Why it works

Graphics appear only on key action frames such as a tap or a successful payment, which marks the key moments of the product. The fragments share shapes and colors with the maps and feature cards used elsewhere in the film. The confirmation icon has thickness and highlights that contrast in material with the flat interface, and the expanding outline reuses the same shape.

Spec

Timing
Film 11s. Keypad taps at 1.0, 1.22, 1.44 and 1.66s; fragment burst on the Review tap at 2.65s (expand 0.3s, drift to 0.64s, fade 0.64-0.8s); review screen takes over at 3.0s; Pay tap at 5.1s, button disabled state 5.1-5.3s, icon pops at 5.45s (scale 0.6 to 1.1 in 0.28s, to 1.0 in 0.24s), outline ring 0.6s in parallel; phone leaves 8.0s; wordmark 8.45s
Easing
Fragments expand expo.out 0.3s, then drift linearly 12px over 0.5s and fade power1.in 0.16s; icon scale power3.out 0.6 to 1.1, then power2.inOut 1.1 to 1.0; outline scale power2.out 1 to 3 and opacity power2.in 0.6 to 0 over 0.6s; check stroke power2.out 0.24s; button disable power1.out 0.2s
Camera
Not fixed: slow push 1.18 to 1.215 until 1.9s, then an expo.out push to 1.7 anchored on the Review button (0.6s from 2.0s) so the burst fills the lower frame; pull-back to 1.42 at 3.0s (0.9s), drift to 1.5 by 5.25s, 1.3 at 5.53s (1.0s) drifting to 1.36. A 54px touch indicator travels to each target and presses (scale 0.78 in 0.06-0.07s, back in 0.14-0.16s)
Subject
Burst: 6 elements leave the tap point upward and sideways at angles -26, -78, -156, -128, -52 and -104 degrees: a white line with navy outline, a navy line, a blue line, a navy wavy line, a white dot and a blue square, travelling 96-120px (about 20% of frame height at camera scale 1.7). Icon: after the Pay button turns into a disabled Sending state with a spinner, a 132px scalloped blue seal with gradient, inner highlight and shadow and a white check stroke pops in with a same-shape outline expanding behind it
Sync
The burst and the button press (scale 0.965) share the tap frame at 2.65s and the review screen takes over 0.35s later; for the icon, the disabled state starts on the tap at 5.1s and the icon pops 0.35s later, with the same button turning into Done on that frame
Style
Navy backdrop #0b1b6a with blurred bank notification cards (fade out at 8.0s), white phone UI, brand blue #1e45d6 and fragments in navy #0b1b6a, blue #2a58ee and white; icon gradient #86a4ff to #1530b4; wordmark Inter 700 168px, letter-spacing -0.055em, white

Prompt

Emphasize a successful tap with a shot called Confirmation Burst, 11s, on a phone money-transfer UI over a navy backdrop (#0b1b6a) with blurred notification cards. Tap the keypad at 1.0, 1.22, 1.44 and 1.66s, then push the camera with expo.out to 1.7 anchored on the Review button (0.6s from 2.0s). On the tap frame at 2.65s, press the button to 0.965 and a 54px touch indicator to 0.78, and send 6 elements from the contact point upward and sideways at angles -26, -78, -156, -128, -52 and -104 degrees: a white line with a navy outline, a navy line, a blue line, a navy wavy line, a white dot and a blue square rotating 45 to 135 degrees. They expand 96-120px (about 20% of frame height) over 0.3s with expo.out, drift 12px more over 0.5s, and fade over 0.16s from 0.64s. Switch to the review screen 0.35s later. Icon version: at the Pay tap (5.1s) fade the button to a disabled Sending state with a spinner over 0.2s with power1.out, hold 0.15s, then pop a 132px scalloped blue seal (gradient #86a4ff to #1530b4, inner highlight and shadow, white check stroke drawn in 0.24s) from scale 0.6 to 1.1 with power3.out over 0.28s and back to 1.0 with power2.inOut over 0.24s, while an outline of the same shape goes scale 1 to 3 with power2.out and opacity 0.6 to 0 with power2.in over 0.6s, the same button turning into Done. Take the phone out at 8.0s and bring in a white Finch wordmark lockup at 8.45s.

People describe it as

  • A burst of small shapes around the spot you tap
  • Lines, squares, and dots pop out when a payment succeeds
  • The confirmation icon pops and a ring of outline spreads out

Often confused with

  • Map Pin DropMap Pin Drop's fragments appear at the pin's landing position; Confirmation Burst's fragments appear at the tap contact point.
  • Match CutMatch Cut swaps the whole object for another; Confirmation Burst only overlays feedback graphics on the existing picture.
