AI prompt behind the Screen Smash effect

This is the exact prompt template Swoopen sends to the AI video model when you use the Screen Smash effect. You can study it, tweak it, or copy it into your own workflow.

The subject from the reference photo starts firmly anchored, standing in a brightly lit modern room facing directly at the camera. The camera remains completely locked in a single continuous take. The subject reels back and playfully throws a punch straight into the camera lens. An invisible glass screen immediately shatters outward into hundreds of crystalline, slow-motion shards that float weightlessly toward the viewer. The subject remains completely unchanged in identity and clothing, smiling and waving from behind the beautiful floating glass debris. Audio: energetic bass drop followed by the crisp sound of shattering glass and upbeat ambient music.
