I’ve got a slightly different question- from where can you get such good low altitude photos? Andrew’s lowest level ones seem to be aerial photos even, not satellite ones.
I’ve tried Flashearth.com which features the maps of Google Earth and a similar one by Microsoft but those aren’t always the best. Does anybody know of any better places? Or just some place from where I can get good aerial photos of different places (probably big cities). -
I think what you’re looking for is the Venetian Blinds preset- that’ll give you some nice lines throughout your footage. For the color, desaturate it perhaps or do that and add some dark green or blue to give it a nice sophisticated look. That time/date/timecode thing you should be able to add easily within After Effects and the blinking light, well there is probably a better way but right not I’d say just draw your dot however you like it, animate the opacity from 0-100-0 and then copy paste those keyframes throughout your timeline.

I once had a problem with this (I’ve only got 1GB of RAM)
I had a 6000*2400 image around which I was flying with a 3D camera but when it came time to render, it kept giving me errors about memory and no matter what I did, I couldn’t fix it. Fortunately I had a somewhat smaller version of the picture and then simply replaced it and everything worked out fine. -
“The ability to bring in 3d models, like Photoshop Extended, is long overdue. ”
That is possible already though Zaxwerks Pro Animator (perhaps Invigorator as well but I’m not sure). It allows you to import all sorts of models like .3DS for example and then fly cameras around them in After Effects.
I’d personally like to see some control over extrusion. Adobe should enable you to stretch things in Z-depth, thereby making them 3D and giving them depth.

Thank you so much!
I just can’t believe how cool this feature is! (though then again, I suppose many visual effects artists take it for granted since how else would you import 3D models into a compositing program) -
This does not work!
I’ve read this everywhere that just rename your VOVs to MPGs but it makes no difference whatsoever. I read that After Effects is supposed to import VOB files themselves but it doesn’t. I then used Virtual Dub to encode my VOBs into DIVX encoded AVIs but then After Effects didn’t want to import those, even though I’ve worked with DIVX inside of After Effects before. What could be wrong? -
I’ve got another noob question- where is the ‘Import 3D model’ (or whatever the exact wording is) option in Pro Animator (I’ve also got 3D Invigorator)? I’ve got some 3DS models that I’d like to import but I just can’t find the place to do it. I’ve searched these forums and Google and have not found a place that tells me exactly where to do it.

So this feature will only work if you got the Production Studio version of Adobe’s products and not when you got them separately? Because I’ve been watching this tutorial series on the complete training for Adobe Production Studio and there they also showed the moving of files between different Adobe programs but I haven’t been able to do it. For Premiere to Audition, the option simply wasn’t there and when I wanted to import an After Effects composition into Premiere, it said that I needed something called Dynamic Link. Am I missing something or did Adobe really mess with us?

The spinning planet you can create with CC Sphere and then have it orient itself towards the camera or you could use something like 3D Invigorator to create a true 3D sphere and put a map as a texture onto it (or use 3D Invigorator to create 3D text) but it still isn’t the same as having native 3D extrusion support. Why on earth hasn’t Adobe done this yet?

Wow, that looks really sweet.
Just guessing but perhaps they shot the cars against a blue screen with a very fancy and agile crane and then composited them into footage shot in the desert. Or perhaps everything is CGI? I couldn’t tell since the video quality wasn’t that great on Youtube.
