Easy Radial Lens Swirl Effect in After Effects (No Plugins!)

Here’s how to create a cinematic Radial Lens Swirl in After Effects — perfect for transitions, zooms, or stylized close-ups. 🎞️ Step-by-step: Select your clip and apply Radial Blur. Set the center point between your subject’s eyes. Adjust the amount (around 7.5 works great). Animate the center point to follow your subject for smooth motion. 🔥 Tip: Subtle motion blur adds realism — don’t overdo it. — 🎬 Created by Justin Serran (@JustinSerran) ⚙️ Tools: Adobe After Effects 2025 #AfterEffects #VideoEditing #VFX #MotionDesign #AETutorial 🎬 My Favorite Creator Tools – Affiliate Links(Clicking these helps support the channel at no extra cost to you!) 🔹 Adobe Creative Cloud (3 Months 50% Off) – https://adobe.prf.hn/click/camref:101... 🔹 Adobe Podcast: https://adobe.prf.hn/click/camref:101... 🔹 InVideo AI - https://invideo.io/i/JustinSerran 🔹 Luma Labs - https://lumalabsai.partnerlinks.io/c4... 🔹 Happy Editing (50% OFF) – https://happy-editing.peachs.co/a/jus... 🔹 Fredpelle Plugins For AE - https://fredpelle.tv/?ref=hftcqhun🔹 FX Seeker – https://www.fx-seeker.com/?ref=justin...
