Where Previewed genuinely wins
Previewed's animated 3D and video export are best-in-class for rotating-phone social ads and marketing hero videos. If that's your ask, use them. We do not export video, and we don't try to; our job is the store listing, not the launch trailer.
FAQ
Can I use Previewed for App Store screenshots?
You can render device mockups and drop them into slots manually, but you'll do the sizing, captions, and translation work yourself. Previewed doesn't emit App Store Connect sizes directly. Shotlingo does.
Does Shotlingo do animated mockups?
No. Video / animated 3D is Previewed's core competency, not ours. If your ad concept requires a rotating phone MP4 for TikTok or a hero video for your landing page, Previewed is the right tool.
Do most teams need both?
If you produce both a store listing AND social video ads, yes: Previewed for the videos, Shotlingo for the store screenshots + localized captions. They complement each other more than they compete.
