I need to break a window ;), A problem with getting a nice and goodlooking effect. Options

[Wizeer]

In my WoW-machinima I need two windows to break in two different scenes and the program I´m using is Adobe Premiere Pro / Adobe Elements 3.0 so I aint got the shatter effect. Any tip of how I can make it?
(At the moment I´m doing it the easy way, not showing the breaking itself but the pieces of glass flying across the room, I want to show the viewers the shatter itself.)

Thanks for the help.

You probably have to animate this. You'd have more control over the direction of the glass if you animated it, anyway.

If you have photoshop(or even better, illustrator) then I suggest creating the individual pieces that will be breaking away using that.

Depending on the scene, you might be able to get away with showing a very quick radial wipe between an unbroken and a shattering piece of glass, and then cut to the flying pieces.

prefrably use a CC plugin that can break anything and you can modify their size ans stuff also i think you can use it in 3d.
