This is one of the coolest Video Tutorial Effects!...Your Teaching style is Great!..keep them coming.

where do you find those maps from?

Where are those maps from ??? Google Earth ??? I realy like some maps of MY city

Andrew u ROCK men! and this tutorial 2
congrats about the kid :)

cheers from argentina!

Thanks, you're the responsable for me love After Effects. thanks for the lesons.

Hey,

I love A.K. tutorials ;)

whatch my Earth Zoom

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt4TZ10Z5fI

buenisimo el tuto...

Florian that was pretty nice, u should work on the color correction when it zooms out to the globe though.

where did u get those maps from?

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?

Legal!!!!!!
meu, muito fera mesmo, você me passou uma nova gama de conehcimento com esse tutorial
vocês são os cara!!! rsrsrs

This was one of my favorites, so it's no surprise I watched it several times-

did you know this was used at the end of the newest AT&T commercial? it didn't look too great, though. Andrew's is WAY better. lol (i'm serious. )

Sorry for my bad english, I´m a german guy!

I made 14 Screenshots from Google Maps. It is great, every Zoom step is exactly 50% resize in After Effects.

George, can you just record somebody on green screen from the position u want, and hten put em on there.

Had some problems as well. After a lot of fiddling around, I discovered that the numbers behind the dot are probably so small, that my after effects rounded it of to zero. By adjusting the scaling the lowest layer up first, then unparenting and reparenting, it was solved.
BTW, an extra nice effect I discovered: put your audio files in the nested comp, that way the swoosh winds up and down gradually by the time remap effect.

Cheers Andrew,your tutorials are the coolest!

Hey guys, I really really need some help. This is a great tutorial Andrew, but where do I find still for my city? Thanks alot,
Brad

Andrew you rock!!!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Hey what's up !!! Djizz from guadeloupe ( French west indies) !!! Very good tutorial!! nice job Andrew !!! But this question is : Where can we find HD pictures like yours ??? have a good day man !!

Combining creativity, humor, and teaching is a rare gift.
U've embellished both by serving as an inspiration to others.
I commend u.

Thank yu for your work! It's excellent!!!

hey man awesome tutorial. where did you get the maps from?

maps.google.com

you are a supertutorial master! i jus simply love your work dude!!

Andrew just gotta say these tutorials are the best ever.

ive been using Macs since 1987 for print design and got into corporate film work 7 years ago and always shyed away from AE due to its complexity (so i though).

As i have CS3 suite I thought id have a go instead of using Apple Motion... wow... your tutorials have made me learn the basics of AE in 1 week. im now watching your tutorials and applying them to my projects and wowwing my clients.

The best AE learning site on the web, its just like having a teacher sitting here in my studio in Scotland, thanks again.

It is alive

ty Master great tutorial
This is my try.
http://www.vbox7.com/play:cef12844

This will be introduction of my advertising of my firm

Thank u again

P.S. Sorry for the poor english

i love this tutorial,thanks andrew,u are such an inspiration

If you need to get some decent photos, try Google Earth, you can remove all the road icons etc from the bottom left and you can save a picture. Sure you get the watermark but you simply use a feathering system on each photo like Andrew does and you solve the issue of the watermark. If you use the earth pic, just mask the bottom corner out. Simple 8P Enjoy!

Good job!

it's very good effect
plz, give me this effect free

Where do you get the maps they are very cool and the Tut!!!

thats a goood tutorial but i m having a problem .I dont have a better creative mind than other so please tell me what can i do to made my mind creative.Plz tell me

you work is amazin and your tutorials are very easy to understand (clean great explanation)
wish you the best men!!
thanks for the legacy!!

That was great! Always wanted to know how it was done without killing yourself much. Thank's Andrew. You rock!

You save my life! :)
Thank´s for your big help.

Looks like Doug Liman (Go, Swingers) is a fan of Andrew's or at least the post house on JUMPER is.

http://www.jumperthemovie.com/

You have to wait until the end of the trailer, but it's there.

-GFX

the jumper trailer has this in it... did you make that Andrew?

wow bro... you really got some tallent. Very good.... Keep it up

Wow, very cool tutorial. Very clear to understand, cheers from Brazil.

GageFX yeaa i just came here to say that too, but beat me to it lol..

esta bn brutal

very nice tutorial

sei veramente forte!!

This turned out to be so simple... I'd spend hours on making something like this. Andrew you have an awesome piece of talent! Keep up! Your fan from Russia!

I tried it with the ballon with a camera and the fishingline! Did somebody found a camera with an ballon - I'm still looking for it!

Nice tutorial!

Tkx andrew for the oportunites

Thanks for all your job Andrew, easy and clear, keep moving forward, thanks from Spain Andrew.

The google earth screens makes the earth looks like it has patches. Those are some clean pictures, was another program used?

Thanks! Does anyone know how to reverse the frames so it looks like you're zooming in instead of zooming out?

This tutorial could not have come at a better time. I am actually working on a project which is exactly the effect I was looking for. Your tutorial is awsome, well explaned, concise and very easy to follow. Thank you for your help. One question though, where can I find these high resolution pictures of areas? Thanks again for your response

Hi,

For this image from Google Earth, i should just to set the zoom level or other thing? How can to it?

Thanks

Hey!
they actually made a earth zoom in swedish television after your Tutorial on channel 4+ here in sweden. thats cool!
Andrew, you are becoming an international star :D

I liked it! it was good, my internet connection isn't very fast so i don't watch many but these products are expensive. why are they so expensive? I just got Action movie essentials for 60$ 60:too much. i know its stuff the pros use, but what about regular people? TOO Much

hey I dont know how yo get the maps offline, if you could help me out that would be awesome.

what a great effect!
I am going to work on it with my new film.

very good tutorial !! watch my movie http://www.magichousestudio.net/mhs_video/wip/earthzoom.avi

thx for the video ++

I am really impressed with your work and with the speed you do your work. Just wanted to show my appreciation, keep it up. As far, the best tutorial-making-guy for after effects I've seen so far.

Easy to follow what you are doing but never slow. And always ending up with a superb result. Tried this earthzoom, took me an hour instead of your fiftheen minutes.

Keep up the good work and always interesting tutorials!

Thanks for the tutorial, Andrew. The steps are great, but what I like the most is seeing you're work flow.

I figured out how to get it to zoom IN to earth. Took me a while, but then a brick hit me in the head...ouch...and it came to me.

Are you ready?

Select the Earth Zoom 2 comp. Right-click and select Time and then Time-Reverse Layer! Instant reversal, that's easy to undo when you need to go the other way.
Here is my version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikts2-As3Ac

Thanks again Andrew - for the tutorials, and helping me learn to "think" in AE.

Now where'd that brick go...

That movie, I believe, used this technique towards the end of the trailer.

ak the super man

andrew~
you are so funny~ ^0^;;;
Thank you so much for your tutorials!!!

My first project i ever made with After Effects. I think its pretty hard, but thanks to this tut i think i understand

This is fantastic and exactly what we need. Where did you get the high rez images? Doesn't look like it was from Google Earth like eveybody else is saying. Also, is there any licensing issues?

this is very - very good tutorial , thanks a lot

wow .... and one more times WOW !!
Great job.
Thanks for the tutorial :)

It's 100% Google Earth.
I've searched the same house :D
And I've found it (looking similar!!)

The 2 - 3 Image could be Nasa World Wind..
Or Google Earth!

And the first one is just an Earth map from Google Image Search...

greez siousu

Hey wow great video thanks

Where did you get the good res images from. google earth standard ones look out of focus.

thanks again

Hi, I was just wondering on how to get high-res images from your own country/neighbourhood .. now I know there's Earth Google, but you can never get them from there as high-res I think.

Where did you get the pictures from ?

Hey I read the questions but didn't see an answer...Where'd you gwet the photos?

The Earth Zoom can be seen in the new movie 'Jumper'. Check out the end of the trailer: http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/jumper/large.html

Looks almost identical...

just perfect i love your work!!

I LIKE this very much
it is really cool!!

Hahaha. My kid heard what you said you need in beginning of the tutorial and he was like, "dad, have we got enough string." Cute hahaha.

Thanks Andrew. Your tutorials awesome!

Thanks for these great tutorials man. They are realy helpful. Am looking forward to buy your DVD collections.

check out the end of this trailer

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/jumper/

ey thanks i make my animation like this one and i hope u can see the work of what u make watch it on youtube com/keught

Sweet video. Too bad it doesn't say where to get the photos. I don't want to use Google Earth, because I don't want to erase their watermark, which is there for a reason. Is there some legal source, like NASA? The tutorial is really of limited value unless you tell us where we can get similar high rez images.

whats up i just cant render the earth zoom i very slow and only with this project

hi thanks to this tut i think i understand

I was wondering where you got the satellite pics from without the copyright lettering on it. Great tutorial

Wondering where you got those cool satellite images ???

Sick tutorial, like usual

Andrew Kranmer is and editing god, he is pure pwnage

Andrew!
Awesome tutorials.I also love your sense of humor!
You make those complicated and wonderful tricks look amazingly easy.. And u know what..Like everybody else said, i will just say:You are a Genius!
1000 thanks is just not enaf!!

Hey Andrew Look here :

2 mins 5 seconds in video clip they have used your tutorial or it looks very similar.

Thank you Andrew very much for your tutorial. I am a very big fan of your work and your one of the reason why I am focusing more on having a career in motion graphics.

i made a proffesional clip by using your tution.i recommended my frinds to watch your site.thank you.
it would be greatful to see recent tutions in your site.

Great tutorials.

How could an earth zoom be applied in the opposite way? What I mean is, how do you zoom from space down to a certain point?

Thanks a lot

Yhanks again for a great idea Andrew, but sorry, this one hasn't been fully thought through. If you use a reasonable number of layers, each one parenting the previous, the scale range becomes, excuse the pun, astronomical. I used 16 hi-res images form Google Earth (Yes, they are good if you buy the pro version) - but when you come to clear down all the parents and point to the original, most of the scaling has zeroed out and you are left with a dot.

Any suggestions to this one? I am working on using an expression, but it's a bit tricky. If I figure it out, I'll post again.
Keep up the good work, and Happy New Year to you all.

Where do you get the high res pics that are legal to use? The thing I don't like about google earth is that a lot of times the water near land is very boxy because the water is different colors.

Instead of using motion title I just scaled the precomposed to 106%. This way the edges are more detailed

my result:

For some reason, this tutorial doesn't fully load for me.

Thanks.

Спасибо, �

Hey Andrew, I got to admit that all of your Tutorials helped me a lot in motion Graphics, It even helped me to find a good job, Actually, As Everybody is asking, where have you found those picture, Because I'll say likes some up there and I think that these are not Google Earth and/or Google Map images..

thx for the hint !

great fan

Wow it's great and it works fantastic. thanks andrew

I love all ur tutorials. Ur an inspiration.... Where are those maps from ??? Google Earth ??? I realy like some maps of MY city

I HAVE SEEN THIS IN MOVIES AND ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW HOW THEY DID IT

Well done, you are an example man...

"xix" in albanian means - cool...

Ive watched all ur tutorials and its really helped me with AE thanks mate keep up the gd work

p.s where u get the images from??

be cool guys i see a lot of where to find the images of you're place well the answer is goolge maps but here's the thing you hold Control + ALT and press Print Screen and that will copy the the srceen, then you just Crop out what you want using adobe photoshop....

thanks andrew

Thanks for tutorial Andrew

I would really like to know how to get this one into a night-scene and maps.

I really do not know howto fix that. Is it possible to play with the contrast and else to get it like a night-shot?

Hope you guys can help me out

Thanks for the lessons,

R E S P E C T B R U V....

Super man, I was just wondering where I can get Images of my city, hopefully you can help , thanx again.....

Hey guys! the images: from google maps (not google earth!!!). if you look close you'll see some google watermarks in that Footage. some watermarks seem to be hardly erased with Photoshop and the water of the sea is also tuned-up with PS. just the 2 last images of andrew's Footage seem to be from other sources. that's it!
Thx Google and of course Thx Andrew!!!

where do you get those satellite photos? Those I got from google maps seems to have less quality

Hey Andrew,
amazing verrrrrrrrrry nice.
Well i have a little question: did you copy this one cause i saw exactly this zoom being used at a german - french channel called "Arte". It was really exaktly "your" zoom. So your tutorials are really intresting ;D keep on doing such great work
greetz from germany

excelent tutorial...

Very Nice tutorial, keep´on´movin man!

Hey,
When I saw the "Powers of Ten" it reminded me of this tutorial.
You can check out the old school earth zoom here:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZpA28eUB7Ek

Enjoy

thats awesome!! where did you get those hires images if you dont mind me asking. im in miami by the way.

you the best, very good!!!!

Is there a way to do this without expedential zoom? I have After Effects 5.5. Can you do this effect in after effects 6.5?

So good so good I time reverse and add a particular like a comet...

This looks very similar to your own technique but zooming in fast towards the planet for the new Will Smith movie "HANCOCK".

Looks funny!

http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/hancock/hd/

I was trying to do this tutorial but when I tried to down load the project it would tell me that the file is corrupted.
I was really looking foward to doing this project.

I have the Designer Sound FX discs... was wondering what swoosh sounds you used for this? I found a couple that might work well - but probably need to be stretched out or pieced together to match the length of the piece.

Wow, this is the first time i've used after effects in my life, and mine looks just as cool as in the tutorial. great work! thnx!

this is the most epic effect ive ever seen. like OMG WOW.

insane.

i heart you andrew

this is the..........;;;;;'; ; nooooooooo ..............................................................super' ...................................

For all the people who are asking about maps

Simple download Nasa World Wind. No watermarks. It's free and the images are in the public domain

The images are also just as high qualitly as andrews

Hope this helps!

wow... this one great!! I love it!!

Thanks for this - absolutely superb!

Same question as Steven: I have the Designer Sound FX discs... was wondering what swoosh sounds you used for this? I found a couple that might work well - but probably need to be stretched out or pieced together to match the length of the piece.

THIS IS VERY GOOD TUTOTRIAL.I M FROM PAKISTAN AND VFIRST TIME VISIT THIS SITE IT NICE SITE, GOOD TUTORIAL AND BEST INSTRUCTOR. THANKS

Nice one, i am gonna try to do it as well

Oh since evryone is asking about where to get the maps from, its quite simple. just download google earth and turn of everything (there is some stuff in the left of the screen you can uncheck the boxes and evrything is gone Only problem is you cant use the whole picture, you need to use everything in the middle otherwise the stupid compass shows up.

Great tutorials by the way andrew, i love em! keep up the good work!

Me again
I have just finished my try at the zoom,

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

Hi Andrew, Thanks so much for the wonderful tutorials. I'm looking forward to go through all of them, and some of the products as well.

I saw this question repeating itself on this page but not sure what is the definite answer.

Where are the images taken from? It doesn't look like google earth. Especielly the picture of the full globe. where can I find this one? (i live in europe)


Thanks, Tal

Hi Andrew, great tutorial again :D
people if you want to reverse the earth zoom, so zoom in on earth i think you just have start with scale at 0.005% and end with 100% insted of starting with 100% and ending with 0.005%. I'm not sure if it works.
i didnt try this because i had some problems with my pictures and im also an ae noob, but this seems quite logical to me xD oh and dont be mad if it doesnt work ;p
bye ppl

andrew kramar you are the man !!!!! thank you so much for these tutorials....

Thanks you the best.Very Very nice tutorial

I Just finihed the basic training and i must say Wow really good explaint and funny. Thanks allot!
I am already excited of all the other tutorials

Thanks again.

Magnifico tutorial.Thanks from spain.

very good!

People asking about maps can also try http://flashearth.com
has several map sites it pulls its images from and you can right click and hide the menus for almost a full screen view. Only thing is the logo and text that is left on the bottom left corner.

dude you're great!

you're the man, mr kramer.

great tutorial, like all the others and of course, you're comments are unbeatable...

A very cool tutorial. I like it reversed and when the animation ends (which leaves a still of my house at about 100m height) I added a very thin animated cloud layer, as if you were looking at a live picture. Works great! Thanks Andrew...

Great tutorial!
But for whatever reason, my exponential scale option is always grayed out. I can't used it.
I downloaded your project file and the exponential scale function works in there.
I have CS3 by the way.
Any suggestions?

Donde puedo conseguir estas imágenes satelitales de optima calidad? Muy bueno el tutorial.

ohhhhh thanks bro i win an oscar with your help thanksss

Hey Andrew, saw you at the AENY meeting the other day, thanx for the camera tracking insight. I got a question about this tutorial. I work for an agency that is always worried about getting sued. Where can i get good images that I can use for commercial use (even if i have to pay for them, preferably not of course)? I am also trying to convince them to buy twitch but need to get this first obstacle out of the way to make a case for purchase(s). Hopefully that will get you to answer my question sooner then later.

Zeid

HEY! Awesome tut. I usually use FCP programs, never used AE before and got it perfect first time! Thanks for a great tutorial. Ill be spending alot of time on this site

Earth ZOom.comp LOL ZOom

hi Andrew,
i wrote to you message and i don't know
if you read it or not any way i just want to tell you
i dont want your help any more there is 6.60 billion
people on earth would like to help me.and if you think you are the best you are wrong bodie

thanks

Congratulations for the contribution that you
they give those that look for resources
more advanced in after.

Looks great, is that the building you work/live in? Cool to know your down in the SF area, I'm about 40 miles north of you!

Awesome tutorial! Where can I find similar pictures so I can do this effect without just redoing THIS effect? Specifically, I'd love to be able to zoom out of Baltimore.

where did u get the pictures!!!!!!!nice tutorial though just like always

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.

ج�

U kick "S"

great. it is also used in the action movie "crank"

Just astonishing!!! Im at a loss for words right. I feel so aspired when i watch these tutorials even though i suck at after effects!

Your hilarious, and amazing at what u do... where did you learn all of this? how could i learn all of this?

Thank you so much, I'm going to do this for a film that I have to make for a class in high school and I will definitely blow everyone away with the special effects!

Man...your tuts are just....amazin'.....and im benifiting from them...oh yeah love ya andrew...but soon you will have a new competitor...:D

it cool man. Keep up the good works.

Nice TUT, but i have ONE problem!
My "stillearth" picture (png) which should be transparent is NOT transparent in my comp and I don't know why cause i think i made it right.
Please help me!

I want to know wich programm was used to takes those pictures. With google earth it is not as sharp as it has to be, you see very blurry images and soms sharp images throug each other. I want the same sharp pictures that andrew used in this tutorial, but then from the netherlands. Can anyone tell me what programm this is?

C'est tout simplement sublime !! Bien jouer Mr Kramer

hello i tryd the weather baloon thingie and then after a few minutes it snapped and my camera fell all the way down... and now i need to buy a new camera for my stefgranddad... hmmm THX !

Hey dear... m very new in working with after effect...
previously i used the effect of Sony Vegas... and when we cut the video we used the shortcut key S to cut split the time line... but in After effect what was it? i need help...

I'm really confuse while i want to used one effct for like 5 sec. only... but that effect goes until the Muvi was end... and can i the Muvi and used the effect for like only 5 or 10 sec.???

Great Tute! i have one question tough. Where did you get the various pics of the City? did you use Google Earth? Has anyone done this on another city? What did you use? thanks!

Hi i am from norway so i can't spike so god englis.Can you give me the web site to explosions plugins for after effekts??Nice video

Hi, very cool effect. I want to try it but i have just one problem: the Exponential Scale is grey, i cant use it. I use After Effects Professional CS3.

TNX!

Here's how I used this tutorial:

where can i get pictures of a city

yeah baby yeah!!!!!!!

Uping

thats is best way to learn After effects, thanks for all this stuff, i like it ;)

( i'am from cz, so hello from Ostrava )

Hey All,

Does anyone know how to put a 3D Spin on the Earth after it lands? Like a slow rotation/revolution? Independent of the stars of course.

Oh, and Andrew...that was awesome!

Thanks,
Sean

This is GREAT!! Have always wondered how to they make this in films! you're the best!

Great tutorial!
You can record the maps from google maps and setting off all the settings including icons for better view.

Hey Andrew!! Thank you very much for this nice tutorial!! I've tested with photos of my town Nerja (in Spain) and here is the results... Enjoy it and thanks again!!

http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=cC6RrMz_x8I

Okay, I've done this before just like the tutorial showed and it worked just fine...now for some reason, when I un-parent all the layers and re-parent them to layer 1, all my layers disappear. Can someone tell me what I've done to mess this up?

Hi Andrew,
I am trying to recreate the earth zoom to fly into an aerial shot of a building from space... I have followed your tutorial up to linking all the layers and then unlinking them and then linking them all to the top (closest) layer.. now I go to give it exponential scale to smooth out the zoom and exponential scale in keyframe assistant is is greyed out!
any ideas?
Many thanks

I did the tutorial.. and learned a lot ! I found that on AE7.. after 5 digit after the coma, AE is unable to handle the numbers.. so it's possible to have some problem (when you parent a lot of layers and scale them.) Great work Andrew !

hola..que bueno encontrar tipos como vos y que puedan enseñar programas como estos, lastima la condicion de nuestras lenguas, no has salido de las fronteras ..si fuera texto lo podria traducir..aunque algo puedo entender...y te comento que lo tengo que ver dos o tres veces porque vas muy ligero..very fast...te felicito, por tu dedicacion...antes que me olvide me interesa el efecto del zoom tierra..pero no me termina de bajar..se cuelga algunos kb antes como puedo hacer saludos.-

Andrew.. this tutorial is just great!!!
By the way! EVERYONE having problems with the Exponential Function (meaning you have the option, but it's always grayed out) I figured out how to get it working.
This is what you do.
Instead of hitting the drop down triangle under the first jpg, hit "S" so it brings up the "scale" sub menu. add your key frames, then right click and Exponential Scale should be selectable. I don't know why it doesn't work with the drop down menu, but you must press S I guess..
Thanks again andrew!

Very Very Impressive andrew sir and i think the best of yours

thanks for sharing

Gr8

Hi Andrew,

ive said it before and id say it again - your are an AE artist -i love your work!

I have a question though for this tutorial, i have made the nifty smooth zoom with the Exponential Scale, BUT i wanna make some movement on the planet before the zoom starts, but the zoom start so rapidly, can u give me a hint how to make the zoom start real slow at the beginning?

If any one else can help, id be glad also :D

Cheers

thank you Andrew

I've got the same problem as Dan:
'Dan Says:04/29/2008 - 18:49
now for some reason, when I un-parent all the layers and re-parent them to layer 1, all my layers disappear'
Don't know whats wrong, any ideas anyone?????
It's driving me mad, i can't see why all my layers vanish!!!

Andrew, ur presets and tutorials are just awesome!

Your tutorial is great! I was wanting to make this effect in one of my current projects and this tutorial will make it much more impressive. Where did you find the images you used for the maps? Thanks.

Going mad Going MAD!!!!!

Still can't figure out what's wrong, so i'm gonna start again in te vain hope that i missed something the first time round.
Fingers crossed guys!

I've watched more than 20 of your TUT's, and this is BY FAR your best. I really enjoyed the product of this, but I do wish you include the pictures (and other media in other projects) that you have in the project download. It would help out a ton.

Your TUT's are the best that I've seen on the internet, so keep it up!

Awesome effect!

I was looking for something like this!!

Hey if anyone could help me out with this I've been stuck on it for quite some time. Whenever I unparent and then re-parent all layers to first layer, All my images disappear except for the image on the first layer. Originally I was using 19 images, so I cut them in half to 9. I've done everything exactly as he does in the tutorial and can't figure it out. If anyone has any answers please help!

I have a New Religion, Endrew Kramerizm

Dogan from Turkey

Russia greetings you Andrew!
Very nice tut. you're inspiring hundreds of peoples to get close to the world's best special effects tool which is called to be - "After Effects".

Thank you so much dude!

very nice , Thank you

thanks

Andrew,

Best tutorial I have seen so far! Thank you for what you do.

YES!!

Gabil that's impressive!!!
Andrew thank you once again ... this one's one of my favorites. I'm having a little problem. I downloaded the Project folder so i could use your earthstill.png file. I imported it and did everything pretty much but when i scaled it out I noticed the white box around the earth (the .png file picture is actually a square, where the earth is) was still there. I know that box is supposed to be transparent but somehow it still shows. Can't figure out what to do. If anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it.

This is what I mean

Thank you!!

_Alex_ ... GO B-BOYS!!

I have the same problem as stefan (6-29-2008)
When I unparant all layers and then parant them 2 one. When I zoom out all layers seem to be turned off (with the eye).. you just don't see them anymore:s

how come?

this is good but i didnt find pic. ele bundan yana sikim varyoxuzu

Lol funny at the beginning! xD Fishstring!

It's really cool, but I got a question. If I want the move playby the zoom in not zoom out, something like at first show the the earth and than satellite locate somewhere and zoom in, keep so on till show a place. how to do that? I try to opposite the proccess but it's not work.

höngggg thanks

WOW............!!!

Hi, i cann't watch the video and i don't know why.
Is there any problem in the website.
Thx for replying.

GREAT.... just what i need... you are great....

hey guys go koco.com and from there click interactive radar
heres the link though http://www.koco.com/interactive-radar/index.html

just find your state city and you can even zoom in onto your house!

My solution to the exponential scale problem is to copy the keyframes from the tutorial project file, paste it in your own comp. If you want to make adjustments be sure to use ONE of the original keyframes and make a new exponential scale. . .

hi
where can i get that great photos of the earth?

I just saw this in motion tonight in a comercial on NBC promoting the olympics!
Props to Andrew!

goob job
