Pin it to a place
Any picture, sticker or video can be given an anchor, a longitude and latitude or a place name. It then stays on that spot as the camera moves, the way a pin on a paper map would.
Without an anchor an item sits at a fixed spot on the screen instead, given as a percentage of the frame. That suits titles, badges and logos.
Add a path to make it travel
Give the item a path, up to 12 more places after the anchor. It travels from the anchor through them over the time it is on screen. Steady travel looks best for ships and planes, and a small arc lifts a plane in the middle of its trip.
Turn on follow if the icon points in its direction of travel. Add a gentle float or sway so it does not look pasted on. No line is drawn along the route, so draw one separately if you want the route visible.
Draw routes, arrows and borders
Lines draw themselves on. They can lie on the map in perspective, follow the camera, or sit flat on the screen as hand-drawn arrows. A line can also trace the border two places share, which is how you show where one country ends and another begins.
Know the limits
Each scene has caps so a video stays smooth to preview and export.
- ›Up to 30 stickers, 24 pictures, GIFs or videos, 12 lines and 12 titles per scene.
- ›Sticker width is 4 to 70 percent of the frame, and picture width 2 to 100 percent.
- ›Your library holds 200 assets and 1 GB, and a single video can be up to 100 MB.
- ›Many large moving items on screen at once will slow the preview and the export, so keep scenes focused.
