AI prompt behind the Time Freeze effect
This is the exact prompt template Swoopen sends to the AI video model when you use the Time Freeze effect. You can study it, tweak it, or copy it into your own workflow.
The subject from the reference photo starts standing firmly on a wet city sidewalk. The camera slowly pushes in on a single, continuous forward track with no cuts. Suddenly, a dramatic downpour of rain and blowing autumn leaves begins to fall, but within a second, all the raindrops and leaves completely freeze in mid-air, suspended in anti-gravity bullet time. The subject's identity and clothing remain perfectly preserved as they continue to walk smoothly forward, naturally stepping through the frozen drops and suspended leaves with a look of awe. Audio: a deep cinematic swoosh followed by dramatic, magical ambient music and the absolute silence of the frozen weather.
