One big thing everyone is overlooking….. it is a strict violation of Google Earth copyright to do this!
If you want to skirt Google’s lawyers, spring for Google Earth PRO ($400/yr) which actually gives you the right to use Google Earth for commercial purposes.
Otherwise, you’re in violation of copyright law!

thank you for this post, it worked really well. I did find that the resulting movie file was quite big (about 1 GB for 12 seconds), which was probably the reason it played in a rather jerky way instead of the original smooth movement. I ended up compressing the file (using Windows Live Movie Maker), cutting down the file size to 10 or 20 MB without much loss in image quality, and now the file plays well.

I was able to get a down ward view by just using the right mouse button. First I went all the way down to the building I wanted, my starting point. And then turned off all the layers on the bottom left of the screen. Then right click on the mouse holding it down, move the arrow down ward and the screen will start to climb, how fast it goes depends on how far you move the arrow from the circle. Once you are clear out in space, do not let go of the mouse button, just move the arrow above the circle and you will slowly go down all the way back to the point where you started. Again how fast depends on how far from the circle you hold the arrow. The circle and arrow are on the screen the whole time, but that may not be a problem for some. I thought it was really cool!

Great tutorial. Note you can zoom in and out of Google earth using the PgUp and PgDwn keys as well. This means you can move the mouse cursor out of the way first.
I use Sony Vegas video editing, so reversing a clip is simple..

Great program! I have a minor glitch I was wondering if you had some insight into.. when I playback my video it is totally choppy and freezes intermittently. Any ideas how to improve that?
