Twists the layer around the effect’s center point. The center point stays in place, while the pixels at the edge of the radius are distorted by the angle you choose.

  • Angle: Sets the number of degrees by which the area inside the radius will be rotated.
  • Center: By default the twirl is centered in the frame, but you can reposition the center if you wish.
    • Position: Sets the exact location of the effect center, using X and Y values.
    • Use Layer: Select any other layer on the timeline to use it’s position as the center of the effect. When a layer is selected, the Position property above functions as an offset from the selected layer’s position.
  • Radius: Determines the distance from the center point to which the distortion will extend.
  • Wrap: Controls how the distortion will be wrapped when it reaches the edge of the frame.
    • No: No wrapping is applied.
    • Tiled: A second identical copy of the image is used alongside the original to fill the wrapped area.
    • Reflection: A mirrored copy is used alongside the original to fill the wrapped area.
