    Hi,
    In Final Cut – How do I create or show a map with a moving redline/aircraft/train to indicate to viewers that one has travelled from – let us just say – LA to NY.

    Thank you. CK

    Well, you would use MOTION for this:

    Or you can get iMovie 09…

    THen export that for use in FCP.

    Nattress filters has a line drawing plugin if you have the map. I haven’t had reason to use it so I can’t comment on how well it works.

    Shane’s suggestion of using Motion is better or getting a graphic artist to do it for you is even better.

    I have to try the Shane’s method. Really simple and fast.
    If you want more fancy traces you can get it with the Motion replicators:

    Thank you Shane, Mike and Rafa for your suggestions, but I only have IMovie ’08 and Final Cut Express.

    Without further due, I went and bought Imovie ’09 and Final Cut Studio yesterday. I haven’t opened them yet, will do this weekend.

    If I replace FC express with FC pro will I lose all my previous media files. Please comment.

    Best – CK
