DistortoMatic is a plugin suite for iMovie that provides an array of effects options to create visually impressive videos with distortion effects.
The software's key features include Bump, Pinch, Torus, Twirl, and Vortex. Bump creates a raised or lowered bump on the screen, and the size, height, and location are all adjustable. Pinch is similar to Bump but pinched to a point instead of a bump, and the same adjustments are possible. Torus creates a doughnut-shaped lens over the picture, enabling users to customize the location, size, width, and refractive properties of the lens. Twirl causes the picture to twirl around a point, and users can adjust the size of the affected area, the degree of rotation, and the location of the center. Vortex is similar to Twirl but with a much tighter radius of rotation, and users can adjust the same parameters.
All of the effects in DistortoMatic allow users to specify the point on the image where the effect will be centered. To select the center point, users can click on the small preview image, and when the cursor changes to crosshairs, click on the desired point.
To use DistortoMatic, users must have iMovie 4.0.1 or later, including iMovie HD. The plug-ins are demo versions, meaning that they are fully operational but leave a watermark on the image. Overall, DistortoMatic offers an impressive set of effects that can enhance any movie or video project.
