Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the question. I asked the Adobe Experts this question. It would be helpful to know precisely what you are trying to achieve. I hope that you get an answer from them shortly. Sorry for the frustration.

Cheers,
Kevin

You can try creating this with native tools in Premiere Pro:

1. Find and import an animated radial zoom
   
   • Example (free): Star Glow / Lens Flare (Pixabay)
   • Go to Graphics and Titles > New Layer > From File and choose the radial zoom file.
2. Create a circle mask
   
   • Select the graphic and in the Properties panel, draw a circle.
   • Turn off Fill, turn on Stroke.
   • Turn on Shadow, set Angle and Distance to 0, then increase Size to soften edges.
   • Turn on Mask with Shape to mask the radial zoom with the circle.
   • Animate the circle’s position slightly so the ring of light moves with the camera.
3. Adjust color, blur, and distortion
   
   • Add the ProcAmp effect and adjust the Hue until the radial zoom turns red.
   • Add Gaussian Blur to soften the image.
   • Add Lens Distortion and reduce Curvature to bend and stretch the circle.
4. Blend the graphic
   
   • In Effect Controls, set Opacity > Blend Mode to Screen.
5. Create additional colored rings
   
   • Duplicate the graphic to the next track.
   • In Lens Distortion, lower Curvature more to separate the rings.
   • In ProcAmp, adjust the Hue to green.
   • Duplicate again, lower the Curvature even more, and set the Hue to blue.
6. Add your footage and final effects
   
   • Place your footage on a track below the graphics.
   • (Optional) Add Lens Distortion to the footage and reduce Curvature for a wide-angle effect.
   • Add the Lens Flare effect and animate it slightly to move in sync with the graphics.

Can you share the link to the video so we can see the movement of the lens effect?

You could try this

With a bit of trial and error you could get the effect. From the look of the clip, it does look like an incamera effect
