Creating a Realistic 3d Earth using only Adobe Premiere Pro CS5
Hi All
I've been trying to creat a Realistic earth in CS5 but when I try to located the Roll effect in the Transition effects folder it's not there. Below is the link at youtube I've been using. Any help locating the Roll Effect would be appreciated.
Thanks
Harry

Roll was an effect last seen in CS3 - Gone since that version.

Shaughan thanks for your reply. Now the next question. What can I use in it's place or am I SOL?
Just my luck.

Not sure, really, Harry. You might look at Blender. For this kind of thing I tend to use products that are specifically designed for this type of thing (doing this in Premiere is a bit of a stretch, albeit doable as illustrated by that video) such as Lightwave. Blender is an open source implementation of the same idea...

Shaughan, thanks so much for you response. I'm lucky in that I've kept CS3 on my computer. I went in CS3 and followed the video and was able to successfully complete it. It's a shame that they, Adobe, leave little things out thinking that we, the customers, won't need them. I do love CS5 but what am going to find missing tomorrow.
Thanks Again
Harry

I just checked and roll is in my CS4 transform folder - I guess it must have picked it up from CS3 if it's nopt part of 4?

It might have, Paul. I have CS4 and CS5 on my main Mac and CS3 on my older Windows machine and it was only on the CS3 version...

You can still use CS5 without the Roll effect. Follow the tutorial and use an image of earth like shown below. Easily made in e.g. Photoshop. Instead of the Roll effect use Motion and keyframe the position.

Thanks Ann, I'll give it a try.

Hi Harry. Does CS5 still have CC Sphere?

In After Effects, use CC Sphere. It is very easy and then you can dynamic link it into Premiere.

FYI, the Mac version has always had fewer effects than the PC version.

Gregory.... CS5 has Spherize in the Distort folder. I don't know if that's what you mean. I searched but couldn't find CC Sphere. Hope this helps.

Hi Harry. I'm on CS3 but have the Production Suite, which might make a difference? The CC Sphere effect is in my Premiere's Perspective folder - not any help I'm afraid if it isn't in yours.

It is included on CS4, as you found it in the Effects > Transform menu....just type in Roll in the search field in the effects list....good way to find anything, just type in part of the name and if it's there it pops up....

Spherize comes with Premiere. CC Sphere (Cycore) is an effect that comes with AE and also works in Premiere (not as smooth as in AE).
