Hello, you didnt cover how to make the warslides or text I know how to to do both but im curious on how to do warslides, especially in paint because it has no layers and the text im also curious since it always stay in place and to make it do that takes a while for me
At 9:01 I saw southern PNG marked as formerly a British territory. Well, it wasn't really. Before 1901 it was a colony of Queensland, which had full "Responsible Government" (including its own military) before Australian federation in 1901. After that it was Australian until PNG got independence in 1975. While Queensland (and later Australia) were then part of the British Empire, the Brits had no control of places like Canada and Australia after the individual provinces or colonies were granted Responsible Government, which was in 1860 for Queensland.
The only upgrade I could see using is the terrain overlay. Mountains and valleys are very important, especially in military movements, so seeing troops move around a mountain makes more sense than "why did they go northeast then south instead of going straight toward the capital?"
You can use the square tool, all white, and select the marker tipe. After 3 squares on top of one another, anything under them will no longer be seen. So put a map, 1 or 2 squares on top, make a black lineart, more 1 or 2 squares on top, and the lineart will be under 2 squares while the map will be under 3. The lineart will still be seen and the map not. Now you can just paint the now gray lineart with black and there you have it.
I relate a lot to this - I've always prefered Paint to more advanced programs, and I'm 40 and never moved from paper to tablets - I draw by hand on paper with pencils or pens - and it's often difficult to even admit, because many people will literally take offense, like I'm bragging about art-conservatism or something - but I just could never really adapt to the more advanced programs or equipment I could never afford. I like the processes I've gotten used to - and that's how I prefer to work.
Seeing that folder filled with very *single* frame of a map video, made me realized how much effort you actually put into these videos. Personally, i'd do whatever i can to make my work process convenient & easy at the cost of time (sometimes). But to do something like this is very impressive. I very much respect you dedication to these videos, honest!
I had no clue how you managed to create these great maps in MS Paint, and now I know you use a TRACKPAD I am even more impressed! Your process is also incredibly meticulous; all those layers and images!
The thing I love about them is that they genuinely sound thankful when saying they appreciate support on their videos Not a lot of TH-camrs sound genuine doing that Love your videos❤️😁
8:34 In VEGAS Pro, I'm able to get around this issue (at least when adding media to the timeline) by temporarily setting "New still image length (seconds)" to the value I think would be most appropriate. Of course, that's really only convenient when you're dragging in your image files all at once, and I haven't yet found a convenient way to adjust the length of all of those events simultaneously after they've already been added.
yes, I am very much a visual learner. Simple and informative is what I personally am looking for. I can only imagine how much work it takes just for that small amount of time it is for us. ty man
Yours, the ones of Knights and Generals and the ones of Sam Aronow, are some of the best historical-political maps I've found on TH-cam so far. My most sincere compliments for your great work and effort.
Cool. Since I have also been into this very same stuff my entire life, 🙂it sure is interesting to see such a vid from a fellow Maps and History fan, like myself. In fact, you're inspiring me to start uploading my stuff, too. 🙂
7:10 still better than most of the Historical video animators on TH-cam. Extra Credit and Blue from OSP seems they don't have Historical atlases and maps...
Hello fellow map maker. I make my own maps for my own videos, mostly Europe. but I also make other maps for fun. my map making prosses is a bit different but the same non the less.
I liked the video and I hope you make 1 more explaining more indepth how to draw a more accurate border which i find annoyingly hard. Thank you alot :)
Normally I don’t comment, but this process is sooo torturously inefficient it’s honestly depressing. Here’s what you can do to vastly increase productivity. Hear me out. 1. Make one file with photoshop. This will have every frame needed for an entire video. 2. Photoshop has layers, yes, but it also has folders. Put all the background information (water, macro borders, static text) in one folder. 3. Make a folder for regional borders, and then create a new layer for every regional border you need. 4. Fill all borders with a certain color, and make a duplicate layer for regions that need multiple colors (maybe even create another folder for that region if you’re feeling adventurous) 5. Duplicate each layer and make them white. You can turn on/off the colored and white layers as needed. 6. You can put different frames for the videos into different folders. For instance, name a folder “Frame 1” and have the proper coloring for frame one. 7. Create folders for every frame of the video. 8. All you need to do is turn on / off the folders that correspond to each video frame, and export those as PNGs. No need for multiple files. 9. If you find a mistake, for instance in the static text or the borders, everything is in ONE FILE. If you need to change the year or name of something, you have a folder called “Background”. If you make this change, it will be applied to every layer underneath it. AKA, you only need to make the change once, not 100 times. Save speed is irrelevant. I doubt you’ll actually do this, but I IMPLORE you to at least try the trial for Photoshop. There are some excellent tutorials for free all over TH-cam, if you spend even a day trying to learn, you’ll realize there are sooo much easier ways to do this. You’re smart, you’ll figure it out. I’m also a fan of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, but there really is a reason no one uses paint in the industry.
What resolution do you make your maps? The individual pixels arent really noticable but you need quite a big image to do that. So what size do you usually make your maps?

Hello, you didnt cover how to make the warslides or text
I know how to to do both but im curious on how to do warslides, especially in paint because it has no layers
and the text im also curious since it always stay in place and to make it do that takes a while for me
by text i mean the date
yo tigerstar could you make a remake of WW1 or even a video for the interwar dumpster fire in eastern europe?
I also enjoy using filmora it's not just simple but easy to understand!
Hey I want to do this on my phone is there any apps I can download
The tutorial we all didn’t deserve, but needed
Lol
I think it's the otver way around
Nah it’s the tutorial that is neither deserve nor needed.
@@youtubecommenter4992me who actually needed it 💀
Figured I’d finally make a video like this! The video on Papua New Guinea I made as an example in this video will be tomorrow’s video. Enjoy!
Papua New Guinea is PNG
Hope West Papua gets a mention.

Does procreate work well for this?

I REALLY NEEDED SOMEONE DOING THE TUTORIAL OF THE RESEARCHING, THANK YOU
Buy books or just borrow them
Damn we all here
@@goatmapper I can't
I think OSP Red has a video on researching, but that was a couple years ago
check your local library for old maps/atlases
Learning that he makes his videos in such a scuffed way honestly makes me appreciate them so much more lol
I always wondered how you get the very accurate borders using paint, because paint doesn't use layers
You can use the square tool, all white, and select the marker tipe. After 3 squares on top of one another, anything under them will no longer be seen. So put a map, 1 or 2 squares on top, make a black lineart, more 1 or 2 squares on top, and the lineart will be under 2 squares while the map will be under 3. The lineart will still be seen and the map not. Now you can just paint the now gray lineart with black and there you have it.
I’m my experience it’s more consistently 4 layers
@@TheLegend2T oh yes i forgot to say that i put the map, put one layer, then make the lineart and add 3 layers, sorry
Are you Polish?
@@kaesangpangarep7301they're Indonesian
Ayyy, all of my videos were also done with Paint. It's crazy how far you can get without using anything fancy.
All you gotta do is teach people how to lose hope :P
I LOVE HR CHANNEL
ok

your ability to accurately research front lines never ceases to amaze me, even after all these years.
Having made video´s like yours as well and now seeing you have the exact same strategy and reasons to use simple programs is so nice to see.
ayo when Alternate History of Europe: Battle of the Bulge part 2?
Seeing that folder filled with very *single* frame of a map video, made me realized how much effort you actually put

I also really appreciate your explanation of your research process.

Not a lot of TH-camrs sound genuine doing that
Love your videos❤️😁
I was literally just thinking about this and happened to see this lol.
Also keep up the content Tigerstar, your videos are really fun and informative!
Thank god you showed what film making program you use. I’ve been stonewalled by my own laziness ever since movie maker got removed
You should do a video where you try to draw countries on paint from memory, given how many times you’ve probably traced them
This is exactly how I make my own personal map videos lmao
I thought I was doing it a really strange, basic, and hugely simplistic way.
very specific and detailed
This was very useful video bro. Keep it up.
It''s very interesting comparing another mapmaker's process with mine.

Very repeating drawings process to make a video possible, I respect that.
yes, I am very much a visual learner. Simple and informative is what I personally am looking for. I can only imagine how much work it takes just for that small amount of time it is for us. ty man
Basically he's a level 100 wizard with level 1 gear
The background music in this video is magnificent.
2023 has really been a blessing :D Mapsinanutshell, eastory and now EmperorTiger!!!
yes
Krita can also be used for animating maps, sure it's quite complicated but it's really good at its job with layers, frames and much more
I love the maps
really nice to see the behind the scenes of how u make videos tigerstar. very cool
Thank you for all your work!
The fact that you use ms paint is amazing
Finally, someone else who doesn't like anti-aliasing and publicly shows it
Thank you i was curious how to make it
Bro uploaded the exact video I needed
Let's goooo finally
Yours, the ones of Knights and Generals and the ones of Sam Aronow, are some of the best historical-political maps I've found on TH-cam so far. My most sincere compliments for your great work and effort.
The info we needed~
OMG TY FOR TUTORIAL
Also I know this is cheesy but Second
Cool. Since I have also been into this very same stuff my entire life, 🙂it sure is interesting to see such a vid from a fellow Maps and History fan, like myself.
In fact, you're inspiring me to start uploading my stuff, too. 🙂
Pretty neat 👍🏼; as someone who posts just for fun it’s pretty interesting to see how real creators do their work.
7:10 still better than most of the Historical video animators on TH-cam.
Extra Credit and Blue from OSP seems they don't have Historical atlases and maps...
Ok, what I love best about Tigerstar is that he uses MS Paint. No fancy Photoshop for him. Hehehe...
Eleven months late but FOR GODS SAKE FINALLY.
Well now I know what imma do today at least
Hello fellow map maker. I make my own maps for my own videos, mostly Europe. but I also make other maps for fun. my map making prosses is a bit different but the same non the less.

SALAMAT PO
Thank you for Tutorial
FINALLY A TUTORIAL
Thanks for info
at least you didn't end up like Blue where he bought a whole program just to add hills
Thanks for making this Tiger, I hope to make my own mapping videos one day! ^^
Reminds me of the maps we used to make for NationStates back in the day; what a time!
I still play NationStates. Though I don't bother with much else than the issues.
Emperor spilling the Krabby patty formula
Finally, quite nice.
I REALLY WANT THIS !!
whoever made this song, had a love for windows 95 theme.
6:28 I'm one of those people.
6:00 God tracing borders accurately with a graphic tablet seems hard enough, doing it with a track pad is just hellish punishment to me
A LAPTOP TRACKPAD!?!?!?!?!? ARE YOU INSANE!?!?!??!?!
Anyone know how to use QGIS?
I beg for a tutorial on how to make the rblx animations!!
THANKS
How would you research territorial changes
Imo the biggest challenge of mapping doesn't feel like the process but the time commitment, I could never do that
Forged Pacific ftw 🙌
I was waiting for PowerPoint to make an appearance
Never heard someone pronounce GIS like that 5:31
I hear it all the time.
Tigerstar, we thank you for this video of Imperial Greatness.
we need to get EmperorTigerstar a lot more subscribers so they can make enough money to get a super cool computer

wow!
AWOOG
Is that music the windows 2000 startup sound?
Is there going to be any update on the history of North America: Every year video?
i also agree that anti-aliasing just kinda sucks to execute properly
What resolution do you make your maps? The individual pixels arent really noticable but you need quite a big image to do that. So what size do you usually make your maps?
Wow 😮
Interesting.
I wanna learn to animate :3
i love this also ur videos
I make my maps and videos in the same way.
FIIIINAALLLYYYYY !!!!
its beautifully inefficient, nice
New video!
I love you
I would love to know how you get historical borders so perfect? Like a war or smthing. Thank you
The way you said QGIS made me die a little inside
Make a video on how you tie your shoes
finally
History of North Amercia has been in the makings since my freshmen or sophomore year of highschool 😅
I am listening to you teacher.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Indeed!
That's right
👍
Very good tutorials, honestly interested in doing this for fictional countries on anime lol, especially with detailed world-building like slime
Yay
I wish I could learn all the stuff from you, but I don't how
