I'm just about finished with the Earth Zoom tutorial. I've also been reading all the suggestions and the information has been very helpful. I'm going to get the Tutorial up soon.
PS: Here is a small taste of the quality you can expect!

I know what Andrew means. I was just kidding. It's hard to wait. I'm feeling like in that Time Freeze tutorial. The time seems to stand still.
thats true, it gets annoying doing it every time for every single tutorial, but its worth it in the end, cuz you know you have thousands of people who watch, learn and enjoy your tutorials and have a great time.
i will be making another tutorial soon myself, but my mics not working so ill have to hold out till my new computer gets back from repairs(hdd problems)

Well, there is a little more to it. Graphics and blog entry plus upload after rendering.
no he means rendering as in rendering out of camtasia for the final flash tutorial files, i know because i make tutorials, usually it takes longer then the actual tutorial, so it must be a long tutorial, 30 minutes +
Some Guy

Your rendering speed in tutorials is much faster than this time. Your computer must be very slowly. That explains the usage of Paint.
well i might be able to if its up in the next 5 mins, i got some spare time before Top Gear starts, hope your uploading speeds are faster than mine
Excellent, but unfortuantly i cant be the first to watch, my dad wants to go on the pc
looking forward to the excellent tutorial tho andrew!
good luck, hope you included that bitmap as a souvinier or however you spell that

Guys.. Just for your notifacation! If u seek training for after effects go to www.fxphd.com, they are like an online VFX school.
Check it out!
Check it out!
Andrew, once again you have left us in to much suspense, is it a joke, are you really making the tutorial, ar you gonna do it on fourth of july and throw in an explosion of earth like in a cinematic scene as a present?
to many questions that we cant wait untill they are answered!
incidently i was working on a tutorial for after effects, just about to make one, but then, mic doesnt work, plugged in and everything, just not detects at all

Hola!!
Podr??a haber escrito este comentario en Ingl??©s, pero creo que vale la pena hacerlo en castellano para mostrar el alcance de esta web y cuanto me ha ayudado a aprender! Soy Leo de Argentina y estoy fascinado de cuanto he aprendido con estos videotutoriales en poco tiempo. Me sac??³ completamente el miedo de usar After Effects ya que lo ve??a muy complicado de usarlo. Soy aficionado a la edicion y apenas con mis 18 a??±os te agradezco mucho Andrew Kramer, ya que lo que estas haciendo es muy valioso. Segu?? asi!!! y espero el proximo videotutorial about earth zoom.
See you!! Bye!

Haha, I laughed.
CAN'T WAIT.
Have you considered my tutorials Andrew?
Oh by the way..congrats!
1 Of your great products and 2 or your great tutorials were used in one of the greatest Machinema's ever made:
www.waroftheservers.com
If you have heard of 'Half-Life 2', a mod to it Called Garry's Mod is a sandbox mod where you can muck around and build stuff.
At the start of the 2 hour movie, he used the Fast Fly By text, Riot Gear and the 3D room!

Wow 3D in MSPaint, you must have the conoa Plugin for it. Didn't think it did such an amazing job in Paint, but you, Mr. Kramer, proved me wrong. Wow, looks like it is worth every penny. Impressive Globe you made there. I can't stop looking at it photo realism.

Andrew, your paint skills are a-m-a-z-i-n-g...this should be in the Louvre...looking forward to the Tutorial.
as a reply to the person above. The best way I know of to use Google Earth for a zoom if you can;t get the Pro Module is to set up your path as a "place" and click it a few times to get the zoom in loaded fully in your buffer, zoom out as far as possible into "space", click record on the mini-DV cam set-up on a tripod, click on the places and rapidly hide your side bar slide the mouse cursor off screen concurrently. Do it a couple times for safety. Pull your footage into AE and color treat it as wanted including flouro greens and blues throw a grid with a glow filter on it and voila! a cool looking background computer screens for your next Enemy of the State wanna-be home film!

Wow!! Had I known you could get those kinds of photorealistic results from MS Paint, I would have made the switch YEARS ago. Instead, I've been wasting my money and time with that other Hack program, Photoshop. I feel so cheated.
wow cant wait and i would like to see some tutorials on matte painting since i never seen one of this from you before
