You can now style your added photos directly on your map with frames, control their size and duration, and visually highlight destinations in a way that feels personal and immersive.
Travel animations are no longer just about moving icons and route lines. Today, the most engaging travel videos combine animated routes with real images to tell a complete story. With the latest update in TravelAnimator, image customization has become more features, flexible, and creator-friendly.
In this guide, we’ll guide you through everything you need to know about image customization in TravelAnimator, including why images matter, where to find the image editor, all available customization options, step-by-step instructions, best practices, and real-world use cases.
Image Customization Options Available in TravelAnimator
The latest update introduces several image customization controls designed to keep things simple while offering creative flexibility. Let’s go through each option in detail.
Add Image
This is the starting point for image customization. Upload images directly from your device or replace images anytime without deleting the frame. You can add pictures at any stop of the animation. This allows you to experiment freely without worrying about mistakes.
Image Frames
Frames define the look and feel of your image on the map. TravelAnimator offers multiple frame styles, including clean square frames, decorative postcard-style frames, minimal modern borders, festive themed frames, and rounded and circular frames.
Frames help your image stand out from the map background and match the theme of your video, whether it’s professional, casual, festive, or storytelling-focused. You can change the frame or its color at any time, even after placing the image.
Add Text
Toggle the Add Text option at the bottom of the screen to add text under the image. Both images and text come together in the map make the animation more understandable. From there, you can also select the font style and font color of the text.
Image Duration
The duration setting controls how long the image appears during the animation. You can show pictures briefly in fast-paced videos and keep them longer for storytelling or explanations. This is especially useful when syncing images with the movement of your route or when highlighting essential moments. It can adjust the duration between 1 to 5 seconds.
Image Size
The size control lets you scale the image up or down. This is useful for highlighting key destinations, keeping the map visible and uncluttered, and balancing visuals on small mobile screens. A well-sized image ensures your video looks clean and professional, especially on vertical formats like 9:16.
Remove Image
If any mistakes happened, easily remove the image using the remove option and clean up your project without starting over. This makes editing stress-free and beginner-friendly.
