Hi Marcobelli! 3d Earth Connections is so buggy! Just purchased it today and the “Country to Highlight” option doesn’t work. Even the color picker. 
Hello please contact me on marcobelli1981@gmail.com. Thanks
Quick question – same topic as stevenemersonuk had: The ‘Country to Highlight’ box doesn’t populate any entries like your tutorial video shows. The box below just stays blank. Many thanks!
Hello Mark please contact me on marcobelli1981@gmail.com, thank you
I’ve just sent you an email – thank you!
I didn’t receive it…
but now 
This project will save me maybe hundreds of hours to enjoy in other activities, thank you. I gotta say, it already feels like a spacecraft inside AE. From the perfective of an unsatisfiable sloth like me, I just want to say that the thing that’d be even greater to have in this particular project is, some kind of Auto Label Creator and Pinner for selected coutries. Select label type, select coutries, click click and bam! Italy labeled and pinned, London labeled and pinned.
How can I make the sphere, a 2d-flat for a while? I just need to show the whole world for a some time? And is there a reason the plugin doesn’t dock?
Sorry, I don’t understand… 3d earth connections uses a 3d sphere you can’t turn it to 2d if you needed a 2d flat earth the better solution was earth map connections. This script is floatable and not dockable. Initially during the development I created the dockable version, but for unknown reasons the location finder function was very slow and sometimes it crashes, so I decided to change the code to use a floatable GUI that it is faster and stable.
Hi marcobelli, I have just purchased and am just getting started now, and I am unable to change the appearance of the Earth, I am following along with this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nZjnr5Lz2A&t=35s – but I do not have the Effect Controls Button in the upper right corner.
Appreciate your help!
hello, probably the effect controls panel is disabled, simply go to: “window” > “effect controls”
Awesome thanks so much for your help!
Hi, this is great! Do you have a plan to develop/update your “Earth Navigator” to be able to use VC Orb? I’m interested Earth Zoom function.
Hi there marcobelli,
Great tool, really loving it.
One quick query. My ‘Country to Highlight’ box doesn’t populate any entries like your tutorial video shows.
The box below just stays blank. Have tried multiple versions of AE and all that stuff. Also double checked the name in the ‘World Countries’ comp. Have even tried following the tutorial video letter for letter to test and still nothing.
Many thanks!
Hello I’ve just sent you an email
Hello! I purchased this script but it’s saying “244 files are missing since you last saved this project”. How do I find the missing files? Do I have to redownload the project files again and start fresh?
EDIT: Never mind, I found the fix. You do have to redownload the main files and start fresh again when you see this. I hope you get many sales with this awesome file!
Thank you very much
Great stuff; few questions. Script is activated, earth rotation doesn’t rotate on controller, and connecting two points doesn’t create the start and end or the line that connects them. Nvidia GTX 1080Ti up to date. Using CC2019 thanks, just trying to make it work correctly.
Hello Davis, thanks for purchasing this template. For technical support please contact me on marcobelli1981@gmail.com. It would be very useful if you could record your screen (video capture not screenshots) and send it to me to show me your workflow. thank you

its great but i cant highlight United arab emirates any help ?
Hello Hisemy thanks for purchasing 3D Earth Connections. For technical support please contact me on marcobelli1981@gmail.com. Thank you
Hi there, I’m interested in purchasing this template but would like to know if cities can be highlighted? I need to highlight New York – USA, Sydney – Australia and Melbourne – Australia. I imagine it must be but just wanted to double-check!
Hello Bryfish, I’m sorry but only countries can be highlighted. So for example you can’t highlight Rome but you can highlight Italy. Thank you
That’s ok. Is it possible to manually drop a pin or a marker on a specific location and add a label to identify that location? So could I drop a marker on New York and add a label stating that?
Yes of course!
Great! Thanks!
Nice job!
Hi marcobelli. Congrats for great work. Is there a way to get a transparent background please ?
Hello leeloo, thanks for purchasing this template, yes: in the main composition click on the “shy” button to reveal the hidden layers, then hide the layer 5 (halo) and the layer 17 (background). DO NOT remove these layers but just hide them! If you have any further technical question please contact me on marcobelli1981@gmail.com. In this way if it is necessary I can attach screenshots
Thanks a lot for quick and effective assistance. Have a great day.
Hi marcobelli … just another transparent question ! Is there a way to get a transparent sea using style 5 dotted earth ? Thanks per advance.
Hello leeloo now it’s nighttime in my country tomorrow I’ll check the project and I’ll give you a solution. Thank you
Hello leeloo, simply open the “style 5-dotted earth” composition, click on the shy button and hide the “ocean” layer
Thanks a lot marcobelli.
Hi Marco,
Would you like to know how I can do to increase the total composite time?
When increase the elements disappear when it goes through 5 minutes It takes 7 minutes.
Sorry my English and Thanks
I am not seeming to be able to create country highlights. Version issue? I have the latest version of AE. When I type in a name in the country highlight box, nothing comes up below (even after hitting enter or tabbing to that box) as it does in the tutorial. Also, searching for locations above that sometimes crashes After Effects after (on average) about 3 location searches.
Hello, thanks for purchasing 3d earth connections, for technical support please contact me on marcobelli1981@gmail.com I will reply tomorrow, now in my country it’s 11 pm and I’m not in my office, so I can’t check the project. Thank you for your patience.
Awesome, thank you for your quick response during off time. I will email you!
Hi, I just purchased this project. It is awesome and I’m using it.
I have a question though. How can I link 2 points precisely while the earth planet is spinning and zooming in? I have to adjust the connection line and add many keyframes to keep the link not deviate too much.
Thank you in advance!
Hello, for technical support please contact me on marcobelli1981@gmail.com thank you
Great project.. good luck..
Hi, I’m interested in this project. May I ask, do you have a list of the supported countries for this project?
Thank you for your quick response!
you’re welcome
