How it works

1. Load the included workflow and select your starting image and installed model files.
2. Describe which parts separate, what they reveal, and how the camera moves.
3. Generate the video with XPLDV at strength 0.5.

XPLDV works best with ltx-2.5-22b-distilled-transformer-bf16.safetensors. It can also be used with ltx-2.5-22b-dev-transformer-bf16.safetensors, which it was trained on. The included workflow uses the distilled model. Base models: Lightricks/LTX-2.5.

Prompt

An open laptop separates into an ordered exploded view while resting stationary on the wooden table. The complete display assembly lifts free of its hinge mounts and translates upward and backward, keeping the screen, bezel and rear cover together at the original open angle, with a clear air gap between the display and the rear edge of the base. The entire keyboard and trackpad deck, including all keys and the palm rest, detaches and translates straight upward as one flat horizontal assembly. It rises high above the lower case, exposing the circuit board and cooling system toward the back and the flat battery pack beneath the palm rest. These exterior parts move first and travel furthest, leaving generous open gaps around the internal assemblies. One compact circuit board with its chips, cooling fans and metal heat pipes rises beneath the keyboard deck, with all of these components remaining mounted together as a single assembly. The flat dark battery cells remain joined as one battery pack and translate upward and slightly forward from the front portion of the lower case, exposing the shallow battery compartment and mounting points underneath. The remaining lower case is one empty shallow metal tray resting on the tabletop. The raised keyboard deck, circuit board and battery pack occupy three separate horizontal levels with broad bands of open air between them; the upright display is positioned behind the stack and the empty lower tray stays beneath it. Each of the five major assemblies retains its original shape as the layers settle into an organized arrangement and hold steady. The camera slowly orbits to the right around the laptop from the starting three-quarter view, keeping the full expanded arrangement visible. The soft daylight remains consistent throughout one continuous shot.

Prompt

The desktop computer tower separates into an ordered exploded view. The glass side panel, front panel, top cover and lower power-supply cover move outward along controlled paths, revealing the motherboard, graphics card, liquid-cooling assembly and power supply. The components separate into an organized layered arrangement around the case while retaining their original shapes. The case base stays on the desk. The camera slowly orbits to the right around the computer from the starting three-quarter view. The blue-white computer lighting and surrounding room remain consistent throughout the continuous shot.

Prompt

A black SUV keeps driving down the highway as it separates into an ordered exploded view. The hood and roof lift into separate horizontal layers; the four doors slide sideways; the front bumper and grille slide forward; the four wheels slide outward along their axles while spinning. These exterior parts move first and travel furthest along controlled paths, revealing the chassis, SUV V6 engine block, steering column and front and rear seats, all remaining assembled in their original positions. Each detached component keeps its shape in a clearly spaced suspended arrangement around this exposed core, and the entire arrangement travels forward together. The camera tracks alongside at matching speed as the road and guardrail flow backward continuously. Warm sunlight remains consistent.

Prompt

A luxury automatic mechanical wristwatch separates into an ordered exploded view while resting stationary on its dark velvet display cushion. The front sapphire crystal and surrounding polished bezel rim detach as a single unit and translate forward and slightly upward, keeping its circular orientation facing the camera. The hour, minute, and slender seconds hands lift cleanly above the dial plane, each translating upward along its own short vertical path with slight lateral spacing between them. The main dial plate carrying its applied hour markers, subdial components, and open-heart cutout details moves forward a shorter distance than the crystal, creating a clear gap between it and the hands above. These exterior parts move first and travel furthest, leaving generous gaps between each successive layer. They reveal the mechanical movement at the center of the stack—its polished bridges, interlocking gears, escapement fork, oscillating balance wheel, ruby jewels, and complication modules all visible in their assembled configuration—with the rear exhibition caseback and its oscillating automatic rotor translating backward and slightly downward as the final layer. The movement's bridges, gears, and escapement remain mounted together as a single mechanical unit. Each detached section retains its original shape as the five layers settle into an organized axial arrangement and hold steady. A slow, steady camera pull-back provides room for the full expanded stack. The soft upper-left key light, cool right-side fill, and subtle rim highlight consistent with the source image continue through one continuous shot.

Prompt

The two-story house separates into an ordered exploded view. The main roof and garage roof lift straight upward and remain suspended above the building. The front door, garage door and individual window units move forward out of their openings; the exterior wall panels slide sideways and forward away from the house. These exterior parts move first and travel furthest along controlled paths, exposing one continuous timber frame with vertical studs, horizontal beams, floor joists, roof trusses and the interior staircase. The timber frame and foundation remain assembled in their original positions. The detached roofs, wall panels, doors and windows retain their original shapes in a clearly spaced suspended arrangement around the exposed frame. The camera slowly pulls back to keep the entire arrangement visible while the dusk lighting, garden and neighboring houses remain consistent throughout the continuous shot.

Prompt

The single-engine fighter jet separates into an ordered exploded view while its landing gear remains planted on the runway. The nose radome slides straight forward along the aircraft centreline, revealing a circular radar antenna in the nose and compact avionics boxes immediately behind it. The clear canopy lifts upward, exposing the single ejection seat and instrument panel in the cockpit. Upper fuselage skin panels rise in separate sections, and the two wing assemblies translate sideways while remaining level. These exterior components move first and travel furthest, opening clear gaps around the internal airframe. One cylindrical turbofan engine remains mounted lengthwise in the central rear fuselage behind the cockpit, with metallic compressor casing and turbine sections visible. The cockpit, intake duct, fuselage ribs and landing-gear supports stay assembled in their original positions. Each detached section retains its shape as the arrangement settles and holds steady. The camera slowly pulls back in the original three-quarter view, keeping the whole aircraft visible under consistent sunset light.

Watch the example

Replace the brackets with your subject and its parts; omit clauses that do not apply to the intended shot. Name the final arrangement: a vertical stack, a horizontal row, or a radial arrangement around the center. Use “layered” for an actual stack. Describe timing consistently: parts move at the same time or in a clear sequence. For a moving subject, keep the detached parts traveling with it. Give the camera enough room for the expanded arrangement.

Audio is optional. Add sound effects, ambience, music, or dialogue in a final sentence and keep the audio pipeline connected. Audio wording can influence the visual action.

See the prompt guide for a short walkthrough and troubleshooting tips.

Limitations and tips

• Hidden construction is imagined by the model. Detailed-looking internals may be inaccurate or misplaced.
• Parts can merge, duplicate, bend, or lose their identity. Start with a few major assemblies and give them distinct movement paths.
• Background objects, text, and camera framing can change. Leave room around the subject and check the full clip.
• Review new images and seeds individually. The settings above are a starting point, and stronger LoRA influence is not always an improvement.
