The X-Ray Hit Effect: Make It in One Claude Chat With Runway (Full Prompt)

The viral x-ray hit, made without leaving the chat. Connect Runway to Claude with one link, right from your phone, then drop in your clip and paste this prompt. Claude pulls the exact frame, GPT Image 2.5 on Runway turns it into a real x-ray, and Claude builds the hit with tracking boxes. Here's the setup and the full prompt, with what I got on my own clips.

The walkthrough

Step 01 / 06

Connect Runway to Claude from your phone

Open the Claude app, go to Settings, then Connectors, and tap the + at the top right. Add a custom connector named Runway, paste the link below as the server URL, then select Connect and sign in to your Runway account. You don't need an API key. Once connected, Runway shows up in your Connectors list. Generations through the connector use your normal Runway credits, and Explore Mode isn't available this way. On the desktop app, the same page is under Customize, then Connectors.

Make the x-ray hit effect on the clip I attached, right here in this chat. Use my Runway connector for the image. Don't send me to any other app. 1. Find the strongest moment in the clip. Pull that exact frame at full resolution with ffmpeg and show it to me. 2. Upload the frame to Runway with the connector. Run generate_image with model gpt-image-2.5-sunburst, the same aspect ratio as my clip, imageSize 2K, count 2, the frame as the reference tagged "frame", and this prompt, filling in the brackets from what's in my frame: "Edit @frame. Keep the exact camera, framing, pose, clothes and background layout pixel for pixel. Turn the whole image into a real x-ray on a cold blue-grey film: the outer surfaces become faint translucent grey shells, and inside them you see [for a person: a realistic human skeleton in the same pose, skull with teeth, spine, ribs and all the hand bones. For a car or product: the real machinery inside it] in bright white. The background stays as ghostly thin x-ray outlines. Photoreal radiograph with soft grainy falloff, not an illustration, no glow outlines, no text, no logos." 3. Download both takes, show them to me side by side, and wait for me to pick one. 4. Then build the hit with Python and OpenCV, at 30 fps: - Track 5 points on the subject through the clip with Lucas-Kanade optical flow, from the hit frame backwards and forwards. - Before the hit: drain the colour to black and white over the last 0.7 s, and fade in corner-bracket boxes on the tracked points over the last 0.5 s, joined by dashed lines, each with a small live coordinate label. Use #D4FB47. - The hit, frozen on the hit frame: 1 frame white flash, 2 frames negative, 8 frames x-ray, 2 frames negative, 6 frames x-ray, 1 frame white flash, with a slow push-in and light film grain on the x-ray. - After the hit: back to full colour, moving again, while the boxes fade out over 0.45 s. 5. Render it next to my clip as <name>-xray.mp4, keep the clip's original audio if it has any, and show me the video here. Tell me how many Runway credits this used.
