How to create animated maps and routes in Davinci Resolve

Animated Maps with animated routes! Spruce up your travel video with a route that animates through a clip! We're using Davinci Resolve to create it, with Background, Polygon, Drop Shadow, Text, and Transform nodes - with plenty of keyframing and other effects! This is a fun effect that doesn't take a ton of effort to create, but takes a little planning to do it efficiently.

Great work! I will use that on weekend! Just start my own small channel!

[@CreatorReality1]

Awesome, and good luck with your new channel! Remember to have fun. :D

[@GreyBiker99]

Just found your channel and have subscribed. I've jut started my own motovlog channel and am learning Davinci Resolve as I go. These tips are invaluable, thank you!

[@CreatorReality1]

Thanks! Stay tuned, I've got plenty more videos in the works - but if there's something you want to know more about, let me know :D

[@ririlan2137]

easy to follow, nicely done. :))

[@CreatorReality1]

Thanks! Stay tuned - a few videos from now, we'll be adding something more to it :D

[@602North]

Very cool John!

[@CreatorReality1]

Thanks, man!

[@northbysoutheast5439]

[@getfanmedia]

great

[@CreatorReality1]

Thanks!

[@Imkenster08]

I just love how you put you in front of the background for this, how did you do it? lol

[@CreatorReality1]

Thanks! I used Magic Mask - stay tuned, there's a tutorial coming on that one!

[@ScottsMotoAdventures]

this ones cool, we got to get you on a nice long road trip to make your own. I might make one for an upcoming video since Ive been wanting to play with fusion. Do you have any other beginner friendly fusion projects?

[@CreatorReality1]

LOL, yeah, I need longer trips to go on! As for "beginner-friendly" Fusion? I think any of my Fusion tutorials can be followed by beginners. I try to break them down far enough that anyone can follow along at home :D

[@northbysoutheast5439]

Cool
Here to support the channel 😎👍👍👍
