DistortoMatic - Five effects in one package.

These effects work with any source, text, or movie. To try them yourself, download the demo plug-in.

You can use the DistortoMatic effects to subtly change a shot or to provide total distortion.
Bump. Causes a raised or lowered bump on the screen. The size, height, and location are all adjustable.

Pinch. Similar to bump but pinched to a point instead of a bump. The size, height, and location are all adjustable.

Torus. Places a doughnut-shaped lens over the picture. The location, size, width, and refractive properties of the lens are adjustable.

Twirl. Causes the picture to twirl around a point. The size of the effected area, the degree of rotation, and the location of the center are all adjustable.

Vortex. Similar to Twirl, but with a much tighter radius of rotation. Again, the size of the effected area, the degree of rotation, and the location of the center are all adjustable.

Here are some key features of "DistortoMatic":
