Shatter & Rewind
A shatter and rewind text effect: a chrome word cracks, bursts into spinning 3D glass shards in slow motion, then rewinds as every piece flies back into place. Big impact for trailers, game titles and launch teasers.

Tool-agnosticShatter [TEXT] like glass and rewind it. Set the word huge in a heavy, wide all-caps display face with a chrome finish (bright top, dark horizon line through the middle, bright bottom) on a deep teal-black background. A sheen glides across it. Then an impact hits one letter: a radial spiderweb crack races across the word, and it bursts into triangular shards that fly toward the camera, tumbling in 3D with perspective, lit faces flashing pale and backs going dark, glass dust drifting, slowing almost to a stop. Then everything rewinds: the shards accelerate back along their paths and snap together, the cracks heal and a thin shock ring ripples out. A small mono readout switches between PLAY and REWIND, its timecode running backwards. Loop.
