Here is the effect our station wants to mimic :

I am trying to figure out what the best way is to wrap videos around so we can put our talent in front. I will surely be using the VideoCopilot Reflect plugin :-) but as far as wrapping video in that contour, im feeling stuck trying out all my distort plugins. Anyone have a good idea how I can recreate this sample video wall behind the talent in my attached video? Thank you for your help in advance!
 
One way to do this is to use cc cylinder and render the "inside" face , instead of "full" or "outside". You can play with the parameters like radius for the curvature and changing the y-rotation until you get the portion of the video that you want. You can precomp these and bring them back into your main comp as backgrounds
 
Thanks I will try that as soon as I get back from lunch break. I did mess with cc cylinder a lil bit but not too vastly.
 
Ok I got it working good except that its all backwards, How do I make it become the right way, i have text in it and need it to read forward!
 
Nice, should have figured that. I was gonna take my precomp and just reverse all the videos and text and what not, but thats much simpler isn't it. Thanks!
