Chrome logo reveal.

What happens in a chrome reveal

The chrome look extrudes your logo into a solid object with a mirror finish. It swings in from the side, bright light strips slide across the metal, and the last second is a clean hold. That still ending gives you a tidy frame to cut from, so the same clip can open a video or close it before the end screen.

Getting a good chrome finish

• Polish is this look's intensity slider. Higher gives a sharp mirror; lower gives a softer, satin metal.
• Primary colour tints the metal. Pale blues and greys stay close to classic chrome; a stronger colour gives tinted metal.
• Bevel rounds the edges where the light strip catches. If your logo has thin lines, try a lower bevel so the shapes stay crisp.
• Background: a dark colour makes the reflections and the sweep easier to see.

Length, format and sound

Pick 6 seconds if you want the swing and the hold to breathe, or 4 seconds for a quick sting before your content. Use 16:9 for a YouTube intro and 9:16 for Shorts or Reels. The Bright whoosh sound suits the moving light; leave sound off if your video already has music.

The free export is a 720p MP4 with a small watermark. Personal removes it and goes up to 1080p; Pro adds 4K and a transparent PNG-frame ZIP for laying the metal logo over your own footage in an editor.
