The download file is corrupt. It wont extract.
Hello! Just downloaded and extracted the file no problems… I used WinRAR to extract if that helps. If it’s still not working, drop me a message using the contact form on my profile page and I’ll send you a Dropbox link to the already extracted content. Thanks.
Can different states have different images for each? Like can Kansas be a photo of wheat, texas farm, arizona desert, etc?
Am having major issues with this template. Running AE 2018 with 64gb RAM on 2013 Mac Pro. I rendered out the “CITY MARKERS FLY IN” comp with minor modifications on the marker comps. After an unusually long render time for my machine on a 10 second comp (35 min), the lighting effects in the states are all strobing and flickering. It is unusable. @SpaceStockFootage please reach out to me or I’ll be reaching out to Envato. Really unhappy with this template
I’m having the same problem as salfarhan – how do you duplicate comps without having the txt change?
I bought the item. But individual state animate is not available in the pack ?
I am talking about the animation you have shown on the trailer video at time of 0:49
Nice project! Good luck! 
Hey, send me over the AE file and I’ll see what I can do. Drop me a message through my profile page, I’ll reply, and then you’ll be able to send over an attachment via regular email. Render time can vary considerably if you’re using motion blur, depth of field and the bevel alpha effect, but hopefully with some minor tweaks I can get it rendered out for you. Thanks!
I can’t get the state map to render in Media Encoder CC. I used the state map in a 2-min video on an iMac. 9 hrs later, the video still won’t render. Is there anything you recommend I do?

I turned off the bevel and the video rendered.
Hi there just purchased, when I open it, it says “AE error. missing data in file (33;;4)” doesnt allow me to open, solution for this?
Hey, just checking that now… hopefully we’ll get this sorted asap. Can you let me know which version of After Effects you’re using?
Ok, so I’ve downloaded the project myself from VideoHive to make sure I have the same copy you’re using and it’s opening fine for me… in all versions from CS6 up to CC2018. Here’s what I’d suggest:
1. Download a fresh copy of the file to make sure nothing went wrong during the download.
2. Obvioulsy restart your machine, just in case.
3. Make sure to unizip the download first, rather than opening the file from within the zipped folder.
4. Import the file into your open After Effects (like you would import a video or image file) rather than just double clicking on the AE project or right clicking and choosing open with.
Aside from that, I’m not really sure what to suggest… from 346 sales you’re the first person to have this issue! All I could glean from Google is that this issue is common when a file is saved but the saving process if corrupted… so it kind of saves an empty AE file (double check the file size of the project… that should show if this is the case for you… maybe when you first download before opening it, and after you’ve opened it/made any changes). Maybe try and see if it opens ‘as is’ before you’re moving locations, renaming files or opening and then saving straight away. Hope some of that helps!
New video tutorial available on Youtube…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXim9Hy5vjA&feature=youtu.beHi, I’m trying to do the same thing that akakit was trying to do. Have you finished the tutorial video? If so, may I get a copy? I emailed you yesterday about it.
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Hopefully complete in a couple of weeks more at most, but feel free to drop me a message through the contact form on my profile. and I’ll send you a link to the audio. And if there’s anything specific you’re having trouble with, just let me know and hopefully I can help. THanks!
Also, you show the state of California coming out of the usa map with a text box at the end of your descriptive video – how does one do this?
Just click on the state you want to animate. press ‘p’ to reveal the position property. Click on the stopwatch at the point you want to animate the state, move forward to when you want the animation to stop and then move the state to where you’d like it… either by adjusting the position properties in the timeline, or moving the layer by hand in the main window.
For text, it;s just a case of creating a new text layer, making it 3D and then positioning accordingly. I think I used the fade up characters to reveal the text in the example video.
I’m working on a new tutorial video that covers a lot of the basics, to give more info to users and help them jump straight in with my map kits. It might not be ready for two or three weeks, but I have the voice over recorded already. If you wanted to drop me a message through the contact box on my profile, I’d be happy to send you a copy of the voice over… it covers a lot of the examples shown in the preview video.
Thanks!
Yes, please send me a copy of the voice-over. Thanks!
Can you send me a message through my profile page, so I have an email address to send it to. Thanks!
I want to use the city markers comp but want to add an image as the map(s) – like you can do in the main US flag comp. How do I do this in this comp?
Hey, sorry for the delay in getting back to you! To activate the image and remove the fill effects, just click the fx button on the top state in the timeline, hold, and drag all the way down to the bottom state. This will turn off the fill effect on every layer, and let whatever image you are using show. Hope that helps!
Can you create your own city markers?
Hello! There’s a control layer where you can alter the colors of the existing map marker, and you can also turn off the included marker… and drag in one of your own that you’ve made or sourced elsewhere. Hope that helps!
Hi there, awesome stuff! I have a question. I want to zoom way in on a state (so a single state is covering the entire view). Do I change the position of the camera controller, move the camera, zoom the camera.. what is best?
Hello! Either would work fine… changing the position of the camera or zooming in. When getting close, make sure the ‘continuously rasterize’ button is turned on, so the edges of the state remain crisp.
http://blog.digitaltutors.com/one-switch-rule/Great project! I was wondering if there is a way to change the color of the markers.
Absolutely! Just go into the ‘Master Marker’ composition, and there’s a control layer at the top which has color picker options for all the different colors that make up the marker.
Hi. I sent you a private message asking a question, but got no response. I want to know how to change the city/state name text in a duplicated marker without it affecting the original marker. Apparently every time I change the text in a duplicated marker, the previous marker text also changes with it. Am I doing something wrong? Can you please help me with this?
Otherwise, this is a beautiful template. Well done!
Sorry about that. Have found your email and just sent you a reply now. Hope that helps. Just give me a shout if you have any further problems though, happy to help!
What’s in the update?
Before the update there was just the separate States, but now there are map markers that can be used for cities and locations as well. Thanks for purchasing!
Really nice
Wish you many sales my friend! 
Thank you!
well done presentation
Thanks very much!
