If you can't afford to buy expensive tilt-shift lens to record one, you are still able to make a tilt-shift effect with Filmora easily. The Tilt-shift effect is often used to blur some part of your video clip, bringing an illusion of miniaturization to your video. Here is how to do it with Filmora.

  • There are two options you can choose: Tilt-Shift-Circle and Tilt-Shift-Linear. Let's say you would like to apply Tilt-Shift-Circle to the timeline.
  • After placing the Tilt-Shift-Circle effect above the video, you will see the result in the preview window. Double click the effect in the timeline to enter the Tilt-Shift-Circle setting interface. Here, you can drag the slider to adjust Tilt-Shift-Circle size, intensity and position easily.

3. Add Funny Face-Off Effect to Your Video
