Does the Hero Reveal type work for glossy or dark tea tins, sachets and loose-leaf pouches?

Yes. The opening frame lights the tea tin for its material, and the hero Reveal motion keeps that light consistent. For very reflective tea tins, sachets and loose-leaf pouches, a dark set shows the highlights moving best.

Which shape should a tea hero Reveal be?

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

Q: Will my tea tin stay identical through the hero Reveal?

The opening frame is painted with instructions to keep the tin artwork, blend name and lid 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 tea tin before you publish.

A hero Reveal of tea tins, sachets and loose-leaf pouches is a cinematic reveal with a traveling light, and most tea sellers never get to shoot one. Upload one photo of a tea tin 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 tin artwork, blend name and lid as photographed.

Use the hero Reveal clip in the video slot behind your main images: it shows tea drinkers a cinematic reveal with a traveling light without breaking Etsy's media rules. Glossy, metallic and premium packaging suit this type best, and tea tins, sachets and loose-leaf pouches are squarely in that group.
