Everything AYK Maps can animate.

Routes, regions, data, labels and the camera — every feature of the studio in one place, with the names you will see on screen.

Ways to start

Begin from a sentence, a template, three quick questions or a blank map.

AI scene builder: Type the map you want in the AI agent tab and the AI builds an editable scene: places, routes, regions, camera and titles. Ask for changes in follow-up messages.
Templates: 20+ starter templates for flights, road trips, sea lanes, elections, data maps and globe reveals. Use one as is or remix it with AI.
Guided setup: Answer three questions (what the video is about, your places, the format) and get a first version.
Build by hand: The Studio tab gives you every control: stops, routes, regions, data, text and timing.

Lines that draw themselves across the map as the story plays.

Route types: Flight, Arc, Hub (one origin to many places), Hub-in (many places into one) and Mesh (every place connected to every other).
Path shapes: Straight, Follow roads (Drive, Cycle or Walk on real roads) and Sea lanes (ship routes on a real maritime network).
Multiple routes: Add several routes to one scene, each with its own stops and style.
Line and motion: Solid, dashed or dotted lines; effects such as Comet, Dashes, Flow, Pulse and Glow; Linear, Smooth or Pause pacing at each stop.
Travel markers: Plane, car, train, ship, bus, bike, truck, walker, rocket or a dot — plus 3D plane, car, truck, motorbike, bicycle and boat models that turn with the route. Or upload your own image.
Stops: Search any city, place or address, click the map to add stops, and sort them by proximity.

Highlight places, from continents down to states and provinces.

Levels: Continent, Country, State (states and provinces worldwide) and Ocean / Sea.
Fills: Solid, Hatch, Dots or Gradient, in one colour or a random colour per region.
Borders: Solid, dashed or dotted borders, with an animated border option.
Emphasis: Pulse, Glow, Electric, Flicker, Flash or a colour shift to draw the eye.
Reveal: Light regions up One by one, or All together.

Numbers on the map, animated so the pattern builds up on screen.

Map types: Choropleth (regions coloured by value), Bubbles (circles sized by value) and Heatmap (density).
Regions: World countries, US states and India states in the Data map panel; the AI can also colour states and provinces of other countries.
Scales and palettes: Smooth, Classes or Categories scales, with colour palettes chosen to suit the map style.
Legends: Automatic legends and value labels that you can move and resize.

Everything that explains the map to the viewer.

10 callout styles: Stem card, Leader, Numbered, Pill, Stat, Badge, Circle, Quote, Arrow and Flag — pinned to places, with an optional country flag.
Callout timing: Auto, At once, or In order as the route reaches each place.
Free text: Sans, Display, Serif, Mono or Hand fonts; bold, italic and uppercase; size, colour, outline, shadow, spacing and rotation; no background, a box or a pill. Place it on the frame, on a map location or in a corner.
Titles: A title card with a subtitle that names the scene.
Stat cards: A stop count, a big number, a bar chart or a trend line, with a caption and unit.
Images: Upload an image or photo and place it on the map or the frame.
Compass: Classic, Minimal or Needle, in any corner.
Entrances: Overlays appear with Rise, Fade, Wipe or Instant.

Camera moves that make a map feel like footage, not a screenshot.

Motion presets: Hold, Fly in, Push in, Pull back, Orbit, Drift and Follow.
Auto-fix: The Camera Director plans the whole camera — framing each part of the story in turn — and keeps the shots editable.
2D and 3D view: A flat top-down view or a tilted 3D view.
Keyframes: Fine-tune zoom, tilt and rotation on the timeline. What you see in the preview is what you get in the export, at every size.

Open map data, styled your way.

Basemaps: Satellite, Streets, Light, Dark, Grey and Black.
Skins: Old Atlas, Sea Chart, Chalkboard, Newsprint, Blueprint, Golden Hour, Swiss Topo and Neon Night.
Globe or flat: A 3D globe or a flat map.
Depth: Terrain relief and 3D buildings.
Accent colour: One accent colour ties routes, pins and highlights together.

Bring places, tracks and shapes from other tools (Starter plan and above).

Files: CSV, JSON, GeoJSON, KML, KMZ and GPX.
GPS tracks: A GPX track becomes an animated route; named waypoints become stops.
Spreadsheets: A CSV of places and values becomes pins, a route or a data map.

Ready for YouTube, Reels, Shorts, slides and print.

Formats: Video (MP4), image, PDF, or a share link.
Sizes: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5, at 30 or 60 fps.
