Common questions

Quick answers about our map animation maker.

A map video that shows the past unfolding. An empire spreads era by era, a ship crosses an ocean, or a trade route links its cities, with dates and labels at each step. Creators use them in history, education and documentary videos.

Describe the story in order: the places, the years and what happens at each step. Easymotion draws the routes, fills the territory and adds the dates. Or start from a history map template and describe the changes.

Not from a built-in atlas. There is no historical border data, so a prompt maps today's countries, states and provinces and fills them in sequence, with a date on each step. The empire templates draw each era's territory by hand and mark the borders as approximate.

Yes. List the stops in order. A sailing ship, steam train or walking figure follows the route as it draws on, and each stop gets a label and a date.

Yes. Paul's journeys, the Exodus or the spread of the early church work as routes and region fills. Name ancient places like Iconium or Corinth, and add the latitude and longitude for small or uncertain sites.

Yes. Ask for a year that counts up between eras, a timeline bar with labeled dates, or a date card for each stop. Change the years and captions later in chat or in Quick Edit.

Satellite, dark and light maps all work. For an old map look, describe it in your prompt, like aged paper, a nautical chart or a Bible atlas, with the colors you want.

No. Easymotion makes the map visuals only. Add narration and music in your video editor.

Yes, on a paid plan. Paid plans cover commercial use, including monetized channels and client work.

No. Easymotion runs in the browser. No keyframes, no GEOlayers, no plugins. Drop the export into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro.
