How It Works

Three steps to a professional device mockup video

No design tools required. Smooth Capture handles the 3D rendering, perspective, and compositing automatically.

01

Choose your device

Select from a library of realistic 3D device frames including iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks. Each frame is modeled with accurate dimensions, bezels, and materials.

02

Record your app

Record your screen as usual with Smooth Capture. Capture your iOS app via QuickTime mirroring, or record your Mac app directly. All cursor effects and zoom features work as expected.

03

Export with frame

Your recording is automatically composited inside the 3D device frame with realistic perspective, shadows, and reflections. Export as a polished video ready for your website or App Store.

The Difference

Before and after device frames

A plain screen recording shows your app. A device-framed recording shows your product. The difference is immediate and professional.

Without device frame

A raw screen recording is just a flat rectangle. Viewers see your app content but lack the context of which device it runs on. There is no sense of scale, no physical grounding, and no visual polish.

With 3D device frame

The same recording inside a 3D device frame immediately looks professional. Viewers understand the context — it is an iPhone app, an iPad experience, or a Mac workflow. Shadows and perspective add depth that flat recordings cannot.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I add a device frame to an existing screen recording?

Yes. Smooth Capture lets you apply 3D device frames to recordings after they are captured. Import your screen recording into the timeline, select a device frame, and export. The frame is composited in real time during the editing process.

Which device frames are available in Smooth Capture?

Smooth Capture includes 3D frames for iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16, iPhone 15, iPad Pro, iPad Air, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air. New device frames are added with software updates as new Apple hardware is released.

Are the device frames 3D or flat 2D mockups?

The device frames in Smooth Capture are rendered in 3D with realistic perspective, depth, shadows, and material reflections. They are not flat 2D overlays. You get a professional mockup look without needing a separate design tool.

Can I customize the background behind the device frame?

Yes. You can set a custom background color, gradient, image, or video behind the device frame. This lets you match your brand colors or create visually striking presentations for App Store previews and marketing materials.
