What is the explosion effect?
Cinematic blast with shockwave and debris.
Destruction effects need the subject to stay recognisable while it comes apart, which is why they work best from a clean, well-lit source image.

Explosion — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a explosion effect?
Cinematic blast with shockwave and debris. Destruction effects need the subject to stay recognisable while it comes apart, which is why they work best from a clean, well-lit source image.
How do I create a explosion effect without a camera crew?
Open the Explosion preset in Visualix AI, upload the image you want to animate, and generate. The preset carries a tuned instruction set that is composed into the request server-side, so you do not have to write the effect description yourself.
Which AI models support Explosion?
Every video model in the catalogue can run it, but Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0 Omni and Runway Gen-4.5 handle this one best and are what the preset defaults to. The cheapest of those is Seedance 2.0 at 48 credits for a 5-second clip.
Do I need an image, or can I start from text?
Explosion defaults to image-to-video because the effect needs a fixed subject to work against, and starting from your own image gives a far more predictable result. You can still run it text-to-video if you would rather describe the scene.
How much does one explosion generation cost?
From 48 credits for a 5-second clip on Seedance 2.0. Presets themselves are free — you pay only the model's generation cost, which is printed on the Generate button before you commit. Failed generations refund automatically.
