The Twirl effect creates a spiral distortion similar to stirring a liquid or a vortex effect.

How it works

Twirl works by rotating pixels around a defined center point. The amount of rotation increases with the distance from the center, creating a spiral pattern. This creates a swirling distortion that’s strongest at the edges and gradually diminishes toward the center point.

Use cases

  • Creating vortex or whirlpool effects
  • Simulating liquid stirring or spinning motion
  • Strong frame-to-frame transitions

For a more natural-looking twirl, place the center point on the subject or area you want to emphasize.
