Laser-cut titanium card
A laser cut metal card animation: a beam cuts, engraves and drops a black titanium card. Copy the prompt into Claude, edit it and render the MP4 free.
A slab of black titanium floats over a grey seamless. A laser pierces it with a spark splash, races round the card outline and a chip window, and the card drops free in slow motion. Glowing glyphs are engraved, a thermal window shows them cooling, and the card lands on a mirror.
Change the engraved brand and card number, the hook, drop and landing headlines, thermal orange, blue and amber colours, and the studio backdrop. The silent 9:16, 12-second film suits card, fintech and metal-goods launches on Reels and Shorts.

What's in the scene
- A, 0 to 2 s, hook. 3/4 front, about 21 degrees up, pushing in while tracking the beam. Pierce at 0.30 with a spark splash, then the beam runs along…
- B, 2 to 3 s. Low from the far end: the beam races toward the lens, molten spray pours from under the kerf, the glowing cut recedes behind.
- C, 3 to 3.8 s. Near top-down. The outline glows cooling red, the beam cuts the chip window and the plug falls at 3.66. The overhead soft box slides across…
- D, 3.8 to 5 s. From under the slab. The outline closes at 4.34 with a burst; from 4.40 time runs at 0.2x and the card falls toward the lens…
- E, 5 to 6.6 s. Card on the seamless, near top-down push. The gold chip drops in and clicks at 5.22. The engraver traces a large tilted orbit ellipse, then…
- F, 6.6 to 8 s. Raking low across the number with a lateral drift. A thermal window sweeps in at 6.82; the glyphs cool from orange to blue-black while its…
- G, 8 to 10 s. Low on a mirror floor. The card tumbles in slow motion, hits corner first at 9.15 and slaps flat at 9.27 with a two-frame shake…
- H1, 10 to 10.85 s. Macro, 22 degree fov: the brushed edge fills the lower third, a hard strip travels along it, the chip soft behind.
- H2, 10.85 to 12 s. Hero 3/4, a strip rakes across the black face and leaves a bright rim by 11.6. [brand] in 190 px wide-tracked caps from 11.0 to…
- Work in millimetres: slab 82 x 116 x 1.2, card 54 x 85.6 x 1.2 with 3.18 corners, chip window 10.8 x 12.4. Extrude rounded rectangles with a 0.18 mm…
Light, camera and post
- Procedural environment map: near-black room, hot overhead card, two hard vertical strips. Rotate it per shot against the camera yaw so a strip lands on the face or edge, and…
- 4x MSAA half-float target. Adaptive motion blur: project probe points at both shutter ends and take up to 24 sub-frames, with a shorter shutter in slow motion.
- Spiral-kernel gather depth of field with separate near and far fields, focused per shot. Gentle bloom.
- Composite by hand: grey seamless with a soft vignette, a tight contact shadow plus a soft cast shadow, ACES on the objects, screen-blended glow, mid-tone film grain.
- Mirror floor: render the card mirrored with a clip plane and blur it more with distance from the contact line.
How the prompt opens
Make a silent 12-second, 9:16 (1080x1920), 30 fps product film in Three.js. A slab of black titanium floats over a soft grey studio seamless. A laser pierces it, races round a card outline and a chip window, and the card drops free in slow motion. An engraver burns [your brand, e.g. an invented card company called ORBIT] and [your card number] into it in glowing orange, a thermal-camera window shows the glyphs cooling, and the card lands on a mirror with real weight. Every frame is a pure function of time, driven by one paused GSAP timeline.
