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.
