Question

How can I get the effect of spinning movement on a photo?

I am making a fun music video and am new to Adobe Premiere 11. I have a photo (of a magician) that I'd like to get the Effect of circular spinning movement. I tried "Twirl" in Effects, but no spinning happens. I want the magician's face to appear, and then spin, so I split the frame into 2 segments and tried several Effects on the 2nd segment, especially "Twirl", but no spinning happens. How can I get it to spin in rotation at that point? Help! Thanks.

    Select the clip on your timeline and click the Adjust button on the upper right of interface.

    In the Applied Effects panel, open Motion effects to reveal the Rotate property.

    If you apply keyframed animation to this effect, you'll get the spin you're trying for.

    Steve, thanks for your reply. I tried your suggestion but still am not getting the Effect I envision. When I adjust "Rotate", all that happens is the photo tilts, and holds in that position. But I'm hoping for an animated continuous spinning in that keyframe. Am I doing something wrong? I'm having a hard time adjusting the variojus settings in  "Twirl" effect..

    Hello A.T. Thanks. I got an error message when I tried to open your YouTube spinning globe effect, but that would be a great effect for me, if there was a way to see how to do it. I would most like the magician's head appear, and then spin (probably by splitting the frame (photo) with an added key frame and then apply the spinning effect there.

    Please try the YouTube link again. I have two spinning globe video samples on YouTube, the first is not working today, the other is.  The link that is in this post now is the one that is working. Please let me know if you continue to have problems with the link.

    Later today I will apply my video spinning techniques to a face instead of a globe and give you the details.

    How long in this video is the face's going to be spinning, and it is in only one instance in the movie?
