AI prompt behind the Smooth Glide effect
This is the exact prompt template Swoopen sends to the AI video model when you use the Smooth Glide effect. You can study it, tweak it, or copy it into your own workflow.
The subject from the reference photo starts standing perfectly still on a solid floor. Without moving their legs or taking any steps, the subject smoothly and magically glides horizontally across the scene, as if riding an invisible hoverboard or conveyor belt. The camera performs a steady, continuous horizontal tracking shot to keep the subject centered while the background seamlessly slides by. The subject maintains a cool, confident expression the entire time. The video ends with the gliding coming to a smooth halt. Audio expectation: Upbeat, trendy hip-hop instrumental with a smooth bassline.
