Description

GEOlayers 3 lets you design and animate maps directly in After Effects...

It renders custom maps for you from different online data sources. It also provides direct access to extensive databases of geospatial features of the world. You can easily draw buildings to After Effects shape layers, highlight country borders, streets, lakes, rivers, places, regions, animate driving routes, and extrude buildings. Anything in the world that has geodata can be integrated as an editable asset in After Effects.

GEOlayers 3 comes with a large set of default map styles. But that's not all. One-click lets you create a style from the colors of a composition, an image or Adobe Swatch file. You can also retrieve imagery from any common image-based tileserver. Platforms such as MapTiler Cloud can bring all its advantages of customizable basemaps directly into After Effects.

Purchase GEOLayers 3 with Helium X, Mettle FreeForm Pro or Rowbyte Plexus and get bundle discounts. Discount is automatically added when you add both products to the shopping cart.

What's new in GEOlayers 3

Version 3 is rebuilt from scratch. Since version 2, we've been collecting user input and improving the extension. GEOlayers 3 has been developed to fit your needs.

  • New UI
  • Maps can be pitched and rotated in 3D
  • Automatic Labels
  • Mapstyling directly in After Effects
  • Faster Finalization
  • Scripting API
  • ...and much more

In order to make all this possible, After Effects CC 2015 (13.6) or higher is required. Legacy projects created with GEOlayers version 1 or 2 are not supported by GEOlayers 3. You can still import old GEOlayers 2 server profiles, shape layer styles, and label templates.

Features

Animate in 3D Space

Intuitive controls to animate maps in 3D space

You can scroll, zoom, pitch, and rotate your maps inside After Effects, create keyframes and animate them. GEOlayers 3 renders all the imagery for your animation.

Online Search

Find geographical features online

Search online for countries, cities, famous buildings, points of interest, and much more. The features you find can be labeled in your animation, they can be drawn to your map, downloaded, and even exported out for further analysis in an external GIS program.

Mapstyling

Style your maps however you want

You can style maps directly inside After Effects. Choose colors, adjust the line width, swap fonts, add hillshading to your maps and even show and hide certain groups of features. Note that for full control a MapTiler Cloud account is required.
