Let’s start with the first product: Map Connections!
Map Connections allows you to add and create unlimited points and
connections.
It is very useful to show correlations between 2 or more
places, or to show the stages of a journey.
Of course you can integrate your animation with pins and call-outs, all these elements adapt their position interactively according to the map fold, so you’re free to change the map fold amount when you want, without having to adjust everything from scratch.
What about the camera animation?
Moving a camera with keyframes, especially for beginners, could be a very difficult task. For this reason, a new camera animation system has been built to facilitate this job.
So you can control the camera simply by adding layer markers! For example, if you want to reach a point called “Building” in 3 seconds, you just need to create a marker at 3 sec and name it “Building”. The camera will smoothly move to reach the “Building” point.
Earth Zoom is one of the most used animations to show the position of a place in the world and reach it with a fast zoom.
Earth Zoom requires “Google Earth Pro”, an application that you can download for free and that must be used to manually collect 6 maps to import into the project.
(Attention: the maps are not automatically downloaded by the template,
this task must be manually done by the user. All instructions are well
explained in the tutorial).
What you need is to take note of each map altitude and type it in a corresponding text field. The template will analyze these infos and it will calculate and place them in the correct position.
The template is subdivided in 2 main animations: The first one is “Map Zoom”: it can be used to create a simple zoom without showing the full globe. Furthermore you can:
- adjust the start and end camera altitude
- set the camera speed
- set the clouds amount
- choose whether to rotate the camera during the zoom or not and add a camera shake effect
- add pins and call-outs on your arrival point
