Understand Distortion effects in Premiere Pro that let you stretch, twist, and reshape video for creative edits or quick fixes.
Corner Pin effect
The effect distorts an image by shifting its four corners. Use it to stretch, shrink, skew, twist, or mimic perspective and hinged motion like a door opening.
Lens Distortion effect
The Lens Distortion effect simulates a distorted lens through which the clip is viewed.
Magnify effect
The effect lets you enlarge all or part of an image, like using a magnifying glass, or scale the whole image beyond 100% without losing quality.
Mirror effect
The Mirror effect splits the image along a line and reflects one side onto the other.
Offset effect
The Offset effect pans the image within a clip. Visual information pushed off one side of the image appears on the opposite side.
Rolling Shutter Repair effect
The effect fixes wobbly or slanted footage caused by camera shake.
Spherize effect
The Spherize effect distorts a layer by wrapping a region of the image onto a sphere.
Turbulent Displace effect
The Turbulent Displace effect uses fractal noise to create turbulent distortions in an image. For example, use it to create flowing water, funhouse mirrors, and waving flags.
Twirl effect
The Twirl effect distorts an image by rotating a clip around its center. The image is distorted more sharply in its center than at the edges, causing a whirlpool result at extreme settings.
Warp Stabilizer effect
The effect reduces shaky camera motion, making footage look smoother and more stable. It analyzes the clip, then adjusts position, scale, rotation, or perspective to steady the shot while preserving the action.
Wave Warp effect
The Wave Warp effect produces the appearance of a wave traveling across an image. You can produce a variety of different wave shapes, including square, circular, and sine waves. The Wave Warp effect is automatically animated at a constant speed across the time range (without keyframes). To vary speeds, you need to set keyframes.
