There are many attributes within the shatter effect you can play around with to get the effect you want.
I was trying to make another shatter effect happen after the first on the same image, so once one hole was blown out of it the whole thing would fall apart, one way of achieving this is to duplicate the layer and have another effect happen to it later in the video, you can change the size of the grey bar to choose the timeing and lenght of each layer.
You can click and drag on the parent symbol, (the spiral) join the line to the source name to parent layers.

To render go to Composition and press Add to Render Que. Then choose your render settings, output module settings and output to. Then press render. For some reason it only works if you stretch to 720 instead of 1080 which is just the resolution size.
Note: To choose when your layer shatters Add a gradient layer, key frame gradient in order to choose time of shatter during the video clip you are editing. Also make sure shatter is Rendered to the 'Layer' not 'All'.
