Nice work! :) I have some question here. When I insert video (5 mins length) into placeholder. The sound is okay in Media Holder composition as I Ram preview. However, when it comes to Overlay element for coordinate and Adjust Duration, the sound of video is horrible (flabby and delay). Please kindly advice

You mean I set Time strecth from 2.00 to 4.00, right?

it’s because my video has 4 mins length, and I want it to finish playing before zoomout. Do you have other workaround for that?

Thank you

If you change stretch value of “Overlay Elements for Coordinate 02” to 100 in “Scene 02” problem will be fixed. You can extend this layer without stretching.

I will try when I get back home, and I will let you know :)

Thank you a lot :D

Hello I am trying to use the Map Generator Wizard, I don’t see any links or files inside the package that link me to that part, or any links in the downloads section that tells me where to find that part of the toolkit, thanks.

It seems you have never purchased this template. Please give me your purchasing information.

We accidentally bought animated earth instead of the one with the zoom tool kit. Can I pay the difference and upgrade? Here is the purchase code:

Purchase code: 8007183e-99ff-456b-ab8d-316557bb3047

Thanks

How can I make it not spin as it zooms in?

I will add this option in next update but you can reduce the camera tilt effect following these steps. Also please watch video in link below.

1. Open “ZoomOut 01” pre-comp in the “04 PRE-COMPS/01 Scenes” folder. This pre-comp for coordinates 01 to coordinate 02. If you need to change animation for coordinate 04 to coordinate 05 then select “ZoomOut 04”

2. Select “ZoomControl” layer and hit “U” key on your keyboard.

3. Double click on the second keyframe of “Z Rotation” and change the value to 0.

4. Change expression code as shown video.

Unique Project! Good luck!

WoW.. nice Stuff!

I loaded the project but it comes up and says that 24 files are missing since the project was saved last??? Help so all I see is color bars everywhere

I solve the problem…thanks

A friend of mine bought your toolkit its really awesome we like it. We did everything but when we change the frame rate to 25 fps it gives us an error: “attempt to get a value from time stream with no key values” It doesnt give us the same error when we convertit to 24 or 23.976 only on the 25 frame rate. Any ideas anyone?

Ok absolutely my bad guys just found out its because i had a trimmed layer. Any ideas how i can avoid this in the future cause I really needed to freeze the frame for a second there

Firstly render template. Import it into After Effects as footage then use freeze frame.

Hello, i bought the sound file “Hi-Tech Cybernetic Device.wav” and i imported it like the tutorial video 11. 1:1

If i render my vid, theres no sound, whats wrong?

1) “01 Hi-Tech Cybernetic Device” link to library items.

2) Yes it is. Firstly extend the duration of the Globe Settings. Then add key frame to “Day/Night” slider on Globe Settings layer.

Hi MotionApe, thank you, it works.

Last question: what i have todo for earth-rotating on globe settings, any quick tip? It seems the earth is just a flat image

You can increase Continuous Rotation’s value on “Scene Settings”.

Is it possible to remove the satellite from the graphic?

Is it possible to zoom in but only to continent level? not so close

Yes it is possible to remove the satellite. You can trim the comp after first zoom in-out.

It is not possible to zoom in to continent level. The toolkit can’t do that automaticly but i can be done by manually. It requires advanced After Effects skills.

Hi, Nice work! 95% works, but I have trouble adding “Frozen Wind Trailer” so it plays from the beginning of the video. Now it starts playing at the same time as “Hi-tech Cybernetic Device” plays ( I imported “frozen wind trailer” exactly the same way as with “Hi-tech Cybernetic Device”).

Could you send me a video link or x-steps way of fixing it?

Hi, Import “Frozen Wind Trailer” into “Adjust Durations (Render)” pre-comp not “Hi-tech Cybernetic Device”.

The template works really well… until it comes to rendering.

I am using a 4 core laptop with 8gb ram and it takes 6 hours to render.

Anyway to speed this?

Sure. Sent me email from my profile page please.

Can you please do this again? I had to make a change

I keep getting the following error, which forces me to quit After Effects. There is something wrong with the zooming in your project with the latest versions of the software. My After Effects works well with just about everything I throw at it, except this project.

“After Effects error: attempt to get a value from a time stream with no key values. ( 29 :: 36 ).

I’m using the version for plugins.

Can you tell me which frame exactly do you get this error, while editing or rendering?

It’s during editing, and it’s a nightmare. It’s not just a frame. Seems like an expression somewhere. It happens if I’m scrubbing or just working in Adjust Durations (Render). I tried going to 04 PRE-COMPS/01 Scenes and it happens in most of this scenes too.

I really want to edit the Plexus scene and adjust the flares, but I have no way to do it right now.

I’m running the latest versions of After Effects CC, Plexus 2.0 and Optical Flares on OSX Yosemite (also completely up to date). System is a iMac 5K. It has a 4GB RADEON with 32GB RAM and plenty of storage.

I did try turning off “Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously” and also turning down the “RAM Allocation per background CPU” just in case there were memory issues, but nothing has helped so far.

The pre-rendered plugin .aep you provide works fine, it’s just the plug-in version that is failing, and that’s the one I want to use! I can’t even trouble shoot it, because that error dialog repeats infinitely, so I have to Force Quit AE to get out.

Lets see, you say non-plugin version works fine but plug-in version gives error. So one of the plug-ins causes that problem. By the way I’ve tested the template on AE CC and AE CC 2014 everything works fine. You want to edit plexus and optical flares, i think you don’t need particular? My solution: I will give you specific plug-in version (only plexus and optical flares) If particular causes that problem, It will be done. Otherwise I will try find problem in other plug-ins. Please send me email from my profile page to get new project file.

I have followed your tutorials and everything…But you have not mentioned anywhere that how to render this.

I am not an expert in after effects, so i need a tutorial for that. I want to make my video exactly like what you have shown in the demo. Right from start to end of your demo video, i want mine to be the same as well but with my custom locations.

It will be great if you can send me on how to make one.

I have done all the customization like map images, co-ordinates of my locations and everything. I just want to know how to create a composition and render it exactly like what you shown in the demo from start to end.

So you basically have to send me a video or way on how to create composition + render it like the demo.

It seems you have never purchased this template. Please send me your purchasing information.

My webmaster purchased it for me, as i do not have technical knowledge of such stuff. But the guy is no longer working for me now otherwise he would have come for your support, not me and i had to do stuff following tutorials until i find a new webmaster.

I have never visited envato – i hardly knew even on how to comment. This is just now i have to come to seek your support.

So i am facing difficulty regarding the issue i mentioned, it will be great if you can help me with that – Thank you as i am in the middle of something and i want to get things done as quickly as possible.

I understand but verifying is necessary. Please contact with your webmaster ask him for purchasing information, send me purchase code and username information . Authors only give support customers who purchased templates.

Is there any way to have the first level start wider as Im trying to zoom in from above Australia and NZ but it’s cutting off half of Australia at the moment. Thank you.

Hi please contact me via email from my profile page.

Extremely impressive stuff! Well done!

Hi, This is a great template. However i hope you can help. I want to add the title sequences before the final logo reveal, the problem is I cant seem to find them anywhere at all and not sure how to get them into the template. Hope you can help. Thanks

Importing title sequence into to main template is not a good idea. First export as a movie title sequence then export main template too. Import both movies to After Effects and merge them as you wish. Please watch the video. It will give you idea. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7526694/tutorials/merging_videos.mp4

Awsome, thanks for that, much appreciated

Both firefox and google chrome keep freezing when I try to take the screen grab of the coordinates at level 01 with those plugins; I don’t even have the opportunity to give it a file name before it freezes in either program.

Any ideas?

i’m on a new macbook pro retina.

i’ll try updating the browsers! just installed the plug-in so it should be the latest version… haven’t tried the other levels, but I need all of them no?

still getting the beachball on firefox after installing latest version; coordinates 49.27382,-123.15980

Please send me email from my profile page (at right-bottom). Give the coordinates i’ll send you images.
