Make your own version
Open the project, then change it by hand on the timeline or ask the agent in the chat. Ideas to start from, with a sentence you can give the agent:
-
Regions of another country.
“Keep this style. Show Germany’s 16 states grouped into north, south, east and west, with labels.”
-
Election or data results by region.
“Same style. Colour the four US census regions by population, with the number on each.”
The free plan opens and edits this project and exports up to 1280 px, videos up to 10 seconds, with a watermark, for personal use. Satellite, 3D terrain and audio in exports, 4K and commercial use come with Pro. See plans.
How it was made
Built by hand in the Maptake editor, without After Effects or a plugin, as a rebuild of a popular After Effects map tutorial on YouTube. Every layer, camera key and label is editable.
