Turntables and reveals: exporting your logo as video
Recording motion straight from the WebGL canvas: MP4/WebM capture, frame-rate honesty, loop points, and the motion presets — Spin, Float, Reveal — that cut cleanly.
Canvas capture, not screen recording
The video export records the WebGL canvas stream directly through MediaRecorder — not a screenshot of the browser window. That means full frame rate, no UI chrome, and resolution independent of your screen. Free tier records 480p; Pro unlocks 720p and 1080p.
Choosing a motion that loops
Spin is the honest turntable: constant angular speed, seamless loop at any cut point — the default for teasers and profile loops. Float adds gentle vertical bobbing, good for ambient embeds. Reveal rotates the mark up from edge-on: it is an intro, not a loop — cut it once, don't try to cycle it.
Duration discipline
A turntable should complete exactly one rotation in the clip — 4 to 6 seconds at normal speed. Longer clips drift viewer attention; shorter ones feel strobe-like. Record slightly long and trim to the loop point; the constant speed of Spin makes every frame a valid cut.
WebM vs MP4
The recorder emits whichever container the browser records natively; modern browsers offer both H.264 MP4 and VP9 WebM. MP4 is the safe delivery format — every timeline and social platform accepts it. Keep the WebM if you are embedding on the web; it is typically smaller at equal quality.
