The video export records your finished poster with a slow camera move: one full orbit or a gentle sway. It saves as an MP4, sized for Reels, Shorts, feed posts or a slide deck.
The video export records the finished poster: the map, routes, places, title, photos, compass and the map credit. The poster frame and text stay still while the map turns inside it, so the clip looks like the print with a little life in it.
If the map is tilted and 3D terrain is on, the video keeps that view. Mountains turn in perspective, which is where an orbit looks its best.
Both motions loop cleanly, so a clip can repeat on a feed or a screen without a visible jump.
| Motion | Orbit | Sway |
|---|---|---|
| Camera move | One full 360° turn | A gentle swing of 18° each way |
| Feels like | Walking around a model | A slow look left and right |
| North | Comes back to the top at the end | Stays near the top throughout |
| Best with | 3D terrain, a peak or a valley | City maps, route posters, anything with lots of text |
Pick the aspect ratio for where the video will go. The whole poster always fits inside the frame. A portrait poster in a landscape video sits between white bands, which looks deliberate on YouTube or a slide.
| Aspect | Standard | High | Use it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9:16 portrait | 720 × 1280 | 1080 × 1920 | Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Stories |
| 4:5 portrait | 856 × 1072 | 1286 × 1608 | Instagram and Facebook feed posts |
| 1:1 square | 960 × 960 | 1440 × 1440 | Square feed posts and LinkedIn |
| 16:9 landscape | 1280 × 720 | 1920 × 1080 | YouTube, slide decks and websites |
| Poster aspect | 806 × 1140 | 1210 × 1712 | The poster with no bands (A3 portrait shown) |
The video records what is on the page, so set the style, routes, text and decorations before you start. For depth, turn on 3D terrain and raise Pitch in the View section of the Map tab.
Choose Export, then Video. Pick Orbit or Sway, a length of 5, 10 or 15 seconds, and a target of 30 or 60 frames per second.
Match the aspect to the platform from the table above. Standard goes up to 1280 px on the long side and High goes up to 1920 px.
The editor plays the motion in real time and records it as it goes. A 10 second clip takes about 10 seconds, plus a few more to prepare and finish the file. Leave the editor tab visible while it records.
The finished MP4 downloads straight from the browser. The recording happens on your device, so nothing is uploaded.
Add 3D terrain and contour lines at the interval you choose for hiking maps.
Turn a run, ride or hike into a poster with the route drawn over the map.
Compare PNG, PDF, layered SVG and layered PSD for print and design work.
Draw walking, cycling or driving time areas from 5 to 60 minutes around a place.
Length, sound, terrain and watermarks.
Choose 5, 10 or 15 seconds. Both motions loop cleanly, so you can repeat a clip in any video editor to make a longer one.
No. The clip shows your poster and the map credit, the same as the printed version.
The MP4 drops straight into CapCut, iMovie, Premiere or the Instagram and TikTok editors, where you can add music, captions and cuts.
Yes. The video uses the same pitch and terrain as your map, so a tilted mountain view stays tilted for the whole clip.
The poster. The video records the finished page, so the same project gives you a print file and a clip to share it.
