Logo reveal: a brand intro without After Effects

Updated September 18, 20263 min read

How do you make a logo reveal without After Effects?

Open a logo reveal preset in the browser, upload your logo as a PNG, set the background and accent colors, choose a duration and export. The clip renders on your own machine as MP4 or transparent WebM, so no plugin, template file or render queue is involved.

A logo sting is the one piece of motion every brand needs and the one most people pay for twice. These presets mask, slice, spin and burst your own logo, and the file never leaves your browser while it renders.

Five logo reveals presets to start from

Hover any card to play it. Opening one loads it in the editor with every control unlocked.

How to make one in the browser

01Open a logo reveals presetBrowse the Logo Reveals category and open the preset closest to what you need. It loads in the editor with every control unlocked.
02Make it yoursRewrite the text, set your brand colors and font, adjust easing and duration, and switch the aspect ratio for the platform you are posting to.

Which format should you export?

Use MP4 when the clip sits on its own track or fills the frame. Use transparent WebM whenever it has to float over your own footage: the alpha channel is real, so no keying or blend mode is needed.

Three tips that make it look intentional

Upload a logo with real transparency so the reveal masks cleanly.
Two seconds is plenty for a pre-roll sting; save the longer builds for openers.
Export transparent WebM when the logo should land over your own footage or a colored plate.

Title Animations
Title cards: openers and chapter headings that set the tone
A good title card holds one idea, sets it in a readable weight, and clears the frame before the viewer loses patience. Two to three seconds is usually enough. Animate the headline and subtitle on separate beats so the eye lands on the main line first.
