[doyal gudgel] "I want it to turn and as it turns reduce the swirl effect, The first time I added a swirl It turned like a disc but I don't remember what I did to get the effect."
Perhaps you use Pan/Crop to rotate the frame as you applied the swirl?
[doyal gudgel] " When it turns the swirl gets less and less until it is original picture. I thought this was the primary reason for a swirl."
Yes, and that's what happens when you keyframe the
Amount parameter to go from 1.0 to 0.0 as I suggested in my original reply. Did you try that?
