How it looks
How to make a logo intro
A finished intro in a few minutes, with no editing software. The reveal plays with its sound before you sign up for anything.
Drop in your logo
Drop a PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG on the box above, type your website so the Logo Finder brings in your logo, or type your channel name. The studio opens on the Spotlight reveal.
Pick a reveal
Keep the spotlight, or switch to a spin, a slam or a logo that assembles from its pieces. Every reveal lands on one big hit.
Choose the sound
Keep the music written for the reveal, take the effects alone so your voice can follow straight away, or upload your own channel theme.
Choose the shape and the ending
16:9 for YouTube, streams and podcasts, 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok. Close on the free Proofscene ending, your own brand ending or nothing at all.
Download and drop it into your video
Take the Full HD MP4 and place it at the very start of your timeline, before your first shot.
Intro, reveal or outro: which do you need?
An intro opens the video, a reveal is the moment the logo appears, and an outro closes it. One studio makes all three from the same 3D logo, so the start and the end of every video match.
| Piece | What it does | How long | In the studio |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intro | Opens the video and tells viewers whose channel or show this is | A few seconds: the reveals here run 5 to 7 seconds | Any reveal. On paid plans, No ending cuts straight into your first scene |
| Logo reveal | The moment the logo appears, built up with motion and light and timed to a hit in the music | The hit lands 0.6 to 3 seconds in | Spotlight, Spin reveal, Slam, Assemble and more |
| Outro | Closes the video and points viewers to what comes next | YouTube end screens can sit in the last 5 to 20 seconds of a video of 25 seconds or more | Your brand ending: your logo, line and website on a 3-second card, on paid plans |
Planning an outro for YouTube? Its help page says “End screens can be added to the last 5–20 seconds of a video” and that a video “has to be at least 25 seconds long” to have one (YouTube Help). A 3-second brand card fits comfortably before them.
When the logo lands: the reveals and their hits
Each reveal is built around one beat, where the logo lands, the impact sounds and the music drops. Cut to your first scene on that beat, or let the ending play out.
| Reveal | What happens | Hit lands at | Length | Makes a great intro for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spotlight | Rises out of the dark as a beam of light sweeps across it | 3 s | 6.5 s | Cinematic openers, premium brands, film and fashion channels |
| Spin reveal | Flies in spinning from far away and lands on a hit | 2.2 s | 6 s | High-energy channels, gaming, sports and launches |
| Slam | Drops from above and crashes down with a boom | 1 s | 5.5 s | Trailers, fitness, events and bold announcements |
| Assemble | Every piece flies in and they lock together | 3 s | 6 s | Tech, agencies and logos made of several parts |
| Coin flip | Tossed up, flips like a coin and lands facing you | 1.6 s | 5 s | Finance, rewards, games and playful brands |
| Bounce | Drops in and bounces to rest like a real ball | 0.6 s | 5 s | Food, family, retail and friendly channels |
| Float | Hovers and turns slowly while the light plays across it | 1.5 s | 7 s | Wellness, travel, design and calm, premium channels |
Times are from the first frame of the video. The ending card adds 3 seconds after the reveal. For a looping logo instead of a one-time reveal, the spinning logo GIF maker opens on a turn with no seam.
Sound design for a logo reveal
A reveal is felt as much as seen. Every sound is placed on the instant of the move it belongs to.
The build. A whoosh follows the logo as it flies in, and a swell rises in the moment before it lands, so the audience leans in.
The hit. A deep impact lands on the exact frame the logo does, with a metallic clank where it fits, and the music's drop lands with it.
The shine. A soft shimmer passes with the light across the logo after it settles, the detail that makes a reveal feel finished.
Your choice of mix. Keep the full score, take the effects alone for a crisp open that leaves room for your voice, or lay your own theme under it (MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, Opus or FLAC) with a smooth fade. Every intro is leveled to -14 LUFS, the loudness streaming apps play at, so it never jumps out louder or quieter than the video it opens.
Intro sizes for YouTube, Shorts, Reels and TikTok
Pick the shape of the video the intro opens, and the reveal reframes itself to fill it.
| Shape | Pixels | Where it opens |
|---|---|---|
| Wide 16:9 | 1920 × 1080 px | YouTube videos, Twitch streams, video podcasts, webinars |
| Vertical 9:16 | 1080 × 1920 px | YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok |
| Portrait 4:5 | 1080 × 1350 px | Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn feeds |
| Square 1:1 | 1080 × 1080 px | Any feed, and as a square sting for slides |
YouTube's upload guide puts it plainly: “The standard aspect ratio for YouTube on a computer is 16:9” (YouTube Help). Every platform's sizes, lengths and safe zones in one place: how to animate a logo.
Add the intro to your video
The intro is an ordinary MP4, so it drops into any editor on a computer or a phone.
Match the shape
Download the intro in the same shape as the video it opens: 16:9 for a YouTube video, 9:16 for a Short or a Reel.
Put it first
Import the MP4 into your editing project and place it at the very start of the timeline, before your first shot.
Cut on the hit
Cut to your first scene on the reveal's hit or just after the ending, or dissolve across for a softer open.
Balance the sound
Keep the intro's music at full level, or lower it under your first words if you start talking straight away.
Export as usual
Export the finished video at the same frame size, and the intro travels with it to every upload.
An intro and an outro that match
Open on a reveal, close on your own brand ending, and every video starts and ends the same way.
Every reveal, sound and shape previews free, with no account. A free account downloads three videos, five images and three 3D files every month; free intros close on a short Proofscene card with a small credit at the foot of the frame.
Paid plans turn the ending into yours: a card with your logo, your line and your website, or no ending at all so the intro cuts straight into your video. Paid plans start with Creator at $15 a month, with 20 videos, 100 images and twenty 3D files every month. See every plan on the pricing page.
Intros for every kind of channel
Wherever a video or a stream starts, a few seconds of your logo in 3D sets the tone.
Video podcasts
Start each episode on the same reveal and theme, so the podcast looks as produced as it sounds.
Live streams
Play the intro on your starting scene while chat fills up, and again when you come back from a break.
Courses and tutorials
Open every lesson the same way, so a course feels like one well made series rather than a stack of recordings.
Webinars and events
Run the 16:9 reveal on the big screen before the first speaker, or as the countdown ends.
Company and product videos
Bookend a launch film, a hiring video or a sales demo with the company logo, opening with a reveal and closing on your brand ending.
Launching a physical product? Proofscene also makes 3D product animation from a manufacturer's CAD: launch films and social clips cut for every platform.

Logo intro maker FAQ
Plain answers about logo intros and reveals: length, size, sound, outros and price.
Ask us anythingHow do I make a YouTube intro with my logo?
Drop your logo on the logo intro maker, or type your website or your channel name. It opens on the Spotlight reveal with music; switch to Spin reveal, Slam or another reveal, choose 16:9 and download a 1920 × 1080 px MP4 to place at the start of your video. Previews are free; downloads come with a free account.
How long should a YouTube intro be?
Short. The reveals here run 5 to 7 seconds of motion, plus a 3-second ending card if you keep one: long enough for the logo and its hit, short enough that your video starts while viewers are still settling in.
Can I make a logo intro with sound for free?
Yes. Every reveal plays with music written for it and effects timed to its motion, free in the preview with no account. A free account downloads three videos, five images and three 3D files every month, and free intros close on a short Proofscene card.
What is a logo reveal?
A logo reveal is the moment a logo appears on screen, built up with motion, light and sound so it lands with weight. Here the logo is a real 3D object: it rises under a spotlight, spins in, slams down or assembles from its pieces, and the music hits on the frame it lands.
Can I make an intro and an outro for my channel?
Yes. Use a reveal as the intro and your brand ending as the outro: a 3-second card with your logo, your line and your website. Paid plans include the brand ending and the option of no ending at all, starting with Creator at $15 a month.
What size should a YouTube intro be?
1920 × 1080 px (16:9), the shape YouTube's own encoding guide calls standard for watching on a computer. For Shorts, Reels and TikTok, choose 9:16 and download 1080 × 1920 px.
Can I use the intro on Twitch, podcasts and TikTok?
Yes. The MP4 plays as a video in your streaming software, opens a video podcast like any clip, and in 9:16 it fills the screen on TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
Which reveal makes the best intro?
Spotlight for a cinematic, premium open, Spin reveal and Slam for energy, Assemble for logos made of several parts, and Float for calm brands. They all play free, so try each one on your own logo.
Can I use my channel’s own music?
Yes. Choose Your music and upload your theme (MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, Opus or FLAC). It is laid under the reveal with a smooth fade and leveled to -14 LUFS, the loudness streaming apps play at.
