The most common 4th wall break in [[tennis]] is for the video to suddenly cut to the editor that the player is using to make said video.

# In your editor, get to the point where you want the break to occur. Then, either screen record or take a picture of what your editor window looks like.
# Most commonly at this point, you would zoom from the preview window to the whole editor. Then from there you can do basically whatever you want.
This is most commonly seen as a end-of-video gag or [[Cutoff Prevention]]. You also could go one step further and "jump" from one editor to another, zooming out from one then zooming into another on the desktop.
==Self-Commentary==
Simply talking about what's going on in the video, as simple as it may sound, is technically breaking the bounds of the video. Often this is seem to crack a joke (usually complaining about one's editor), and will last only for a frame or two.
