Today, Mapcreator announces compatibility with the powerful GEOlayers Adobe After Effects extension.
The world loves maps. We see them everyday – in print, online, and on television. For years, mapmakers and cartographers created works of geographic art and visualization as images and interactive dashboards. Mapmaking made a jump from static representations to one that includes dimensions of time – through animation and motion. Maps don’t need to be static or simply interactive on a website anymore.
You can make map videos now, with Mapcreator and GEOlayers.
Long a gold standard among the most cutting-edge media outlets to show maps in motion, GEOlayers adds a whole new level of functionality to Mapcreator. You can see the best of what GEOlayers can do over at Vox Media, CSIS, and many other famous YouTube personalities:
Mapcreator has always been on the cutting edge of making maps for storytelling and editorial use – whether that included static imagery or interactive dashboards. But we have wanted to expand our offering to let our customers create map videos and briefings for their audiences.
In 2021, geodata can now come alive with animation with Mapcreator. For our existing customers, we’re excited to show you what you can do with maps and video. For those still curious, Mapcreator is now a one-stop-shop for all your mapping and geovisualization needs. Static, interactive, or video – Mapcreator can make it for you.
