Real boundaries
Countries, provinces, districts and local units come from Natural Earth and geoBoundaries, open datasets used by newsrooms, with credit kept.
02 · Maps
Animated map shots for your story: a district lighting up, a zoom from the globe to a village, a border drawn in. Every line comes from real open map data, never from an AI guess, because a made-up border is a factual error.
Real renders
Vertical for reels, square for posts, wide for YouTube. Same data, same look.
Countries, provinces, districts and local units come from Natural Earth and geoBoundaries, open datasets used by newsrooms, with credit kept.
Where a border is genuinely disputed, it's drawn as a dashed line with a neutral note, never quietly settled in one side's favour.
Every value shown on a map traces back to your data file or a named public source. Regions without data say "no data", not zero.
You see preview stills and the data sources first. The final video is made only after you say yes.
Get started
Maps come with the same free install as Assets.
Follow the one-line install on the Assets page. When it asks "Also install Map Animation Studio?", answer y. Already installed? Run the same line again and say yes this time.
The maps are drawn in your browser engine and turned into video with ffmpeg. The installer sets up ffmpeg for you.
For example: "Use content-machine to animate a map zooming from Nepal into Dailekh district, 6 seconds, vertical." It asks all its map questions in one go, shows you previews, and renders after you approve.
