    Hello,
    I’m fairly inexperienced with after effects, and i have a problem with this comp i’m working on

    i have several layers of images that pan left on the comp using a null.
    i’ve created an adjustment layer that bends (BULGE) the images so that it mimmicks half of a cylindrical room. (Basically the images get smaller(farther) towards the center and stretches on both sides)- this will be the background for a green screen input.

    So hopefully that gives some sort of impression of what i’ve done.

    THE PROBLEM IS THE BULGE.

    it has created a warped-pixelated-distorted crease near the center of the comp.

    i have no clue how to execute this comp without sacrificing the bulge.
    any feedback would be very much appreciated. sorry for the long read.

    Try precomping and using the CC Cylinder. You will need a huge radius and plenty of time to experiment. You might even be able to use CC Sphere.

    Great fun but these filters require are bit difficult to grasp.
