hi this is nice and cool effect. But where i can found this images can any body tell me

If you've ever seen the tv show The Big Bang Theory this exact effect was used almost identically on season 3 episode 5 at the very end of the show and I have a strong hunch it was created using this this tutorial.

I swear am half way about crying here... this lining up is definately NOT as easy as you make it look man.. Am so fustrated i feel like blowing up. Andrew, do me a favour, use me instead of Sam. i think i need all that torture :P
by the way, love ya Sam.. Your awesome too.. Feel like releasing my fustration just typing alot but.. not such a good idea.. my coffee even got cold trying to concentrate too much.. But, il just say your just amazing.. wish i could ask you questions.. wait, rather, interview you haha. Alright i'l leave now

nice n clear tutorial

Hey. Everyone keeps asking: "Where do you get the images from?"
As for me I don't know where he got the high resolution images from. What I use is google earth for the in close pictures and NASA World Wind for the farther away pivtures(State and country). I use Wisdom-Soft ScreenHunter 5.0 Pro to capture the picture because after you can crop out anything you dont like. On google Earth it has all the writing at the bottom which you can crop out and on NASA World Wing it has the tool bar. Both have the top window and bottom window. Just use sreen hunter. Crop and your done. I don't know about the high res screens though
People asking about maps can also try http://flashearth.com
Hey guys! the images: from google maps (not google earth!!!)

how did you get the sound FX???

wow :O

you are the best video maker!

nice n1!

WoooooooooW!!!!! Awesome. I love it. Love your work. Thanks.

You a bad man...In another life you would have been a rasta...thanks and praise to jah for the kramer.

it's spectacular
it's perfect
it's beautifull
it's very very great
sorry for mi english i'm spanish

You're the man, Andrew!

Great tutorial as usual Andrew, I guess you are always pressed for time doing 100's of these tutorials but I would go one step further and go through each layers and fade out them out completely as they get too small to be noticed. that way you wont notice colour difference when they contrast like in the last 2 shots.

thanks for your tuts mate, you got me interested in after effects. Something I never thought much of before.

Andrew, earth zoom video tutorial is breaking down when you reach close to 8 min of video. You should check this out!

Great Video I love all the effects ;)

Amazing tut. it was so fun to do :)

People i used Google earth to get high res images :)

Awesome project, but enabling the motion blur makes it much nicer.

Fantastic tut!
Does anyone know were to get the high res images from ?

Hey Andrew, awsome turotial,
I'm attemping to recreate this zoom from my part of the world, I was wondering where you get the high res pic from?

amazzzzzzzinggggggggggggggg is also small word for your tutorial..........!!Keep it up Andrew...

love it man bravoo

The best Tut ever seen 10/10

its really superb and usefull.
thanks a lot.

Anyone can tell me where can i get images of a diferent place in the world? I've tryed with Google earth and it works for closer ones but when i zoom out it looks pretty ugly...

what can i do?

Hi I am desperately looking for a slow, long zoom out video from the earth into the far reaches of space. Can ANYONE help me with this?

Andrew Thanks for that great tutorial god bless you

you're the best I'd like to be like you

Love the tutorials. Congrats on the new addition.
Also curious where one would find photos of this high a resolution?
Also, what would be the procedure of reversing the effect where you come from space and zoom into a street... but then, add in a motion shot of a person looking up, as if to start a story of such a person? Which is what I'm now wanting to do. I'm sure I've actually seen this somewhere actually?

hey guys. i love the tut. worked great. the only problem i ran into was that i want the planet image at the end to be centered in the frame. so the beginning is centered at my house but then when we are in space looking at the earth i want the planet centered. any ideas?

nicely done man

Cara Muito Bom!!!!
vcs tiram Onda Mesmo!

andrew yoo ma... ^_^

damn nice tutorials! xD

Awesome Project

Very Nice work!!
Thank you Andrew!!

Hello there,

first of all, I want to apologize for my bad English.

Last week, I was watching TV and during the advertising I was zapping around. I found sth kinda funny on the German Channel "Pro-7".

They have a stupid Casting Show called "Sommermädchen 2009" (Summergirl 2009) and on this day, the finale was on air. They used this effect here. But not just this effect...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF5j0b5Q8yw

EXCELLENT!
THANK U!

Hey people,

I was working on this effect, and had the same problem with the scaling, with the black screen showing instead of the Earth image, however, I found an easy way to (sort of) fix this. For some reason AE doesn't recognize any value below 1 for the scaling. What you want to do, is the following:
- Just leave the black screen when you enter 0,0005%, which will be changed by AE into 0,0%, and go on with choosing the exponential scale.
- You will notice that the black screen is gone and the earth image is visible. However, the earth looks very tiny, which doesn't looks very nice (however, that's just my opinion). If you check the scale at the end of scale-animation, you will see that it has the value of 0,0001. Also, if you go through the whole scale-animation, you will see that the Earth will 'shrink', but stops 'shrinking' while the exponential scaling hasn't even ended yet.
- What you want to do, is search the part where the Earth has the size as you wanted it to be. The next thing you have to do, is deleting all the keyframes that come after it. If you have done that, and you check the whole animation, it will stop at the right moment.

This worked for me so far, I hope it'll help you guys. Good luck

P.S. I'm from the Netherlands, so please forgive me if there is any bad spelling in my comment (I always like to keep it clean, I know how hard it is to read when someone writes unreadable stuff with lack of dots and stuff.)

Note: Some details about the outcomes as I described it (like the tiny Earth), could be different than others, because of the sizes of the PSD's you use, etcetera

Note 2: With 'sort of fixing', I ment that when you will fix the problem with the scaling, the stuff like time will slightly change, so if you made the animation last 10 seconds in the first place, it will end up lasting 9.1 seconds or something like that.

Andrew Kramer Tutorials = awesome After Effects

Great tutorial. I was able to get decent photos out of google earth. What would make it even better is to combine maltaanon's tutorial for 'Advanced 3D Planets' (created with CC Sphere).
http://maltaannon.com/articles/after-effects/advanced-3d-planets/

Although I don't know how the heck to do it because my last layer (Pre comp of 3D spinning planet) would be spinning. I start zooming out from downtown LA and then end up in Africa. Any suggestions on how this can be done?

Hi, video copilot creaters, excellent creations...nice tute, my HD movie making come true.....
manoj Boogloo

this is awesome man, where did u take this satellite pictures from?

whaaaaa...that was amazing!totally brilliant!you are bad!!!thanks man!you're the master,the prof!

Just like code said:

"alright, i just wanted to let everyone know that the best solution i have found so far is to parent every layer to the last layer (earth) and then, starting with the scale of that layer at 25 million, keyframing it down to 100. i can see this causing a lot of problems and it definitely isn't perfect. that being said, i could still use some advice on this one."

This method works but it's extremely slower and less user friendly.

I had to move my anchor point up to a 0.00001 precision (my project is kinda bigger than the one in the tutorial)

I got the same problem as Olli,

"Hi. Thanks for that great tutorial.
Still i've got a question:
Wenn i connect all Layers to Layer Nr. 1 I just see a Black Window.
If I Scale Layer Nr.1 at 100 I can see the right Picture, but if i scale it up and down i can't see the other Layers. They are not connectet any more.
Does any of you know why this is happening.
THX Olli"

Old tutorials doesnt work :/

Hi, i really like this tute, and want to use it for a promo video i'm working on. i live in Australia and was just wondering how you got the high res pics of San Francisco, i would like to get some of a city here.

Cheers.

great tutorial, but please, im begging, explain the parenting problem. all my scale values are automatically set to zero when i unparent the images... i have no idea what to do.

I am a Taiwanese,I used this technique to my job,it is very easily

Hey,

If you want to use Google Earth, there is already an option to save these photos to your drive. You can also go to View and there's an option to resize the window for DV video.

Muy buenos proyectos los felicito a todos
