The Best PLUGINS for Map Animators 🗺️🔌❤️

You can find links to all these tools down in the video description . I'm going to start off with the free options and then I'll move up in price from there . So, first and foremost, we have Orb from Video Copilot, which allows you to create globes directly inside of geololayers . In fact, you can find a template project called Globe, which already has everything set up . So, if you have Orb installed, everything should work just fine . The only caveat is you can't zoom in very far . You need to keep it [music] to a country scale level . But the best part is it's 100% free . I have an in-depth tutorial on orb over on my Patreon page if you want to go take a closer look . Next up is set path key frames . Another great freebie. . This one is super helpful . So, when you're making maps with geo layers, they draw out as shape layers . And many of these have multipolygons [music] which basically come in as multiple shape groups inside a single shape layer . Sometimes just finding the specific shape group that you're looking for can be next to impossible . If you'd like to quickly animate all of your paths and simply add key frames across all of them, you can use this tool . Simply put your playhead where you want it and press set path key frames . Then you can manually move whatever paths you want and move the playhead and repeat . This is especially useful if you want to create invasion [music] visualizations inside of ge layers . This will allow you to very quickly animate front lines of a war . So I actually create a lot of number counter animations when I'm doing time-lapse map animations . This consists of animating the source text via a slider control bar . And what this can actually cause is some wobbling in your font and text [music] layers . You could always just switch to a monospace friendly font or you can use . Monospacer allows you to put spacing in between all the characters of your [music] text and keep it rock solid throughout your animations . It will work on any font and there's a bunch of customization options so you can get everything to look exactly how you want on each individual character . It really is very helpful . With AE Purer, you can very quickly purge all of your cash . It's as simple as one click . Now, this might sound a little bit silly
