motion tile help

hi, im having a few problems with the motion tile effect on after affects, ill send a picture below.

how can i make it so that the tiles effect is directly next to my original picture without the black spaces?

Adjust the tile width and height parameters or "crop" the image by putting it in a suitably sized pre-composition. Basic AE stuff. You may want to read the online help.

hi, i've done both of the things you said and there is still a large black space between the tiles and the actual photo 😕

you have to pre-compose the clip/picture you have motion tile on, then open the pre-comp (double click) and increase the scale. I hope it’s understandable 🙂
