Hi… I’m planning to teach about Roman Empire. Can I create cities and add some places on the project?
Hey Angelo, yes, while all the current cities are labelled, you can add or remove current markers, or create new markers anywhere on any map.
Hey I really like the template, but its running WAY too slow for me. It was running way slower than the tutorial. is there any way where I can make it much faster? I have a new macbook air with an m1 chip made in 2020, so I don’t think its my laptop. Is there anything you can do?
Hey noahjoo, working this out via email.
Hello, one question. Does the tool work with .cvs or excel sheets? to upload info about addresses and automatically adding this points into the map?
Hey tekkifilms, unfortunately the kit does not have that capability.
Hello, congratulations on you great work. Is Romania included and it’s cityes? Bucharest , Constanta, etc?
Hey Bbnicu, yes Romania is included and labelled with the major cities; Bucharest and Constanta
Hi there, I just purchased this kit but I am not able to open it in my After Effects CC 2018 / Windows system! Please advise.
Hi Masterpix, can you explain the issue in a little more detail? What is the exact error you are receiving?
Thank you for your respond. This is the error: “The file you are attempting to open was created with After Effects version 17.1.4 (Macintosh 64) and cannot be opened with this version.”
Hi MasterPix, if you own a legitimate Adobe License you should be able to update to the latest version of After effects via Adobe Cloud and open the file. As these kits are all updated regularly to fix bugs and other issues, you need to be using up to date software.
not working all I got is a blank canvass
haivng trouble with this rendition it always giving me an error
Hi nrkmedia, can you send a screenshot of the error you are receiving to info@legacyproco.com?
Is there any way to recenter the World map? Say, for example, I wanted a marker line to go east from Australia to South America. Placing a marker line going over the right edge of the map doesn’t loop back around & continue on the left. Normally I’d use something like CC Offset, but I didn’t see any similar options in the kit’s settings, though I admit I may have just missed it.
Hey tomshortridge, unfortunately with how complex the map setup is, you cant just slide the map over like that. However, in the ‘custom map’ comp you can bring in your own map and use the route editor to create a route on top of it. In there, you could drop in the map images that come with the kit or try to copy the base world map comp into the custom map comp, but I haven’t tested that out. Hope that helps. I will keep this in mind for future releases.
Hey great map kit! How do i create a route from Germany to USA? The routes comp only seems to be within each continent.
Hi petrinic2, you can create routes within the ‘World_Map_4K’ or ‘World Map_Full’ comps. There is a layer called ‘edit_route’ in those.
How do I change the country highlight color if I’m animating World_Map_Full? I can only find “country_highlight_opacity.”
Hi pianoman72, There isn’t currently a master controller for the highlight color, something I will certainly update in the kit. For now you can just use effect>generate>fill and apply it to the countries you want.
Ok that works but the position or scale of the highlighted countries is slightly off and it doesn’t look great.
Thanks for the feedback, i’ll take a look at the alignment.
Hi, I’ve emailed you my issue with the marker/zone/flag kit, looking forward for your answer
Hi insomniaye,
Received your email and am looking into your issue. 
Cheers,
Hey there. Im having some issues opening this project up. Im on a 2017 Macbook Pro with 16BG RAM and it just sits there with a spinning beach ball once its loaded all the folders in the Project window. I can click on folders in the Project Window, and open up another Comp but again the beach ball just spins, making any editing with the project impossible. I appreciate my laptop isnt the most powerful so wanted to check if these issues are to be expected due to the size of the project, or if there is something I can do to help it along? I’ve cleared my cache and given AE more cache on a fast SSSD drive, but the beach ball still spins. As it stands the project is unusable for me. Any help much appreciated!
Hey myceliom, while the project is quite large, there shouldn’t be any sort of issue opening up the comps. There have been users who downloaded the kit with slower computers than a 2017 macbook pro without issue. That said, there are a few things you can try. Re-downloading the kit to see if there is an issue there, close all other programs to free up RAM or lower the preview resolution in the comp you are using. The maps are quite large, so working in half or even a quarter resolution speeds up your workflow. You may be getting the spinning beach ball because the comps you open are trying to opne are previewing in full resolution and your computer is struggling. Alternatively, I can send you a modified kit with just the countries you need and remove the rest to decrease the file size.
Hope this helps!
..thanks so much for your quick reply. Much appreciated. Strangely, I tried it on a 2015 Macbook Pro I have and it worked fine. So its just some issue with the newer laptop. Without the time to really tech it properly, I’ll sort out what I need on my older laptop for the time being and then maybe go back at the end and see if perhaps something needs a re-install. Thanks again!
No problem! Let me know if you encounter any other issues. 
Hi, do you offer customizations of this project?
Hi gmcd, can you be a bit more specific?
I need a simple animated map of going from point 1 to point 2 within California, from one city to a 2nd city. Can you create this for me with this project for a fee? I’ve watched the tutorial video and have played around with the project but I still don’t quite get how to do it as I’m not an AE guy. Rather than hire someone to customize this who would need to get up to speed on the project, I thought I’d ask you first if you offer customizations.
Hey gmcd, I don’t offer customizations of the kits I sell through Envato. However if you’d like to work out a contract with my studio Legacy Production Company – www.legacyproco.com or email us at info@legacyproco.com you can hire my team to create a custom animation for you. Hope this helps!
Hello,
Thank you very much for your map. It is really complete.
It takes a lot of resources from my computer. he smokes
Unfortunately I have a little problem. I cannot export a map with flags. This bug every time, whereas without the export goes very well. Do you have any suggestion to solve my problem.
Hey thomaspatras, thank you for purchasing! Id be glad to help. We might need to share some images so I can figure out what your issue is. Do you mind emailing me at info@legacyproco.com
The flags on the top right of each country or state do not render, they are only there as a reference. To make a flag visible, you’ll need to unshy the other layers in the composition, select the flag and turn off ‘Guide Layer.’
If you are talking about a flag marker, thats a little more complicated so please email me.
Thank you. I wrote you an email.
Hey thomaspatras, received the email, I am reviewing it today.
Do you have a tutorial of how this works before I purchase?
Hey! Yes there is a tutorial inside of the project files. That same tutorial can be found here if you’d like to preview it: https://vimeo.com/427625774/ae7fce9824
Very impressive and added to my favorites. Happy sales!
Much appreciated thank you!
Hi Doru, awesome product! One question: Does it matter if my After Effects is set to German? I don’t want to reinstall After Effects and mess up the system. Txs Ron
Hey Ron,
Thats a great question!
I am currently trying to ‘Universalize’ the entire project so that the language of the effect values remains the same no matter what language the project is opened in.
As it stands now, the expressions become unlinked because it changes the language of the effect values.
I should hopefully have a universal project file within the next 24 hours.
Hey Ron,
Just ran tests with the updated expressions in a German install of After Effects and everything looks good. Just waiting for it to be approved by VideoHive.
If you need a copy right away send me an email at info@legacyproco.com and I will share a transfer link.
Cheers,
Amazing map package! So many great features.
Thank you so much! Go create something amazing with it.
