Step-by-step guide

Open the Wizard
Click the blue Templates button in the Studio header and select Travel Story from the list.
- 2
Add your first stop
Type your starting location in the search box (e.g. "New York City") and select it from the dropdown. The Wizard geocodes it automatically.

Add more stops
Click Add Stop and type your next destination. Repeat for every location in your itinerary. You can add as many stops as you need — there is no limit.

Choose a transport mode for each leg
Between each pair of stops, toggle the leg mode: the Plane icon draws a curved flight arc (best for intercontinental legs), the Car icon fetches a real road-snapped driving route.

Click Generate Animation
Click the Generate button. The Wizard creates all Storyboard slides, location pins, and route stickers automatically. The map animates from your first stop to the last.

Review and refine
The generated animation is fully editable. Click any Storyboard card to adjust camera position with Retake View, change transition duration, or modify easing. Add text stickers or additional pins as needed.

- The Wizard is the starting point, not the final result. Always refine camera angles with Retake View for the best-looking output.
- Mix Plane and Car legs: use Plane for ocean crossings and Car for European road trips in the same animation.
- For a dramatic world tour, start with a Globe projection slide before zooming into individual stops.
