Thanks so much for this, this will really help with my WW2 documentary on operation Barbarossa, its exactly what I've been trying to achieve for the past few weeks but no one explains things as clearly as you do. Much love from the uk
Thanks for this vídeo. I’ve been making history videos, but my maps have been pretty bad. Thanks to your videos, I’m creating better ones now. This one, especially, is going to help me a lot. Thanks again!
Really solid tip about Turbulent Displace on solids vs shape layers. That tripped me up a lot when I was first starting to use Geolayers. To add some additional context for anyone who's curious, the reason that this happens is a difference in how AE renders vector vs raster layers. When you take raster layers into 3D space (or even just resize them) AE interpolates between the positions of each pixel on that layer based on where its fixed position is relative to the camera. This means that turbulent displace can be rendered BEFORE the 3D positioning. On the other hand, shape layers don't have a fixed position because they're vector paths, so AE recalculates the position of the pixels in 2D space every frame. This is true even when the layers are 3d. Even though the path points might be in 3D space, the actual rendered shape isn't projected into 3D the same way. This means that in essence, the displace is being rendered AFTER the 3D transformation instead of before, thus its position shifts when the layer moves relative to the camera. This also applies to other raster effects as well, like roughen edges. One way you can get around this is to precomp your vector layers before applying the effects to them. However, this can cause issues with shapes created using Geolayers because the position values are tied to coordinates. But for everything else, it's a decent workaround.
As a side note, one of the first maps I ever made was a Korean War map, and this tutorial would have definitely come in handy back then. This is much cleaner than the solution that I made at that time.
I make things waaaay more complicated than they need to be. This is fantastic Boone! Thank you for what you do! Your class has helped me a lot and I finally got a tik tok to hit 1M in views. :'). THANK YOU!
I was looking for an example to help create a "Moving Territory" for a short film of mine. This helps immensely! Your channel has been a great help when it comes to learning more and more about After Effects!
Thanks for your instruction. I is very helpful to me. Can you make a video instruction how to add the flag underneath of the maps? You know, Vietnam and Korea have similar history, we were separated.
Heck yes! Check these out. They will probably help you get the job done. th-cam.com/video/ez-nrD4VIPQ/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/pRP86xCworA/w-d-xo.html
Plz make a video on geolayer workflow. How to work on geolayer with your own experience. Like creating one simple project and rendering it is easy. But when we work on big projects managing all files, using same styles and elements in different map comp is difficult. So I kindly request you to make videos on geolayer work flow if possible.
Finally! just the video i was looking for. Thanx! But when you use Turbulence effect you will lose details of the invasion line. If you don't, it will really look too rough and ugly. What do you do then?
i watch your video last one year... currently i have a issue in geo layer whenever i drow a country.. shape layer not showing in my timeline...can anyone fix it??
Same concept. You just have to get the map and shapye layers manually (you can find shape layers of countries on the internet as well) and everything else is mostly the same
Bro i have a question, as the border moves, can we show with fire... If yes, how? I have a project in which i have to show that there was a riot which spreaded across country in map...
Hi Boone, love the tutorial. What's the Korean War Map "anchor"??? Is it another solid layer? I can't figure that part out. What does the anchor do? Also, when I turn on 3D for the "Animate Me Matte", it makes the matte layer disappear in my 3D comp.

Glad to hear that! Thanks for the nice comment. I love to hear when these videos are helpful.
woow, thanks for the tip with the solids! Always precomped the things which was a huge pain in the
i was waiting for these kinda tutorial for along time, thanks for this
Oh my god, finally, I have been waiting for this for half a century

Love you Boone❤ pls keep making this type of Battle map animation tutorials🔥👌
I hope you're subscribed, because that's all I've got coming out. :)

For sure. 👍
omg, this is so cool, i have done exactly the same, i didn't thought this will be super easy to do. Love you bro from Myanmar
What's up Myanmar! Love you too. For real, I absolutely love how simple this rig is.

How do you select 2 polygons to merge ?
Select them both in the GEOlayers panel, and then the merge button should appear at the bottom of the panel.
I Like It
Thanks!
please make a video on map boarders animation without plugin
I wonder how to do the same if you have stroke borders that should be always visible. Is particular, the divining line (common border).
Any news on the course?
He thanks for asking! It's going to be a few months.
@@BooneLovesVideo damn😪 alright
Thnx 👍
You're welcome! 🙌
Hello, it is a very nice video. Please bring more videos about battle animation.
This is going to be the year of battle map tutorials for me. So get ready!

from where we can download geojaso files
Directly from the GEOlayers keyword search in the panel.
@@BooneLovesVideo sir these maps are not correct as the original
really good video but i have a question. Instead of red and blue, is it possible to use the countries flag?

my matte layer is moving changing its shape even when i am zooming and using camera angles . how to fix it?
Make sure it's connected to the map and 3D switch is turned on.
Can you show how to animate machine gun fire on a map
love ❤ ❤
Thanks!
it would be awesome to know it for adobe animate :)
Ha, for real. :)
Can u do this please but with flags, not red or blue backgrounds, I'm having trouble with the matte stuck for 3 days
Is your map connect to the map? And is the 3D switch turned on?
@BooneLovesVideo tnx I finally got it bro, I don't think I would've gotten anywhere without your tutorials 🙏🏻 appreciate it
How do you do this on a simple map. I have a map as a frame hold, and I want red and blue to move over it
It's really just applying to same exact technique, you would just need a country boundary on a map image.
i watch your video last one year... currently i have a issue in geo layer whenever i drow a country.. shape layer not showing in my timeline...can anyone fix it??

Hi sir What app is this?
Adobe After Effects with GEOlayers 3.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I don't have GeoLayers 3. Do you need that plugin to create Map "anchors"??? Thank you in advance.
How you did the thing that your after effects renders only every fifth frame or so while unpaused?
Window > Preview panel. There is a parameter called Skip.
Is there any other plugin you are using apart from geolayers?
