Trying to wrap a label around a bottle

[nelsman42]

I'm working on a project where I have to update the label on a product, but the existing shot of the label is on a cylindrical bottle...so there's a little distortion. It's not as simple as just dropping a nice clean updated PDF on top of the old.

I can't figure out which combination of AE effects to use to get the edges to wrap nicely - Warp was almost there, but not right. Same with CC Bend It. Any suggestions?

Hi, sounds like a job for the CC Cylinder effect.

As suggested, CC Cylinder might be a good idea and so may be Bèzier Warp. For anything more specific you have to show us what's going on. Replacing label's and branding can be anything from super simple to extrtemely complicated.
