How many credits does a wool cap 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 caps, beanies and brimmed hats.

How long should a hats hero Reveal be?

Five to eight seconds. Shorter clips compress the motion; longer ones slow it down rather than adding more. Render two lengths and keep the one that reads best on a phone.

Does the Hero Reveal type work for glossy or dark caps, beanies and brimmed hats?

Yes. The opening frame lights the hat for its material, and the hero Reveal motion keeps that light consistent. For very reflective caps, beanies and brimmed hats, a dark set shows the highlights moving best.

Hats hero Reveal video

A hero Reveal of caps, beanies and brimmed hats is a cinematic reveal with a traveling light, and most hats sellers never get to shoot one. Upload one photo of a wool cap 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 fabric, brim shape and embroidery as photographed.

Use the hero Reveal clip in the video slot behind your main images: it shows hat buyers a cinematic reveal with a traveling light without breaking Etsy's media rules. Glossy, metallic and premium packaging suit this type best, and caps, beanies and brimmed hats are squarely in that group.
