Will my armchair stay identical through the hero Reveal?

The opening frame is painted with instructions to keep the upholstery, wood tone, legs and proportions as uploaded, and the Hero Reveal motion — shadows open and a band of light sweeps across the product as the camera eases in — moves the camera and the light rather than the product. Compare the clip with the armchair before you publish.

Which shape should a furniture hero Reveal be?

16:9 or 9:16 is the usual choice; the shape chips in the Studio switch it before rendering. Shopify and Walmart players each have a preferred shape, listed on the platform pages.

How many credits does an armchair as a hero Reveal cost?

A five-second 720p clip is 116 credits, opening frame included; draft 360p is 46 and 1080p is 166. A new account's 45 free credits cover one short draft hero Reveal of sofas, chairs and tables.

Furniture hero Reveal video

A hero Reveal of sofas, chairs and tables is a cinematic reveal with a traveling light, and most furniture sellers never get to shoot one. Upload one photo of an armchair and the Hero Reveal type renders it: shadows open and a band of light sweeps across the product as the camera eases in, with the upholstery, wood tone, legs and proportions as photographed.

Use the hero Reveal clip in the video slot behind your main images: it shows furniture buyers a cinematic reveal with a traveling light without breaking Shopify's media rules. Glossy, metallic and premium packaging suit this type best, and sofas, chairs and tables are squarely in that group.
