Been trying to figure this out for hours, looked at time remapping, linear keyframes, with no luck. This is perfect, thanks for sharing. Subscribed!

[@iridescentsea3730]

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

[@CampKeyframetutorials]

Thanks you for the kind words :)

[@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!

[@petersolomon5227]

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.

Amazing smooth tutorial ,
where to download those grass leaves

[@AliG-py4rv]

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.

[@kwentongeerie]

Cool.

[@teenadoodles]

Hi! Thanks for the tutorial, can you please let me know if it's possible to ad that wavy feel in it? now it is looking a little stiff when i am doing it.

[@johnjwa8584]

I'm trying to make this work within a pre-comp - but when I active the 'continuously rasterise' button on the pre-comp,. the elements I have Bend It applied to disappear! Any ideas why?

[@Cebok_barengan]

FYI in AE CS6 use only single quotation marks I.E loopOut('pingpong')

You are great bro
Plz make tutorials on illustrator
Plz plz

hello there, can you explain to me how to move a flower parent to leaf if the leaf was i created use effect bend?

[@oneavinashkumar]

Nice tutorial ! Please include any expreessions if you are using in the description :)
loopOut("pingpong")

[@ericsangiorgi3992]

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

[@CampKeyframetutorials]

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

[@jacobshockley8310]

What if I need to bend an object that is curved? Will CC bend it work on that as well?

[@MuteebAli-es6io]

Congratulations

[@user-nc9uq5vy1j]

This is great! is there any way to make this pingpong to a natural organic stop ?

[@imeenakshiiyer]

Can you explain how to do this in premier pro?

[@xx_mikyackerman5024]

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!)
Cheers! :)

[@judrebtchinsky]

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

[@artakturner]

*If in your extensions you don't show pingpong, you just need to add one symbol loopOut('p) and profit!*

[@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.

[@losjk]

when i'm trying to bend my leaf, it crops it where the "layer" ends, how can i make the branches layers bigger?

[@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 :)

[@losjk]

@@CampKeyframetutorials It worked like magic, thank you so much! Before seeing your reply I precomposed everything and changed the precomposition's width and height and it worked too

[@agustinalorenzo2408]

@@losjk Great! THANK YOU! Had the same problem.

[@asifmonir2296]

please explain more about expression or just show us the shortcut.

[@papercranegirl3110]

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 :)

@@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!

[@AhmadKadi10]

This effect is really nice.. But on some objects the effect is crops parts of the object.. Or break it even if I used (Grow Bounds) effect.. Any suggestions?

[@CampKeyframetutorials]

Yeah that happens sometimes, you'll need to make sure to put the anchor points of the CC Bend it effect in the right place. If that doesn't work, you can try with turning on or off 'continuously rasterize' (The little star icon in the timeline)
