Corner Pin
The Corner Pin effect distorts a clip by changing the position of any of its four corners. Use it to stretch, shrink, skew, or twist a clip, or to simulate
perspective or movement that pivots from the edge of a layer, such as a door opening.

Lens Distortion (Windows only)
The Lens Distortion effect simulates a distorted lens through which the clip is viewed.
Changes the curvature of the lens. Specify a negative value to make the clip concave, or a positive value to make the clip convex.
Displaces the focal point of the lens, making the clip bend and smear. At extreme settings, the clip wraps in
on itself.
Creates a result similar to vertical and horizontal decentering, except that, at extreme values, the clip doesn’t
wrap in on itself.
Specifies the background color.
When selected, makes the background transparent so that underlying tracks are visible. To access this option from the
Applied Effects panel, click the Setup button to the right of the effect name.
Mirror
The Mirror effect creates a mirror image of the clip and places the center of its side at a pivot point you specify. You can make both the location of
the pivot point and the reflection angle change over time.
Setting the first value determines the horizontal location of the pivot point. Setting the second determines its vertical location.
Setting this value determines the angle at which the mirror image pivots at the pivot point.
Ripple (Windows only)
The Ripple effect produces an undulating pattern on a clip, like ripples on the surface of a pond. The shape, severity, and direction of the ripple
pattern are adjustable, as well as the background color.
