About CineStager
Bring your scenes to life with Cinestager — the ultimate AR previsualization tool for filmmakers, creators and storytellers. Cinestager lets you instantly block, stage, and plan shots using augmented reality. Place 3D Locations, add Mannequins, and explore your scene through a virtual camera that behaves like the real thing. Import your own USDZ sets, position Mannequins with precise height controls, and visualize complex staging with Human Occlusion, which blends real people seamlessly into your AR environment. Then jump into Game Mode to fly through your scene, experiment with lens choices, and scout shots from impossible angles. Capture high-quality stills and screen-recorded camera moves, complete with optional camera and lens metadata. Each image can also generate an automatic Map View, giving you a top-down blueprint of your shot — perfect for planning and sharing with your team. Whether you're prepping a film, designing a scene, or experimenting with visual storytelling, Cinestager gives you the power of a full previs toolkit right on your device. Plan smarter. Shoot better. Visualize instantly.
What’s new
Version 6.2 · Updated October 8, 2026
NEW IN 6.2 Multi-storey locations • Set a location's floor and storeys when you import it — or later with Floors in its preview. • Switch storeys with the new floor button; the location and your mannequins move with it. • Mannequins you place now stand on the location's own floors. Saved scenes • Save a location with its mannequins as a scene, straight from the location menu. • Find your scenes under Scenes in the Location Library, grouped by location, and set them up again in AR or Game mode. Easier staging • New mannequin menu: add, select and delete mannequins in one place. • New location menu: save the scene, replace or delete the location. • Mannequins stay locked to the location when you move, turn or raise it. • Drag the scene from anywhere you touch it, and turn it around the spot you're standing on. • Hold the up/down buttons to move a mannequin faster. Top-down maps • On multi-storey locations, floors above are only cut away when they'd hide a mannequin. Safer iCloud libraries • Your locations, scenes and shots sync more safely between your devices — even offline on set. • If anything is ever missing from a library, a Recover option brings it back. Try everything free for 7 days • New users get every feature free for 7 days. After that, CineStager is a one-time purchase — no subscription. • Already own CineStager Pro? Nothing changes for you.
