Google earth zoom effect

I was inspired by an After Effects tutorial in this month edition from the Digital Arts magazine. This tutorial is also available through:

http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/tuto ... ureID=1618

Based on what I read I tried to create a simular effect with my copy of Anime Studio Pro (I don't own a copy of After Effects as it is very expensive software.....).

The result can be downloaded from:

PS I uploaded the files also to Youtube and Google Video, the quality was however very poor and you could hardly see it was a zoom effect. Therefore I posted Quicktimes instead.

I also had a look at the tutorial you mentioned. Actually I was inspired by the magazine tutorial but I couldn't understand everything from the article as I don't know After Effects at all. I searched a little on the net and I found the tutorial you mentioned, altough I lack the specific After Effects knowlegde I could understand what he was explaining and afterwards I used the explanation to create my version of the Google Earth zoom from the magazine with Anime Studio Pro.

Well done Moorsel. I'm sure it is every bit as good as after effects. That software is just far too expensive for a hobbyist like me.

Can you explain how you did it :) Glad you figured it out.
