Absolutely incredible. This was so helpful; I had no idea about these tools, and you explained everything in such a clear and concise manner.

[@dariusricky4552]

i guess im asking randomly but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me

[@erikroyce6949]

@Darius Ricky instablaster =)

[@dariusricky4552]

@Erik Royce i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@dariusricky4552]

@Erik Royce WTF IT ACTUALLY WORKED! I literally got access to my Instagram password after about 30 mins of using the site.
Had to pay 15 bucks but for sure worth the money =)
Thank you so much, you really help me out!

A video pixel bend plugin was available in recent years from a third party vendor. However, it’s useful that Adobe have included this in After Effects.

Thanks so much! Question: When I bend my branches, the bounding box around the layer cuts off the shape. When it bends outside of the bounding box, the branch disappears. Any thoughts on why this is happening or how I can fix it? Thanks!

[@CampKeyframetutorials]

Hey! Did you check the 'Continuously Rasterize' button on your layer? It's the little star icon next to the 'Hide' button on your layers. Let me know if this works :)

[@davidadhim]

@@CampKeyframetutorials hey man, i thinks isn't work with jpg/png layer. it's only work for shape layer.

[@hslhsl8411]

@@davidadhim Of course- maybe try some bezier warp to get this effect on a rasterized image.

[@zetazeta1422]

For images it's better to use CC Bender effect. It works exactly the same, you can follow this tutorial as well.

[@JesusVetia]

@@zetazeta1422 Thank you! I was going crazy trying to do it with a png!

I'm having a hard time with this.. The start and end point are correct in my object and I can see it whole, but when I bend, it crops as soon as it finds the end of the object "layer".. Does this make sense? How do I fix that? It's not happening in yours

This was just what I needed, thank you! Any idea why my comp won't play beyond 30 seconds though? I'd like the loop to play for 2 minutes but it won't render and playback beyond 30 seconds? Thanks.

[@chaddisfaction]

Any tips for why when my illustration bends, it then disappears out of its bounding box? I'm animating swaying sunflowers, but my bounding box is almost acting as a mask once it bends outside of it. I feel like I'm missing something. That said, great tutorial! I think this will work great once I figure out this issue.

question: what effect did you use to make that background? is that some kind of repeater on a circle shape?

The background I created by just copying a whole bunch of circles in Illustrator, so just hand work unfortunately ;)

Awesome toutorial thank you so much! Also, I wanted to ask you if you use Adobe After effects cc or cs6, I still don't have after effects so I don't know how to say which is which, if you could suggest me which one to take it would be awesome, thank you again!
Ps : sorry for my bad English 😅

[@CampKeyframetutorials]

Hey! Thanks :) I use CC 2019. I recommend you use Adobe CC for all your Adobe needs. This is a subscription model so you pay every month but you get acces to a lot of software and it is always easy to update everything. This way you will get the newest functions and tools :) (your English is pretty good btw!)
