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

[My_Adobe_Premiere_11]

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..

I'll have to check out PrE 11, but I think that it has the same Rotational capabilities as PrPro has, where you can have the Rotation occur many times, say by plugging in 3x in the attributes area.

Steve probably knows this, without looking, and will beat me to the answer...

Good luck,

Hunt

Hi Hunt. I'm such a novice, especially compared to you guys. BTW, I don't see an "Attributes Area" when I bring up the various adjustment settings (Motion, Opacity, Twirl) on the Twirl (Distort choice) effect.

Were you looking for a spinning globe type effect similar to what I created in this demo for a how to on the subject.

Or is what you seek just

I want the magician's face to appear, and then spin

For Premiere Elements 11

Hunt's Attributes area = Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel and Opacity Panel (as the default panels).

When you expand the Motion Panel there, you will find the properties of Postion, Scale, and Rotation.

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?

I'll try to see your YouTube instructional video again. The spinning face will only last for about one second, or so, and will happen only one time in the music video.

I will work on this later today and get you a sample of the results with how to instructions to follow if you like the look of it.

Thanks for the follow ups.

Add On...Do you have Photoshop Elements 11 as well as Premiere Elements 11?

Hello,

Sorry to revive an old thread. but is there a good tutorial on this somewhere?

The effect I am looking for specifically, is as seen in the attached video as of 0:28.

The video does not load. best is to give a link to a youtube example.

Here is a direct link to the dailymotion video:

That needs some work but you can draw an oval (actually half an oval to make the illusion the oval is under the player) and keyframe the position about every so often frame.

[Steve Grisetti]

Rotating your clip won't make it spin, MyAdobe. You need to create the animation of the spin using keyframes.

[My_Adobe_Premiere_11]

Hi Steve. Just don't know how to get that spinning effect, when I would add a keyframe.

[Steve Grisetti]

I've got a free tutorial called Basic Keyframing on my website, Muvipix.com. Once you understand how keyframing works, it should be clear how to apply it to Rotation.
