Hey Fam! My latest video shows how to recreate the flying map from Lord of the Rings! I thought it would be fun to create this since Rings of Power is out now!

The download is a Motion composition. It's not a template built for FCP, so to use it, you will need to open the actual Motion project and change the different positions around to animate where the camera flies.

If you want a better understanding of how to use the map, I recommend you check out this weeks tutorial! 👉 https://youtu.be/Uv3Yfe5mLQI

Again, thank you for your continued support!

This one requires Motion. It’s just the project file, which then can be exported as a video. You technically set it up as a plugin, but it would take a full day of rigging points that the camera can go to, and setting up drop zones for different maps, etc. just much simpler to open up the Motion project in this case!

I am missing something - I tried doing from scratch and it was not animating for me to the spots exactly as I wanted. Something was of. I took the template, replaced the map and again I somehow getting the angle in the way I don't want it. Could you point out which setting removes/add/edits the angle camera points into 3d map please?

I"m very new to motion but in your video you say you can switch out my map and use your own. Could you say how without completely building the motion project from scratch?

Hey Ian! If you open the Motion project, then go to the top of the layers panel, you should see a “media” tab. If you click that, you should see the map included. Select that map, and on the left side should be a button in the inspector to replace the image. Once you do that, you should be good to go!

Been a Lord of the Rings fan for 50 years. This video sealed the deal. Had to become a patron. You deserve it. So excited to learn from you. 😀

Hi Dylan. I've tried to follow the tutorial and use the template you shared, but am having zero luck! I can import my map, put the box where I want position 1 to be, but in active camera, position one just looks like a red triangle on a black background and the map is only showing a small square in the center and is out of focus. Am I missing something with using this template? As you can tell, I'm new to Motion, but very motivated to use Motion to move around a map! Thanks! Any help is much appreciated!

Hey Margo, I think the red triangle might have to do with it missing the actual map! If you go to the link in the description of my video, you should be able to download the map. Then you can drag that map into the project! I thought I had set it up so the map came included with the download, but it's sounding like I might have messed something up! You can also just bring in a totally different map if that's what you prefer. As far as the focus goes, if you select the camera, you can go into the properties of the camera, and change the focus amount, and offset! You can also go to the top right of the viewer, and select Render > Depth Of Field and that will disable the DOF all together. Hoping that info helps!
