Beam’s 1:45 launch film runs 31 scenes, about 3.4 s each. The product shows up at 0:11 and 9 features are revealed. The call to action lands at 1:38 (94% in), over a voiceover. A chain of short, locked off UI demos on a dark desktop, each introduced or capped by a black title card that names the next feature, cut at a steady mid tempo. The look is defined by the near black teal palette, glowing colored window outlines, the zoom through the dock reveal, and 3D device frames floating on a starfield.
