CC Bend It Erases Image

Try the Grow Bounds Effect. It is located in the Utils group.

Apply it to the layer and place it above the CC Bend It effects in the Effect Controls panel.

The effect only has one property Pixels. Raise it untl you bending layer no longer gets cut off.

Try pre-compose the layer with [Move all attributes to a new composition] then apply the effect to the precomposition, it worked for me

Search "grow bound" on effects & presets then apply it on the working layer and increse the pixel size of  "grow bound". Hope it will fix your problem.

Adjust the start and end points at the corners in opposite fashion so that it entirely fills up the image then it works properly

Add "Grow Bounds" effects to the related layer make it like 1000px.

Done. Great solution.

The CC Bend It effect affects the layer to its bounderies, so when you reach the end of the box of the layer, the image can´t go futher. You fix this by simply PRE-COMPOSE that layer. This way you can bend your layer to the limits of the Composition. PLUS ULTRA! 

While I agree that Puppet Pin is also a good tool for this, you just need to reposition the points of the effect to suit your current needs. A lot of effects will have a default setting that doesn't necessarily do what you want; it's up to you to craft it to suit your project.

Alternatively you could add this expression to the start and end points:

toComp(value)

When you add this you might notice the "anchor points" going outside the comp area so you just need to drag them again to whichever position you want.

Awesome Szalam! Thank you!!!!!!!!

Nothing unusual. CC Bend always affects the entire layer. You need to split out the trunk and adjust the start and end points accordingly or use otehr methods to begin with.
