OMG, it really worked. Thank you so much. I just followed everything step by step. But I kept thinking to myself "How does this guy even know all this?!?!" I mean, I will sure have to do it a a thousand times to memorize all the steps, but then I would have had no way to even grasp how this all really works. Like I said, I just did play-pause-copy-play-pause-copy. Took forever, but I am so happy now ☺
I haven't watched the video yet, but I love your style. You started with a preview, and didn't introduce yourself. Didn't even say hi, or anything. Right to the point. Well done!
Thanks for posting this. I have been looking for a tutorial on maps in Davinci and this is the perfect level for my editing right now. The level of detail you go into is really helpful. Please keep making Davinci animation tutorials.
WOW, really like this tutorial glad I found it will be able to tart up my maps in the future, my learning curve is exponential and forever finding out new stuff, my poor little brain as only just started on all this and with this application but love the challenge. Cant wait to do a journey now and implement this, thanks!
This has to be the coolest video I’ve seen on RU-vid. It’s so useful to be able to do this. It reminds me of One Piece (I just watched the live action on Netflix) and they use a lot of map animations because it takes place in a pirate world. But this could also be applied to so many different things. It’s like an all in one package and introduces the 3D camera plane concept in a fun and practical way. Thank you for making this video! I’m just a basic user of Davinci and downloaded it because my original editor (Movavi) wouldn’t work anymore on Steam after I updated a driver I needed. I realized how awesome it is and how widely used it is. I always thought it was Adobe only that the pros use lol. But Da Vinci is really popular with pros too and a lot easier to install. I’m a software developer by trade but doing edits will help me conceptualize things. Again many thanks!
Put Vox and Johnny Harris Style Map Edits in your video title and see this video blow up. Gold content. Need more of Resolve tutorials on your channel. You earned a sub, wising you many more.
In case you run into the same problem as us: when drawing the line, it gets displayed in media out with an offset. (ie. you draw on swedens east coast and the line seems to land in the baltic sea in media out) dont be thrown off by that. The line you see is just the helper, not the final result! until you set a border width, the line is actually invisible. so; set a small border width to see the actual result on media out...
I've been wanting to add a travel map to my videos (have a trip coming up, soon) and this is right up there with some of the best tutorials. I've only been using Resolve for a couple of months, now, but this was quite easy to understand (if very quick). I've found a few useful videos for travel map animations but this is the first one that I've seen that uses the 3d plane object. Now I just have to find a good map to use this with. Thanks!
Actually, the way you do this causes some conflict in the way I have my timeline setup. I'm new to Resolve so maybe this is an easy question to answer. Currently, my timeline requires stretch to fit input scaling to accommodate a plugin that allows me to reframe insta360 videos within Resolve. I expect this conflict with the center crop setting you specify in this video. I'm not sure how to deal with this (different input scaling within a timeline). Any pointers? Might be a good topic for another video? For now, all I can think of is somehow exporting a clip with different timeline setting then importing it into another timeline but I'm not sure how that works just yet.
Hei, great tutorial! I actually moved to Trondheim this year. In fact, I am not from Norway but make videos about how it is living here and there maps are a big plus. I used Google Maps screenshots until now but wanted to get better animations for that, you know Johnny Harris style. Your tutorial really makes that clear, even if there are 200 steps to do it (typically Davinci). So thank you for your work (making this video must have taken ages)! PS: If you're up for some FPV flying together, hit me up :)
I saw your video about top tips in Trondheim where you used maps! Keep it up, great video. I would love to see you try using google earth studio for your next project or maybe even my tutorial :D Thank you for watching!
That was absolutely amazing. I don't have previous experience with video editing so the video seems pretty hard for me. The result is top-notch I'll give it a try. Cheers!
26 seconds in and I've liked & sub because you just fucking went balls to the wall with a gorgeous intro and then immediately cut to the tutorial with no fluff. What a legend 🔥🔥
I know this is a basic question, but I haven't figured this part out yet.... how do you scroll, rotate and zoom within the viewer... like when you are changing the camera position??? Thanks in advance.
Here is for starter, you can open merge 3D node in viewer no. 1 it will show camera in viewer then click on the camera edges nd controls will appear To change perspective you can click alt nd press scrolling button of mouse to move.
Hi, This was a great tutorial as I am new to Da Vinci Resolve, except I can't seem to make my polygon line on the Media Out screen follow the same place on the map on my Media In screen. I have made the Media In and Background the exact same resolution (3000x 2030) and my Media Out is (1920x 1080). However my polyline ends up in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and smaller in scale...What could I be doing wrong? Have subscribed because I like your Training style. Keep them coming. Cheers.
I am having this problem as well. It seems to be tied to the scale in the Image Plane. When I set it back to 1.0 my Polylon is in the right place on the mediaout
@@koalanof kinda like an icebreaker, no? Looking at my map now. Clearly the lines are correct. It’s odd and something I hadn’t noticed. I guess the concept of equality and neutrality (gender specific) of nordic countries has left me with the impression that the borders would be the same. But again perceptions aren’t always correct. I am anglo-Swiss with super dark blond hair and super dark blue green eyes. I thought I was African. Go figure - all over the map.
Great tutorial - for me as davinci newbie a bit fast, but I managed to follow 😅 Could you maybe create a video how to add a car symbol or plane symbol animation additionally to the polygon?
By far the best animated map tutorial online. and i went through a dozen. the way the it moves in 3d makes it so unique.. i just wish you'd go a bit slower for beginners. your pace is super fast
great tutorial thanks! Really like the effect for the first 5 seconds of the video too, the camera movement looks pretty straightforward, but whats the blur/depth of field effect?
You go very fast, but we can rewind on RU-vid, but you skip over some things which stop me until I research how to do it. Like moving around the input 3d window. I have to watch over and over to see if you click certain things. I'll get there...
Hi! I cant turn or zoom in and out the map picture on the left side. When i move the mouse it makes a rectange like it want something to highlight... Help please
Hello! M a beginner and stuck in a silly problem. Please help. I'm in Fusion tab and have a map imported. By clicking on + and - i can zoom in out in the map. but can't find anything to hold the map and drag up or down. what is the shortcut to hold and drag up down an image in fusion panel like 3.33 to 3.38 in ur video?
Realy good tutorial! However I have an issue when coming back to the edit page, the fusion composition playback is not smooth, even after rendering, it's like the image is moving/ shaking, in some area, kind of the same effect that you get when Davinci fails to stabilise a video and it's moving all over the place. Did I miss something? Thank you!
Very good but you need to slow down a bit and explain some of the moves , like the spinning camera map screen, i couldn't get mine doing that, we are not all at your level. Never got past 4 mins after 3 hours of trying to see what you were doing that you weren't explaining and mine never ended up like yours at 4 mins in so gave up, need to find someone who will literally hold my hand through this.
Of course, just add keyframes where you want the hold to start. Go forward in time and add another keyframe that has same properties of the first one:)
@@koalanof Thanks. I hope my question has been understood correctly. I want the plot to pause for 4 seconds and then resume. I don't understand how to achieve this with keyframes since the duration of the clip has to get longer. Anyway, I need more explanation.
@@jean-paulfritz8913In case you're still wondering about this; If you go back to the edit page, you can make the clip longer, then return to fusion to add/adjust keyframes. Similar to what he did at the end of the tutorial.
Hi, thank you for this amazing tutorial but i need a help :) I did everything like you suggested but only in 4k timeline, but i have a problem with wobbling when my camera moves, and it seams that it is constant wobbling even after i render video. What is the cause of wobbling, removing some keys on spline didn't help..
HELP: Any tips to do the blur without "OpenGL Renderer". (I have free version, so it doesn't show up there) Ps. I would still like to do the blur in 3D view and not just blur the edges + keyframing.
@@koalanof hello man definitely. I use Davinci Resolve to do my editing of drone footage and found the animation map tutorial very interesting. If you want some ideas for tutorials let me know O am always trying to learn
Hmmm. For some reason I thought that Norway was almost equal to Sweden in land mass. Love to all my friends from Sweden but yea I am biased in favor of Norway. It’s hella cute. ✌🏾
I've created a write-on animation (line travelling on a map, with pop up city names etc) in fusion. The overall length at 16 seconds sees the line travelling at the correct rate, popups at the correct time etc. The problem is that, in order to fit the voice over properly, I need to 'pause' the write on animation (and everything else in that fusion comp) at the 3 second mark - pause of say 5 seconds - and then recommence the composition from the point it left of. I'd really appreciate if someone could tell me an easy way (or indeed any way) of accomplishing this. Cheers
I'm thinking you can either 1. cut to some other b-roll instead of freezing the animation 2. Slow down your animation. Either by adjusting all the elements or changing the speed of the whole comp
@@koalanof Thanks Option 1 really isn't workable as splitting the fusion composition makes it not work properly. Option 2 is probably the only solution - if I can figure out how to slow down a portion by changing keyframes. Is there any way to add some 'time' to the start of the clip to give me some space to work with as the 'pause/slow time' needed is near the beginning of the clip and that would require adjusting fewer keyframes.
Hello. Sorry I don't know where else to ask. I've done few clips now of map moving and I think I'm getting the hang of it. But sadly, I can see tearing always in the same spot when I playback the clips. It happens before the render as well, I just don't know why that could be happening. The tearing as in certain parts of the map will lag behind the rest for few seconds. I think it gets worse the more it's zoomed in. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thank you for the video
@@officiallyizy I have probably the same issue, editing goes well and then out of nowhere wobbles occur, its extremely annoying and I can't find out why it's happening
You need to smooth out your animation like i show towards the end of the video. Your keyframes shouldn't have any sudden changes. Also, tearing occurs when you have fast motion and you need to enable motion blur to smooth it out. Hope this helps:)
I thought I replied already, but I guess it didn't go through. The issue for me didn't have anything to do with keyframes because camera itself was smooth, just the projected image was stuttering. MY SOLUTION: I fixed it by selecting the "ImagePlane3D" node, on the right side going to Controls, and then amping up Subdivisions to 80-100. After rendering again the stuttering way 99% gone and it looked completely fine. Good luck everyone!!
Hey why did you choose to use centre crop with no resizing for mismatched resolution files , instead of scale entire image to fit? can anyone answer? @koalanof
Good question. The reason is because it's just easier to work with when animating the camera. I remember I had some difficulties when using "scale entire image to fit". But you can try it your way and see if it works out ;)
