TrailVid Turns Your Trip Into a Map Film

Start with the places a viewer needs to recognize. Put them in travel order and choose how you moved between each pair. Dates and local times can move the globe from day into night. A caption gives an arrival the detail its place name cannot, such as an overnight crossing or the first morning on the coast.

The Direction control lets you choose how the camera moves through the trip. Journey follows your progress along the route; Travelogue gives more attention to the places you visit. Choose Custom to set the camera style, pace, time at each stop, and ending yourself.

You decide which places matter, what the titles say, and which memories deserve a caption. TrailVid uses those choices to plan the camera movement and timing.

From the opening title to the final overview

A clip is a named part of the trip with a first and last stop. Keep the complete route for a holiday film, then add chapters and highlights without rebuilding the journey. Continuing chapters can retain earlier route legs, while self-contained clips introduce and finish their own geography.

A theme changes the typography, cards, route look, and atmosphere while the places and their order stay intact. The frames below hold the same London arrival, making the creative differences easy to inspect.
