You do not need to re-cut or re-render your movie trailer to create an Aura Version. Because Aura decouples the haptic track into a lightweight, standalone Apple Core Haptics (.ahap) curve, you can take any existing finished ProRes, DNxHR, or high-bitrate MP4 trailer cut and build a tactile stem in under an afternoon.

Importing Video into Haptic Studio

Download Haptic Studio (available for macOS and Windows at /download). Drag and drop your trailer video file directly onto the timeline canvas. Haptic Studio automatically extracts the audio waveform and generates 120Hz sub-frame playback markers.

Live Wireless Previewing on iPhone

Using HapticCore Preview or the Aura companion app on your local Wi-Fi network, hit Spacebar in Haptic Studio. As the timeline plays on your computer monitor, your iPhone in your hand vibrates with zero latency, allowing you to fine-tune intensity sliders in real time.
