Guys is it possible to 'stretch' out a circle to a long rectangle with curved ends in AE

I tried doing this but I always get an oval shape circle but I want both sides to become longer and parallel while the top and bottom remain curved.

Is that possible?

Use a parametric rectangular Shape Layer. Keyframe Size and Roundness appropriately and you should be all set.
