"Twirl In" Tutorial Adobe

Image twirling – Adobe Premiere

I was going to put together a tutorial for you all about my application of my video, but lost my voice so that isn’t exactly help to you. Instead, I’ve put together some helpful steps below detailing how I edited my swirling rabbit hole video, as I was originally going to show you.

1.     Place your image into the sequence in the desired area. Go to the “Video Effects” section in the bottom left hand pane on the screen and drag the “Twirl In” effect onto the image.

2.     Next, you double click on the image and it will bring that up above the sequence. Go to the effect controls in the top left pane and it will bring up the same window in which you find the “Opacity Options.” You should see a tab for the “Twirl In” effect and should click the little triangle next to the words to open all of the editing options.

3.     If you were to make no edits, the image would remain a square and it would twirl into the center as seen above, showing the outside of the image first and slowly revealing the rest as it progresses. Below, you can see that the twirling will end at about half way through the image’s life in the project.

4.     When I was editing my rabbit hole picture, I played around with the twirl angle and twirl radius by dragging to two white buttons above. Instead of placing them in the same place, I dragged one to the left and the other to the right to give the distorted, fantasy-like twirling effect where the center moves before the edges.

5.     I also changed the twirl center to get the edges to move as seen below. If you leave it in the preset conditions, the image will remain a square throughout the entirety of it being shown.

6.     Note: I’ve found that the velocity above looks best when it is slower than 3 or 4/second.

If you have any questions or would like me to show you anything else regarding the twirl, feel free to let me know.
