How the Crush It effect works
Default: Veo 3.1 Lite, 4 seconds, 9:16, 320 credits (80 credits per second).
The hydraulic press trend works because the object deforms in a believable way, so pick things that would actually crush: a can, a fruit, a toy, a cake, a rubber duck. Glass and metal objects come out more like a cartoon squash than a real press video. Shoot the object straight on, at table height, with a plain background, so the press has a clear path down to it.
Crush It is written for objects, not people. For a soft version that works on pets and people, use Squish It.
Tips
- Use objects, not people.
- A clean table background works best.
