how does this video have everything i need? bro just saved my life!!!!!! THANK YOU BROTHER

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Glad it helped!

[@bryzr]

Im getting into video journalism more these days and your channel has been such a blessing. I hope one day to share geolayers tips and tricks too so I can help ppl like you’ve helped me

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Hey thanks Brian! That's very nice of you to say. Glad the videos are helping.

[@kirillsmiag2995]

Thanks! I work for TV in Poland and use this plugin. Now we draw only maps of the war in Ukraine...No war!

[@jimmykim6513]

so sad.. wish you don't have to draw Ukraine map anymore very soon. Heard Polish helps them a lot in many aspects. Thumbs up! From Korea.

[@BooneLovesVideo]

It really is so sad. I'm in the same situation. Been hired to make Ukraine maps all this week. 🙁

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Indeed, I saw some video of Romanians waiting at the border to welcome the refugees. So lovely to see that. ❤

[@Cruisedaily]

Awesome job on this one! Extremely helpful for beginners to GEOLayers like me ❤

[@ttapplen]

I really appreciated the scaling tip on labels. I had no idea that could be manipulated right over the expression, AND retain the expression benefits! Awesome tip! Thank you!

[@BooneLovesVideo]

😎🐉

[@TheTrackRecord]

Thanks for the shout out Boone, much appreciated! One of the most useful tutorials I’ve seen to date btw.

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Thanks! Our call definitely inspired some of the tips in this tutorial. 😎

[@TheTrackRecord]

@@BooneLovesVideo ye, I saw you included the motion blur one in. I’d missed that when learning the program.

[@SnabbFakta]

This was very helpful. I started using Geolayers a few weeks ago and I did not know that you could download different labels. Thank you!

[@BooneLovesVideo]

You're welcome! Yes indeed, there are a bunch of cool labels hidden away in there.

[@JasonFranciscoVideo]

Thank you so much for creating this video. You’re so awesome! I’ve been using geolayers, in my travel videos, totally inefficiently and my maps looks like garbage. I’m only 10 mins into your video and I’ve learned so much to speed up my workflow… I didn’t even know you could download labels?! I’m mindblown right now. Thanks again and need to get back to watching the rest of this video. 👍

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Jason! Thanks for the kind words. Super happy to see you over on Patreon. Glad to hear that this video was helpful. Got a bunch of cool stuff coming over on the page. And yeah, you can get REALLY advanced with labels. I'll probably create an exclusive tutorial all about it soon. :)

[@JasonFranciscoVideo]

@@BooneLovesVideo Love the exclusive tutorial you’ve already posted on Patreon! Can’t wait to try it out on my own maps to spice things up!! 👌 Looking forward to more!!

[@maadimedia]

This is the best video i have been searching for months or may be a year now. Thank you for very much.

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the nice comment.

Hi Boone, love from bengaluru India 🇮🇳, I think u should create a paid course on geolayers3 from beginner to expert a 50 hrs course or high kind off. 👊 There are many willing to join.. 👊 WeloveBoone

just one word Thank You!!

[@deconstructedbyrishabh6415]

Love it❤️

Love these types of videos, thanks for the added tips Boone. 🙌

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Hey Andy! Thanks for the kind comment. You still cranking out content for Terra Mater?

@@BooneLovesVideo There will be something coming soon! 🌍 Plus videos on a brand new channel I'm launching in the spring 👀

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Hell yeah man. Send links when they're ready. 😎

[@AnimeX-shorts]

Thanks man

[@S0ulH0und]

Thank you so much. This greatly improved my workflow. Do you have any idea how is Johnny Harris able to remove the attribution? Does he have a license from a map provider?

[@shomgerry]

This is a greeaaaat tutorial on the basics. Thank you so much! I saw the plugin has sample templates (projects), and was wondering how to go about editing them. Do you have a tut for that?

[@Infinitelove0143]

You gave A student an opportunity to get work and pay his university fees. Thanks Man please make a paid course on map animation. Many Indian will buy that course. Love from India❤

[@artkiko4460]

So helpful. Nothing I pin to the map tracks with it properly - there's a lag like the pinned item has different keyframe interpolation from the map. Any idea how I can eliminate the sliding? Thanks!

[@CarleBrisson]

Thanks! I just learned a bunch of new stuff for my next project.

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Heck yes! Share a link when you make something. I want to see what you create. :)

[@CarleBrisson]

@@BooneLovesVideo I don't always have mapping requirements in my projects but one of my last ones was this one. This was one of my first uses of GeoLayers for a video project I did for my company. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGSzm2asd9-eg6c (map work at 04:15)

[@adamshalashaska5698]

Is there any way to resize my map after creating it? Example: started my comp as 1080 x 1080 but want to change it to16x9. Theres no options under comp settings for it for some reason.

[@tarjeibjerkedalene]

Great tutorial. Enjoyed it :)

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Thanks, Tarjei! 🙏I need to get started on my GEOlayers course.

[@tarjeibjerkedalene]

@@BooneLovesVideo cool. it will be a great course. you are good at pacing the material and you dont assume the viewer know all the small things (the things that becomes second hand/automated when you get good at plugin/program)

[@willkinder6456]

Hey Boone, great tut as always, but more than that I wanted to compliment you on your sensitive choice of content, absolutely the right choice.

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Hey, Will. Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, definitely didn't seem like the right move.

[@nmac.]

Awsome, Thanks, but can you tell me how can you quickly call an effect like at 16:30?

[@pwl4576]

So so good.

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Hey thanks!

[@AfroVersity]

Started a business based on your geolayers tutorials. Be blessed my man.

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Say what?! That's awesome. Do you have a website or a demo reel? I want to see some stuff. 😎

[@photofreak6936]

When I try to create a route between two cities using the connect features option it says "Can't create route. Unexpected token in JSON at position 0" does anyone know to fix...

[@insidemoshiur]

Thanks from Bangladesh

[@conspiracybot]

hellow sir, can i make an earthquake (kinda like wave moving) with this plugin ?

[@rajatpant5001]

Can you help I’m getting unexpected token N in json at position 0 white creating car route

[@mathiasoscarsson]

This is a question I've thought about.. So if you do all these changes, like add custom layer styles, custom label templates etc etc. Do they remain on the map somehow? Or do I need to make all these every time? Say I make a map about USA and I custom a lot of stuff. Then in a month I want to do a map about Peru. Do I need to recreate all this stuff? Or will they remain some way? Might be a stupid question 😅

[@shadyhamza]

its a fantastic video buddy , thanks alot for such informative tips about using geolayers, which very rare in youtube . please i have a question about the defualt labels on the geolayers, and how to remove it to make a clean map ! thank you again .

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Thanks for the kind words! Which mapcomp imagery are you using? Some maptiles don't allow you to turn off labels.

[@Infotained]

Nice Video Boone Please recreate some of the vox and johnny harris maps... have seen your 2-3 previous tutorial on same they were great

[@BooneLovesVideo]

I will! I've been working with Johnny again on a few recent projects. In fact doing stuff with him all this week. 😀

[@Infotained]

@@BooneLovesVideo Great

[@HoH]

12:25 such a lifesaver. I've been wondering how I was able to pin some layers to my map. Some worked thanks to parenting it to the anchor null, but many didn't.

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Pinning is super helpful, as long as you know how to use it. 😀❤

[@VeeVex]

Exactly!

[@HurKad1985]

I'm facing a problem when I type in RTL Languages like Arabic, do you know how can I fix it in side GEOlayers? or if I can type the city name as a TEXT how can I link it to zoom and move with the map?

[@LosPastrana]

Hi! Great video! Do you know if it is possible to change the composition duration once the map is created? I made a 30-second map animation, but now I need it to be a 45-second animation

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Yes indeed you can. Check the mapcomp settings and change the duration in there. It's listed in seconds.

[@tomaszcz.6949]

Can I download Geodata for specified selected counry ?

[@TheWHack]

I really wanted to learn more from your exclusive tutorial in patron but unfortunately struggle with the payment.

[@caminotellers]

good stuff, thanks!

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the kind feedback.

[@caminotellers]

@@BooneLovesVideo I have a traveling vlog and try to use some of this knowladge to make my videos more appealing, but Ae is still some black magic to me :) now I start the 4000km walking trip and lets see if i can apply some of that. And if you feel like doing more of google earth, I ll more then happy to learn :) hugs

[@BooneLovesVideo]

AE is definitely black magic, haha. Wait, where are you walking!? Definitely got some Google Earth Studio content coming soon.

[@Rrob06]

how do you animate an outline of a border?

[@mathiasoscarsson]

Any chance you share that cloud animation with your patreons? :)

[@TheUnMedia]

Can I get that cloud file, please? 🙏

[@geopol23]

What's your comp specs?

[@oldbrown111]

Thanks for those great tips. I'd like to add latitude/longitude lines to an animating world map. Any clues?

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Yeah you can actually create a custom label template that will pull this data and show it, you just need to know how to create the label. Search for geolayers label templates in youtube. The creator put one together, and he explains how it's done. The tutorial is for GEOlayers 2 I think, but it still works in v3.

[@totesbotes4660]

What hardware are you using?

[@nolandcreative804]

Hey Boone, I was watching one of your tuts and a tip you had was for another plugin/script to easily manage layer visibility states. What plugin was that? Hope to figure it out soon. Great videos, very helpful, thanks!

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Probably Motion 4? And thanks for the kind words!!

[@FactifyMedia]

is there a way to merge borders, for example, to show all the german occupied territory in WW2?

[@sergeylovtsov1778]

Can I select cities that will be visible regardless of the scale? For example, I want to see Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego in a general plan. And moving on to the close-up, I do not need the names of other cities to be shown, except for these 4

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Yes indeed. You would just manually label those four, while turning off the regular labels. There are also specific controls for labels where you can specify at what zoom levels labels will disappear/appear.

[@broadcastbytes]

Thanks as always. You are my Geolayers manual! Lol. Simple question : do you use the maptiler maps? I cannot justify the cost seeming there are other options. Admittedly not as handy for some tasks. However, I was wondering what map providers you predominantly use/ and or prefer.

[@BooneLovesVideo]

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes indeed I use MapTiler, but not for everything. It all depends on how much you're actually going to use it, and if the specific job calls for it. If you're freelancing enough and using it, then naturally it's worth it.

[@broadcastbytes]

@@BooneLovesVideo cheers mate. Hopefully I can justify the cost of maptiler 1 day. For anyone else following, you can use a mapbox map in their webstudio for free to do the same thing. The big difference is you don't get some of the controls within geolayers, you do those in mapbox and then link the map with an API. It's a bit of extra effort, but that's the cost of being free.

[@rickmoore2055]

@@broadcastbytes Hi and thanks for that tip. Do you have a tutorial on how to link a MapBox map to GeoLayers?

[@broadcastbytes]

@@rickmoore2055 From Mapbox Click Publish Click Share - Under "Developer Resources" - Choose "Third Party" - in Dropdown Choose "Carto" - Then Copy the Integration URI In AE Geolayers - Add New Style {The Plus Sign) in Mapcomps - A Box with "Raster Source" will appear - Past into the URI field - Click Apply
