Step 11ĭrag and drop this onto your Line layer. The location of the Write-On varies, depending on your version, so find it by doing a quick search in the Effects & Presets field. This will create a path that will be used as an animated mask by the Write-On effect. Select the Pen tool and, while working in the Layer window, draw a line that closely overlays your route. You may need to click on the Fit Up to 100% option to view the entire image. Step 8ĭrag the Map_with_Line Layers folder into the composition timeline, making sure the Line layer is on top, and double-click on the Line layer. Import your layered Map_With_Line.PSD file as a comp and, when prompted, select Editable Layer Styles. If you have a little more time and are familiar with Photoshop and After Effects, you can, without much effort, create a very accurate line charging down every byway you took, complete with panning and zooming camera movements. If you're short on time, the quickest way to produce this effect is to simply find an image of a map encompassing your route, use a paint program to draw a line on one copy, load it and a clean copy into your favorite editing package and do a wipe between the two.
There are, of course, degrees of finesse you can accomplish with this effect if you have the time, the tools and the skill (or at least the interest to learn). There's no better way to highlight the video of your return road trip than by creating a classic animated line careening along every curve of your circuitous route. You live in Santa Barbara and plan to do some sightseeing on your trip back in the beautiful and desolate San Joaquin Valley.
So, you've decided to come to one of the popular video workshops at our offices in Northern California.

No Indiana Jones movie would be complete until you have fun creating an animated airplane-crossing-the-world map. Your travel video is almost complete, but needs that last element to show off your adventures.
