Here's how to create historical maps using GEOlayers in Adobe After Effects.

If you are having problems to find the files after setting the Search Feature, you just need to create the mapcomp FIRST and then search for the historical geojson files. I've seen many people asking about this issue here, I had the same problem, hope it helps!

Amazing one man ! Just learned the best thing from your channel . I used to manualy draw the Historical areas on GEOlayers before. Damn this saved a lot of time ! Thanks ! 🥰

2:36 You need to type master because it must be the primary branch on which the data is pulled when the contributer does a commit on the repo.

this is one of the most important Video for Geo Layers users

2:39 the word master need to type because in the github repo, the final or updated project in the name of master branch. Branch means it's kind of a folder in github. Branches use in git and github for version controlling of an application, software or projects. Older version of a project could be in other branches but the final or update project always will be in the main branch which could any name 'master', 'main' or whatever. But most of the time it is either 'main' or 'master'.

Thank you for this video, it is so helpful as always :) I had a good laugh as well : "Blame it on André" may become a new trend among cartographers. Poor André! And thank you for your work if you ever read this.

i am watching your every video loving it

Thank you Boone! This tutorial is a godsend!
I always wondered if there is an easier solution than drawing borders manually in photoshop and trying to resize and morph all the different reference maps to fit the composition. I guess I have my answer.

Thank you Boone for sharing this tutorial. Am beginner with geolayers so, am having problems to fitting the rome empire image to fit inside the country as a mask. In the banner you got that little star the same when you add label of a place. i think am having a problem to put the map as a label than use the effect. i dont know am just guessing. best regards

[hackie]

What a beautificent useful stuff. Thanks a lot.

[mingjai]

Wow you have no idea how valuable this is. Big thanks from HK!
Do you have any idea where else can we find geodata like the EU? or British empire?

[burakalay]

well, for some reason there is no such thing as "feature search" in the section of preferences. What should i do, can you help me out please?

[peterheynen]

This was super helpful, thank you very much 🙂

[mehas]

Just what I need. BTW, master in GitHub refers to which branch you want to pull from, with master being "main" branch. Thanks

[MetalJare]

you have to put Master on the config because it's a repository.. you are selection the branch name (there could be infinite branch names.. but usally the stable branch of data it's Master)

[michaelsweeney]

This is as close to an animated battle map as I can get, you know, with the little blue rectangles and Frederick der Gross sneaking up on the Austrians from behind.
