A wedge opens out from the centre like a hand sweeping round a dial, uncovering the mark as it goes and ringing out once at the end.

Frequently asked
What is the Curtain Open animation?
Two solid panels sit closed over the frame, then draw back from the middle to leave the lit mark standing behind them. It belongs to the Logo Reveals category on velements, where you edit it in the browser and download it as a finished video file.
What can you customize in Curtain Open?
Every control in the editor, grouped the same way there. Content: logo image and title. Typography: font and weight. Style: background, text color, primary, secondary and accent. Layout: aspect ratio and logo size. Motion: duration, easing and intensity. Each change appears in the live preview straight away, and editing is free.
How long is Curtain Open?
Curtain Open runs 3 seconds by default, and you can set any length up to 15 seconds before you export. It plays once from start to finish, so it drops straight onto a cut or an opening.
Can you download Curtain Open with a transparent background?
Yes. Set the background to Transparent, then export a PNG sequence for Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro or Figma: import the first frame as an image sequence and it drops onto a track above your footage with a straight alpha channel. Export WebM with a VP9 alpha channel for the web and for CapCut. MP4 has no alpha channel, so it keeps a solid color or image behind the animation.
Can you use Curtain Open in commercial projects?
Yes. Each download comes with a perpetual commercial license in your name for client work, ads and products, and you may sell the edited clip on stock footage sites. Reselling the preset itself as an editable template is not allowed.
