What you will get

A slow-motion burst of coloured powder from a central point against a dark background, with billowing clouds, glittering particles and edge light on every grain.

Why it works

This is an abstract clip, so the prompt removes people and keeps one central burst against a dark background. Edge light catching every grain makes the powder glow and gives it depth. A locked camera lets the burst fill the frame on its own. The high-speed look turns a fast explosion into slow, billowing clouds, which is why it works as a transition in edits, as the tip suggests.

Common mistake

People or hands appear.

Fix: Keep the “no people” line, and repeat it if the tool adds figures into the cloud.

Also watch for
  • The colours blend into brown. Limit the colours to three that do not muddy each other, such as pink, yellow and blue.
  • The burst looks flat. Ask for depth, with some grains sharp near the camera and soft ones far away, and a bright edge light.
Try a variation: make a gold dust version

Ask for fine gold powder exploding in slow motion, with glitter sparkling against a deep black background.

Still not right? Add this and run it again
