Maps that move your stories
Broadcast maps need to be fast, accurate, and ready for every screen. Built on decades of cartographic experience, Mapcreator focuses entirely on maps so teams can design, animate, and export on-air visuals without post-production headaches or internal bottlenecks.
Bring your stories to life with animations
Highlight routes or key locations with Auto-keyframe, our animation shortcut that automatically generates smooth camera movements along your line or route. Adjust zoom, tilt, or rotation with a few clicks — the camera does the rest. Mapcreator turns data into broadcast-ready motion graphics effortlessly.
Fast visuals, ready for air
Mapcreator’s intuitive interface lets anyone on your team create ready-to-air maps in minutes. Stay ahead of the story with tools built for broadcast speed. From automatic animations to live-data layers. Export your maps in various formats, including iframes for digital maps, SVG, JPG, PNG and MP4, MOV or image sequence for map animations. Provide your viewers with the latest information in the best possible quality, with animation resolutions from Full-HD to 4k.
Custom maps, on-brand and on time
Use your fonts, colors, icons, and text boxes to create professional, recognizable maps. Ensure that important on-screen text and graphics are visible with your own title-safe settings. Maintain your visual identity and stay in control of how your maps appear on every platform.
Real-time data, real-time context
Add live data layers such as earthquakes, hurricanes, US and Canadian wildfires, the Ukraine war, North American drought conditions, and Fire Danger in Canada. Or connect to reliable election feeds from trusted partners. These layers update continuously, ensuring your maps reflect what’s happening in real time.
Adobe After Effects extension
Cut corners without cutting quality. Mapcreator’s Adobe After Effects extension lets you create and customize map animations inside your existing workflow. This means no exporting or switching tools. Start with pre-defined animation templates, load your styles automatically, and adjust everything in real time.
Seamless newsroom integration
Bring mapping into your existing newsroom or playback workflow. Mapcreator doesn’t replace the tools you already use; it makes the map-making part faster, smoother, and easier to integrate. With support for Adobe After Effects, GEOlayers, and more, you can go from data to air without switching tools.
