00:00Hey there, and welcome to SkillsForge Pro.
00:04In today's tutorial, we're diving into a quick and easy way to create a professional-looking
00:08map animation in Canva, all in just a few simple steps and under 4 minutes.
00:14First, we need to place our main map.
00:17Avoid using maps with excessive details like labels and reliefs.
00:21For this example, we'll use a colorful map of Europe and zoom in to focus on France.
00:26Duplicate the map onto a new page and zoom in until France is centered.
00:36Then, apply a transition effect called match and move between the two pages.
00:41Set the transition duration to the maximum for a smooth zoom effect.
00:48On a third page, insert a map outline of France.
00:52You can find one online or directly in Canva's search bar.
00:56Center it, then download this page as a PNG file with a transparent background.
01:17Once downloaded, delete the third page from your project.
01:20Now, re-upload the transparent France map into Canva and place it precisely over the
01:25France section on the second page.
01:28Adjust its position carefully to align it perfectly.
01:37Once the France map is properly placed, it's time to animate.
01:41Apply the Ink animation effect to the transparent PNG and set it to On Enter.
01:46Let's check out the result.
01:53Wow, that looks amazing!
01:57To enhance the animation, let's add the text France on top of the map.
02:16Adjust the font size and choose a stylish font.
02:18I'll go with League Spartan for this example.
02:31Now let's animate the text.
02:33For this, I'll use the burst effect and tweak the animation speed.
02:42Adjust the timing between the map animation and the text reveal to create a seamless effect.
02:55And that's it!
02:56Your professional map animation is ready!
