The backstory
Rotato takes an app screenshot and wraps it around animated 3D phones and laptops for launch videos and app store shots. Image models can now composite a screen into a plausible device photo without any 3D scene at all. Rotato keeps the edge where it matters: the screen content stays pixel accurate and the camera moves are controllable and repeatable. Good enough that pros stay, but the casual one-off mockup has drifted to prompting.
