How To Use Lense Flare and Twirl

Video By: Kayla and Hayley

For Lens Flare:
Go to "Generate" from the video effects
Drag the effect over/to the clip in the timeline
Go to "Effect Controls"
Set your "Flare Center" at 288.0 and 192.0
Set "Flare Brightness" at 39%
"Lense Type" at 30-500mm zoom
"Blend With" 100%

For Twirl:
Go to "Distort" in the video effects
Drag the effect over/to the clip in the timeline
Go to "Effect Controls"
Set "Angle" at 1*75 degrees
Set twirl radius at 35.0
Set "Twirl Radius" at 358.0 and 221.0 These effects look quite ridiculous and in most cases, you probably won't want to use them if you are trying to convey a serious message. They are more fun and casual effects that maybe would be cool in a commercial or music video, something that is meant to be a little off of the wall and very abstract. Even with its ridiculous qualities, it was still fun to experiment with and push the limits. Normally, this would be much more reserved.
