How long should a phone Cases 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 phone cases and covers?

Yes. The opening frame lights the case for its material, and the hero Reveal motion keeps that light consistent. For very reflective phone cases and covers, a dark set shows the highlights moving best.

Q: Will my case stay identical through the hero Reveal?

The opening frame is painted with instructions to keep the print, cutouts and edge color 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 case before you publish.

The Hero Reveal type turns a clear phone case into a cinematic reveal with a traveling light — shadows open and a band of light sweeps across the product as the camera eases in. For phone Cases that means a neon-lit turn on a reflective surface, in a clip five to eight seconds long, with the print, cutouts and edge color held in every frame.

Every case in the range can go through the same Hero Reveal settings, so the Etsy collection page and the PDP galleries look like one shoot. Swap Hero Reveal for another type with one click to split-test phone cases and covers.
