Logo Sweep

How this one is built

Logo Sweep is built from 1 image, 1 text layer and 1 shape, using a shadow 30 pixels deep. Its colours are amber, white and near-black. Type is set in Inter.

The logo scales up at 0.1s, the channel name rises into place at 0.4s, the sweep slides in at 0.8s. The whole run is 4s at 60 frames a second.

It sits through the middle of the frame of a 16:9 composition, spanning about 39% of the width at 749×240 pixels.

What to do with it

• Make it yoursChange the words, the colours and the timing without breaking the animation that was built for the shape.
• Export it with transparencyWhich format your editor actually reads, and why a black rectangle behind your graphic means the wrong one was chosen.
• Size it for the smallest screenA mark that reads on a monitor can be four millimetres tall on the phone most of your audience is holding.
• YouTube Intro MakerMake your intro from your own logo instead — or let Autopilot make three from it — and keep it short enough to cost no watch time.
• What exporting costsOpening this template, changing it and watching it back are free. Getting the finished file out is $5 once for this project, or a plan if you make them often.
