Animating World Maps Tutorial
As a avid geographer and a neophyte in AE, I was excited to see the tutorial on animating world maps. The author went to great length to describe the organizational process of building compositions in a structure.
He also had a project download, which appears to contain such elements. Are we supposed to build a structure of compositions or are the necessary compositions in the project?

The project files include some sample maps and all of the comps needed. Of course, if you were to actually to perform this technique for a job, you’d want to use your own maps.

You will find everything in place in the project and should only need to replace footage and adjust composition sizes. The only reason for the complicated setup is in AE’s expression system – AE frowns on things such as renaming layers and compositions after they have been referenced in your expression. The expressions then stop to work and fixing them can become quite tedious if there are many such elements.
