    You could use something like Zaxwerks 3D Invigorator/Pro Animator to create a 3D sphere and then make its surface texture into that of a world map. This way you

    Go for After Effects since it is pretty much the industry standard in creating motion graphics as well as general post production work. There are loads of tutorials, both series covering the whole program as well as ones focusing on specific effects, that

    As I said, Xvid (chose that because I need to make this into something that can play back on a DVD player).

    I’ve given up exporting Divx from Premiere since no matter what I do, the video looks extremely artifacty and pixellated to the point that it actually hinders comprehension of what is going on. Xvid would have worked just as fine but every time I tried rendering to that, Premiere just crashed and not once but on multiple occasions. Then I tried MPEG4 and that also produced quite a bit of artifacting and ghostly trails behind moving objects. Then I finally tried exporting to .avi without any codec and that worked (then I converted to Divx with Sony Vegas). There is no way on earth this can be considered a normal workflow but it seems that Premiere’s exporting options just plain suck.
    The reason I’m using these formats is that I need something that’ll play back on a DVD player.

    Where exactly is that little Xvid pop up unchecker? Because I’ve been having EXACTLY the same problems. It is not normal that a professional grade program like Premiere can’t handle a simple Divx export. I did a little test and the way it worked for me was that from Premiere I exported uncompressed .avi which I then converted to Divx using Sony Vegas (the reason I don’t use Vegas for editing here is because it freezes when I drop my clips on the timeline).
    But even though I got it to work, this isn’t the slightest bit normal. Why can’t all the different formats and codecs just get along and not give me such headaches?

    Anamporphic footage is natively 4:3 so you need to set the export aspect ratio properly. What format are you exporting to?
    What anamorphic? My footage is 16:9.

    As for Divx, why don’t the same settings I used in Vegas work also in Premiere? And I still don’t get why Adobe messes up my aspect ratio.

    Oh, how I hate problems related to formats and aspect ratios. Why can’t they just all get along?

    I’m having some problems as well exporting from Premiere.
    I’ve been a Sony Vegas user for a while and am now doing my first project on Premiere but I’m having some serious trouble exporting.
    First of all, it won’t let me keep my original aspect ratio. All of my footage is in 16:9 and inside Premiere, everything looks fine. However when I try to export, it switches it to 4:3 for some absurd reason.
    And secondly, I can’t export to Divx properly. I really need to and I don’t want to go through another conversion process by first exporting to something else out of Premiere. The video comes out extremely artifact filled, even though when using the same Divx export settings in Sony Vegas produced excellent results. What am I doing wrong or is Premiere simply this unflexible?

    Just making a rough guess here and it probably won’t look nowhere near as great as opposed to doing it with something like Maya but if you had a good picture of the wound, perhaps you could motion track it or simply place it in frame by frame onto your actor and then over time have it decrease in opacity as well as decrease the size of the mask from the sides inwards.

    Ok, how would I achieve this in Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas?

    Videocopilot.net
    Lots of great tutorials of the kind where you can follow step by step and create some of the coolest stuff.
    I love watching tutorials and learning how to create all sorts of cool effects. Then later when I’m watching TV and see something, I often get the feeling that “Hey, I know how you can do this in After Effects” and thats probably how it was done, or a similar process in something like Autodesk Combustion or Flame.
