Manually adding and tracking text labels on a moving map can be a tedious process. GEOlayers 3 automates this. The plugin can add labels to geographical features with a single click. These labels are not static; they can be customized using default templates, or you can design your own unique label compositions. Perhaps most importantly, the labels are dynamic and can be programmed to move and scale with the map during 3D camera moves, saving animators countless hours of manual keyframing.
One of the most powerful features of GEOlayers 3 1.0 is its ability to draw paths and shapes based on actual GIS coordinates. You can select a country, state, or custom route, and the plugin will automatically generate an After Effects shape layer that perfectly matches the geographic boundaries. Labels stay locked to their real-world coordinates, automatically scaling and rotating with camera movements. The Core Workflow
