Hi -

I'd say, in PD, even for an experienced user that would take some doing. For a rookie director, it'd really take some doing.

There are parts of it that could be generated quite easily, like the animated maps. You asked about making a 3D theme? Not sure what you mean... but there's certainly no instant way to create that sort of thing with PD.

The transitions in the video you linked would be easy to make with PD. That's just a motion slideshow with graphics & titles overlaid.

Cheers - Tony

Hi,

I have never made an animated travel route.
Would like to give it a try, but I suspect it will be a real load of work
if not using something for animation. Have any of you tried this?

Been googling for a while. Lots of options on maps, not so many on
maps+animation.

Hi rookiedirector -

You can use PDs colour boards to make the title bars - with motion paths applied. The title can be done in PD too.

An alternative would be creating your own title bar in separate graphics software, like the one attached. I just used a snapshot of the screen & made the background transparent.

If you open the attached project, you should be able to see how it works. It's just made with PD's colour boards to show the idea.

Cheers - Tony
