto a second row on narrow viewports instead of overflowing.
• 🧭 Top menu bar collapses Info, Help, and Captures into the hamburger menu on narrow desktop widths so Templates and Export stay reachable.

May 23, 2026

Features

• 🌑 New 3D environment: Studio Concrete, with real shadows on the floor and a soft pool of light around the device. Set it from Scene, Environment.
• 🌫️ New Falloff slider in the Blur section softens how the sharp area fades into the blur. Works in every blur mode.
• 🎬 In the video timeline, changing an effect with no keyframe selected now applies the change to every keyframe at once.
• 🎞️ Video export now offers the full set of size presets (21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 3:2, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16, plus custom width and height), matching image export.
• 📱 iPhone 17 mockup now paints an iOS style status bar (time, signal, Wi-Fi, battery) that auto-adapts between black and white based on the underlying screenshot, plus a subtle scrim for legibility.
• 💡 iPhone 17 model has a softer, more realistic default lighting so the titanium frame no longer reads as flat plastic.
• 📷 Camera panel now exposes a FOV slider (10° to 100°) for everything from telephoto to wide angle looks.
• 🔭 Camera zoom slider now extends out to 10, letting you frame extreme long lens shots.
• 🎨 Refreshed every background gradient preset with deeper darks, more saturated colors, and distinct multi-source compositions.

Fixes

• 📱 The right side panel now scrolls properly on phones and tablets, even when your finger lands on a slider.
• 🎯 The Reset Camera button now restores every field, including FOV, Rotate X, and Rotate Y, to a clean neutral starting pose.

Features

• 📁 Projects are now live. Create and manage projects with full autosaving features.

Fixes

• 🖼️ Creating a new project loads straight into the placeholder mockup without a brief flash of the default scene.
• 🎬 Hold space and drag inside the viewport to pan the camera, or press space anywhere else to play or pause the timeline. The two shortcuts no longer fight when the timeline is open.
• 📷 Large screenshots and background images now save reliably, even when you switch to another project before the upload finishes.

May 8, 2026

Features

• 🎬 Timeline keyframes now support copy and paste. Select a keyframe, press cmd/ctrl+C, scrub elsewhere, then cmd/ctrl+V to drop a duplicate.
• 🖱️ Right-click the timeline track or a keyframe for quick actions: add a keyframe at the click position, or copy/delete an existing one.
• 〰️ Choose an easing curve per keyframe segment: linear, ease in, ease out, or ease in-out. Pick from the small select that appears in the timeline toolbar when a keyframe is selected, or right-click a keyframe.
• ✏️ Edit a keyframe in place. Select it, then change any control in the side panel and the keyframe picks up the new values.

Fixes

• 🎚️ The sidebar now updates when you scrub the timeline or click a keyframe, so you can see the exact values at any point in your animation.

May 7, 2026

Fixes

• 🔐 Sign-in is more resilient when the database is briefly slow. Codes no longer surface as "expired" while a request is still in flight, and a single click on Send Code can no longer end up sending two emails.

May 6, 2026

Fixes

• 🖼️ Captures now download at the full export resolution. Free downloads no longer have black bars around the watermark, and Pro downloads are crisp 3x exports as intended.

May 4, 2026

Features
