Features

Everything you need to make a place come alive

A focused studio for map flyover films: from the first line of script to a scheduled post.

The map

Places drawn correctly

The most common way map videos go wrong is the outline. This is where we spent the most care.

Real boundaries

Countries, regions, cities and landmarks come from OpenStreetMap, ranked against alternatives so the right one is chosen first.

Mainland framing

Far-flung islands and overseas territories are kept out of the frame, so a country is framed as the country people picture.

Fix it in one tap

Switch to another candidate, draw a circle of a given radius, or import your own GeoJSON shape for any scene.

Satellite imagery

Esri imagery by default. Add your own Mapbox token for finer detail in exports.

The film

Camera, cards and captions

Everything that appears on screen can be adjusted, per scene or for the whole project.

Cinematic camera

Pitch, bearing, orbit direction, motion speed and flight time for each scene, with an automatic cruise zoom-out between places.

Word-highlighted captions

The spoken word lights up as it is said. Seven presets, eight fonts, outline, shadow, background plate, position and animation.

Stat cards and place chip

Timed cards for numbers and facts, plus a place chip with the country flag. Set separate sizes for vertical and landscape.

Vertical and landscape

One project, 9:16 or 16:9. Zoom and overlay sizes adapt so both look right.

The voice

Narration and timing

Bring the words, and the studio takes care of the timing.

Narration with your Gemini key

Pick a voice and style, generate the audio, or upload your own recording. Narration costs go to your Google account only.

Timed to the word

Groq Whisper listens to the audio. Your script stays exactly as written; only the times come from the recording.

Edit by hand

Every caption and its start and end time can be changed in the editor, and exported as SRT.

Automation

Agents and publishing

Hand the repetitive parts to an assistant, then ship on a schedule.

MCP server

Create projects, write scripts, generate narration, time captions, resolve places and save scenes from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients.

Documented to the last option

A full scene reference and JSON schema are served to the agent, and every scene is validated with plain-language fixes before it is saved.

Buffer scheduling

Add an exported video to your Buffer queue or pick an exact time, for several channels at once, with YouTube and Facebook options.

Rendering

Export without a render farm

Videos are made on your device, so there is nothing to wait for in a queue.

Browser rendering

FFmpeg runs in your browser. Each frame waits for its satellite tiles, so exports are not left with blank patches.

Keep working

While an export runs you can move around the editor. Your edits are saved, and apply to the next export.

Saved to your library

Finished videos are saved to your account so you can download or share them again later.

FAQ

Questions about the studio

Does Mapflyover use real map data?

Yes. Real satellite imagery and real boundary data. Nothing is generated by AI.

Can I control the camera myself?

Yes. Every scene has pitch, bearing, zoom, speed and timing controls, whether it was made by hand or by an agent.

Which imagery is used?

Esri satellite imagery by default, and Mapbox with your own public token if you want more detail.

Can I export in 4K?

On the Studio plan. Pro exports up to 1080p. Free has no MP4 export.

Is it a 3D terrain simulator?

The camera tilts and orbits over real satellite imagery. There are no 3D buildings or elevation model at the moment.
