Qs Spinning Globe animation

[_Paz_]

I like this spinning globe animation.

I'd like to have something like this in a web page for a column I'll put together called 'Art World News' about happenings in the um, art world. I'd like for it to be re-sized to be about 175 pixels square and with a clear background so the golden globe could rotate over whatever color my page background is. (I may change bg colors often to set off featured paintings.)

How would I go about making these changes? Reducing size, even from the web format they offer, changing shape from rectangular to square and no background?

I have Premiere Elements 11, Premiere Pro CS6 and After Effects CS6. And Photoshop CS6.

thanks for any suggestions,

Paz

You should be able to create the animation in After Effects and then output as a SWF file.

We have a number of spinning globe animations available here at Muvipix.

In fact, if you look down at the bottom of the page I've linked you to, you'll see Globe 004 Motion Element -- the very element that the person who created that Shutterstock video loop used to create it!

Motion Elements can be used in programs like After Effects to create custom animated clips. And all you need to get and use ours is a subscription to our site.

Thanks guys!

Steve - I'll look into the subscriptions again. It's been a while and I have a better idea of what the site is about now than I did when I first joined.

Bob -

WOW! Yes. It's perfect! Thanks!!!

You are very welcome!

In case you're interested, I used a combination of Photoshop and After Effects CS6 to make the gif.

Thanks again.

I put it into my page and decided the golden tones looked a little green against my background so I played around with some adjustment layers in PSCS 6. I made a warmer gold version and a white/silver version.

Between the three of them I ought to always have one that will be absolutely perfect!
