Mirror effect (Reflect)

The mirror effect—also called a reflection filter—divides the video either vertically or horizontally and mirrors the selected section. This creates a symmetrical image effect that, depending on the orientation, reflects either the left and right or the top and bottom parts of the image. The effect can be used for both creative stylistic devices and optical illusions.
