can you make some pre-rendered light flares?
Does this purchase include rendered versions of the videos? In other words, can someone without After Effects simply purchase and use the video clips, or do I need AE to render out the clips? thanks
If you the template and send me an email, i’ll send you pre-rendered files.
nice!)
I really love this, but 720 isn’t going to cut it. As beautiful as this is you should re-release this at 4k if possible.
anyway, what are the chances conversion to legit 1080 would work? i don’t know what the detail level is, so I’m not sure it can be done.
Thanks, hope it can be, I really want this.
Hi again, I tried to convert the sunrise_02 into sundown. I managed to change the direction of the earth, but how can I change the movement of the sun? And is it possible to zoom into the earth? It’ important for my animation. Thank you.
Hi, if you change position of “Sun Light Source” layer, everything will change dynamically. You can use “Camera Controller” layer for zoom into the earth. Please try to increase TrackZ setting.
Hi, very nice work. How big is the texture of the world? How close can you get so that the resolution is ok.
Thank you, Tobi
Hi, texture size is 8000×4000 pixels
Thank you, is it possible to get a bigger sized texture?
Great template, love it. I’m working with sunrise 2 and having a few issues. The Earth Rotation X and Earth Rotation Y is not responding. Any ideas of what’s happened? Thanks!
What version of AE do you have?
AE5
This is strange. Can you please send me the project file you’re working on, from my profile page please.
Here goes the extended licence and a 5 star rating
Great work.
Thank you so much 
Hello, I have recently purchased this project. It opens and edits fine, but the rendering time for a RGB Quicktime animation at best setting is anywhere from 8 to 13 hours. I have a pretty good machine, and this is just too slow for me today… Could you e-mail me pre-rendered clips of your animations that I can use as place holders until I have time set these up to render overnight? Thanks!
Of course. Please send me email from my profile page. I’m going to send you link.
Hi 40Kafa,
I purchased this project, but the earth and moon are flat, and don’t rotate. or react to the “sun light” at all.

Hi 40kafa,
I really love your template but I am a newbie in AE. I surf the net for the Optical Flare you talking about. Can you confirm this link below is the correct plugin to purchase:
http://www.tubetape.net/servlet/the-416/Optical-Flares-After-Effects/DetailAfter purchase this plugin, I can use your template straight away ? Or must I still learn how to use the plugin ?
Is it easy to install this plugin ?
Thanks
Actually if you will not need to change position of camera or rotation of earth, you don’t need to buy plug-in. Buy the template, send me email from my profile page, i’ll send you animations in quicktime format. So you can use them as they’re.
If you need to change something in template you can buy plug-in from here: https://www.videocopilot.net/products/opticalflares/
Only plug-in must be installed. There is a video tutorial that shows how you can edit template.
If you need any help please don’t hesitate to ask 
Ok thanks 40kafa,
I have purchased your project. But because I am a total newbie, I am lost. There are 7 aep files & I don’t know what to do with them.
I only need one aep file to do exactly what you showed on the demo. Is it possible to just send me one while to do exactly what show on the demo ?
I oepn the sunrise_01.aep and I cannot see anything globe or text or anything. It is either all black or all white screen.
Also, I want to have exactly the text animation in the beginning & end like you show in demo (of cos I want to change my own text) but I have problem.
I also bought the music from audiohive & I got two wav files with different length. One is 55 sec & the other is 2:48. Would you be kind enough to cut for me so that it is exactly the same as your demo ?
Thanks
Answered via email.
thanks 40kafa, but where can I get the fonts ? Thanks
Hi 40Kafa,
Great project, does this require optical flares + pro presets or just optical flares? would like to know prior to purchase, many thanks
Hi, Only optical flares is required.
Hi! Thank you for a great project
Do you know where I can find a map image without the snow in northern parts of the world?
hi i have a problem with this template. while animating the earth disforms
do you have any idea why this happens? greetings!
by the way my boss bought your template on his gruenderzeiten account.
What do you mean with disforms?
i could send you a screenshot. while the camera is moving the earth stretches at the poles until it is ribbony and not a ball anymore . i am using a german version of ae cs6 which i set to english language. but there are no error messages referring to any expressions. i didnt change any values and set no keyframes.
Are you using “Camera Controller” layer to change camera position or AE’s Camera Tool?
your sliders. i didnt change anything. it deforms in your premade animations
I mean that don’t use AE camera tool to change position of camera. Please check out video tutorial in project folder. If video tutorial doesn’t solve your problem let me know.
yeah when i changed the camera i used your sliders to do so and didnt take the usual way with the c-button / camera-tool. but as i said the problem even appears when i dont change anything and look at your premade animations.
Hmm. Send me your aep file and screenshot to 40kafa@gmail.com
thanks i ll do so!
aahh i got it! i imported all of the sunrise projects into one project of mine and that seemd to have caused the problem. i just opened them one by one and none of those deformations occurs!

Hello, I am completley new to this and found this site through a GoPRo movie that a person used this site to get a few things to add to their videos.. I love this look of the earth.. great for our adaptive diving program.. but I am not sure what I need to do? Optical flare? What is this.. Do I need to download additional software to use this ? SOrry for the such a basic question.. I am a quick learner.. this site looks awesome.. thanks.. Charley
Hi, this project is required basic After Effects knowledge. Optical Flares is a plugin. You must have it for this project. Check this link for more info: https://www.videocopilot.net/products/opticalflares/
Check out my portfolio, you can find these animation in Quicktime format.
Just a doubt, what is the effect you used for transitions in the preview file? I love it!
I bought this project, Nice work!
Hi again, I’ve used “Film Fade Transition” preset of videocopilot. You can find link below.
http://video9.videocopilot.net/efc5e19e65fe9ca2cbd9818d45ac92a1/presets/projects/vc_presets.zipI bought it. : )
so useful
can I use it in cs6?
please quick answer.
Hi 40kafa, Just bought this template and I use AE 5 .5 for Mac. Each AE template I open it appears “grainy” and “speckled” I have the Optical Flares plugin installed from VideoCoPilot.
I actually like the video sequence just as it is in the demo (minus the text of course). Can you help? Thanks!
