I am. Ultimately, I’m taking a grayscale vector map, turning it into a globe, and as we talk about different countries, I bring those to color. Unfortunately, all vectoring becomes lost with the #D object in PS. After importing the file, we zoom in well enough to a file that’s 1000 by 500. But as I add the next globe to the project (where just America is colored), AE crashes. Every time.
I also can’t send the error report to Adobe because my department can’t get clearance to put the mac on the internet (seriously), so I also can’t download any patches if there are any (unless maybe I went to McDonalds).

Hmmm … I honestly don’t even know what you’re saying. Can you explain a little further?

that’s actually what I spent most of this morning on. It’s easy to create, and it’s actually a 3d image. Unfortunately now, when I import these into AE, after I import the second one, AE crashes. Every time. I’ve rebuilt everything from ‘go’ and it still crashes. I have 4 GB of Ram recently installed, so that couldn’t be the case. I just don’t understand why I can’t catch a break on this. This project hates me.

Thanks for all your help, guys! After numerous failing attempts, and file sizes big enough to send CS4 crashing, time constraints have bumped this to a flat map image. It makes it a lot easier, but not as interesting.

The way I’m seeing it, yes. So, “probably not.” I tend to make things harder than they need to be. As I’m thinking right now, I probably wouldn’t have to parent the countries so much as just place them, ad use the camera to fly around to different places. That way all of the built in countries would stay where they need to be without moving anything and getting it all out of whack. So if I just pre comp it, then fly around, that should work, right? Am I making this too hard again?

Right, sorry … when I tried that, am dollied in with a camera, the resolution looked terrible. That’s been one of the huge pitfalls of this whole project. Is there a way to pre-comp at a high resolution or something?

I will be animating it. Well, in a sense, I think. I’ll be turning the flat image of the world map into a glode, then using camera moves to “fly in” to different countries.
Also, when I click that button, it doesn’t change anything.
