barrelDistortion()v4.0.466

Part of the @remotion/effects package.

A barrel distortion effect that bends canvas-based components such as <Video>, <HtmlInCanvas> and <Solid>.

It only applies geometric curvature. It does not add scanlines, blur, glow, chromatic aberration, noise, vignette, or color changes.

Preview​

Drag current effect onto a layer in the Studio

Example​

MyComp.tsx
import {Video} from '@remotion/media';
import {barrelDistortion} from '@remotion/effects/barrel-distortion';

export const MyComp: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <>
      <Video
        src="https://remotion.media/video.mp4"
        effects={[
          barrelDistortion({
            amount: 0.25,
          }),
        ]}
      />
    </>
  );
};
