Hello,

I applied bend on a layer and parented that to another layer. My knowledge tells me parenting controls movement of other layer/s as well. Then why tht's not happeing now. :'( I keep trying and trying nothing seems work.

Thank you (am using AE 2023)

Pre-Compose the stem with the flower before applying CC Bend:

1. Create a Comp with the flower and the stem named something like "pre_stem_and_flower".
2. Place the "pre_stem_and_flower" into a containing Comp named something like "stem_and_flower_bending".
3. In the Comp "stem_and_flower_bending" apply CC Bend to the nested Layer "pre_stem_and_flower".
