Sweep and Reveal: a dashboard animation for the first look at your product
Sweep and Reveal is a 4-second scene where up to seven components of your real product page appear in one gentle, continuous sweep. It shows the shape of your whole product more than any single part, which makes it a strong first look at a dashboard or workspace. It suits SaaS, analytics and AI products that want a clean, composed reveal.
The preview shows placeholder content. Your video uses your UI, words, logo and colors.

What it looks like
The upper half of your real product page fills the frame across its full width, with the sidebar and background already in place. Then a gentle sweep moves across it, and your chosen components, such as header buttons, cards, stats or panels, appear one after another in a smooth, continuous motion. It is calmer than the busier reveal styles. In about four seconds the page stands complete, giving viewers the full shape of your product.
It works as the opening or the first product scene after the problem, and it feels elegant and composed.
Best for
- Giving viewers the first full look at your dashboard
- Opening the first product scene right after the problem
- Showing results being generated or data being analyzed
- Introducing an AI chat or analytics workspace
What you add
- A capture of a page made of separate cards or panels
- Up to seven components from the upper half of that page
Capture tips
- Zoom the browser in as far as you can while everything you want in the shot still fits on screen. A bigger capture stays sharper in the video.
- Pick a page made of separate cards or panels, with a clear header and first row of content.
- Select up to seven whole components from the upper half only, top to bottom and left to right. Four to six read best.
- Leave the sidebar and page background unselected so they hold the frame while the rest appears.

Questions
Which reveal should I choose?
Sweep and Reveal shows the shape of the whole product in one gentle sweep. Rise & Reveal builds content piece by piece as if it is being generated, and Left-to-Right Reveal or Pop-in Reveal give a close look at a few small parts.
Why only the upper half of the page?
The template frames the upper half of the page across its full width, so components lower down fall outside the shot.
Will it work on a text-heavy page?
Not well. It needs distinct components to reveal, so a long article or a plain form is a poor fit.
