-To every person having problems with all the layer disappearing when parenting-
Parent all the layers to the second layer, instead of the first. after effects seems to be bugged and doesn't like how small and insignificant the first layer becomes after all the scaling down. So parent 3-8 to 2 and your problem should be solved. If not, try 4-8 to 3 and so on and so forth. Hope this helps
Thank you for spending your time to offer those awesome tutorials up to the community. Really appreciate listening to you and your detailed instructions – its helping me learn super-fast and I have a giggle along the way listening to you.
Here are some further tips to help folks who have experienced a few problems with scaling and alignment issues. SCALE and PARENTING being the key words here…
I have read almost every post here and find some people experience the same problems I ran into… If you follow the tutorial exactly using Andrews files you won’t experience any difficulties however if you try to use your own high resolution satellite images you may run into alignment and spacing problems if you are not accurate or centrally aligned all the way… so this is what I have done to keep everything in time and as accurate as possible…
1/ Sample your satellite images keeping the target centre aligned in every image – your point of focus eg building, tree, car, house etc (MAKE SURE AS MOVING THE CENTRE 1mm CAN EFFECT THE SCALING DRASTICALLY WHEN YOU SCALE UP LATER ON) – this is crucial otherwise when you sale up your assets will be all over
2/ I sampled images from Google earth using the following guides – You can use Google Earths Earth ALT (Altitude) feature in the lower right hand of the screen:
I made my composition 1920 * 1080 and took several images at the ‘above’ Earth Altitudes in Google Earth to create 7 images 5000 * 3000 pixels as I wanted the best resolution possible and room to move the still images around a little. This was most time consuming as Google Earth uses a mapping system that distorts the images to try to render the altitudes however once you move from one point to another most of the time it is distorted… so lots of tweaking. Once you have these images in the bag following Andrews instructions is very simple… in fact to save time you can swap the images over and make the comp size larger and then just manually adjust the rotation and other layers – keep in mind that you may have to un parent layers while adjusting them.
please let me know where i can got those high-res pictures?! wanna try it out, but i dont know where to get pictures like that :( another thing , if i dont have the proffesional after effekts, is there any other ways to get the " Exponential look" on the zoom?
I have done everything perfectly up the point where you unparent all the layers, then when I reparent them back to layer 1 and set layer 1 scale to 100%, layer 1 shows up zoomed in, but when I adjust the scale down from 100% the other layers are gone and it's just black? Help! Does this work with .png files? That's the only thing I can think of?
Hi Andrew I am your fan and I follow every video that comes out this tutorial on the site we particularly liked and then I decided to do that it looks like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmykSH0dPLg I hope that you will like and that you leave a comment ....
Does anyone know where I can find HD satelite images as the one in google maps, couse I need to do something like this for a tv station, but need to do it in HD, the thing is that goggle has a quite bad quality. I just took snapshots of the page and edited in photoshop, cause I don't know if you can download from google maps... But if anyone knows other website where I could download HD satelite images to do a shot like this I would most appreciated.
There's a button above where you can watch the video, and there is another button called: PROJECT FILES. Click on that and it will download everything what Andrew used in his tutorial.

You need to buy the designer sound fx from Video Pilot
If anyone is interested, you can see my try at this. Please feel free to leave comments.
