Creating a ripple effect
The Matrox ripple effect lets you create 3D ripple patterns that simulate a flag
waving, ripples in a pond, or a dream sequence.

X Center Sets the center position of the ripple along the horizontal axis.

Center Ripple in Crop Region Select this option to move the center
position of the ripple to the center of your crop region.

Progression Sets the progression of your ripple pattern at any keyframe.
In order to see your ripple pattern progress you need to apply at least two
keyframes to your clip. For example, create a keyframe at the first frame of
your clip with
Progression set to 0 degrees, and another keyframe at the
last frame of your clip with Progression set to 45 degrees. For information
about creating keyframes, see your Adobe Premiere Pro documentation.
