    Hello everybody.
    I have a simple problem.
    Well I think this is one of those “easy if you know, impossible if you don’t!”

    I have a 1230×80 image and i would like to distort it to make a circle with it. Well, not quite a circle, i would say a “donut”.
    I tried with distortion effects but i cannot achieve the desired result.
    Anyone knows how to do that?

    thanks

    Francesco Capone

    I’m just guessing here, but I think what you are asking is how to wrap that image around into a cylinder.

    If I’ve guessed right, try the CCcylinder effect.

    Not quite a cylinder, because the cylinder is kind of 3D.
    I’m looking for a simpler effect: imagine to have a 1230x80px image and bend the right and left edge down until they collide.
    It’s like a 2D donut viewed from above.
