how to make CC bend it work

[Suraiya A]

hello,

So, almost all the famous tutorials I have watched about this very effect on youtube. In those tutorials their bend works just fine. One particular tutorial shows the problem I faced and they gave the solution too. To put an expression- "tocomp(value)" in the Start and End, and then keyframe CCbend it. I follow them verbatim But no way I can achieve what I want to.

Why my art work gets invisible after a certain point? How can I get rid of it? Please guide me.

You may need to pre-compose the flower due to how distortion effects work. Also set the distort option to expand the borders automatically to avoid content getting clipped.
