TripRoute

Animate your trip across a 3D globe and export it as video

Updated August 2026 · v1.7.2

One-off purchase, yours to keep on one device. Or unlock the whole menu from $4.99/month.

Demo & screenshots

TripRoute turns a trip you have already taken into the video you wish you had filmed. Type in the places you went, say how you got between them, and watch a camera fly the whole route across a 3D globe - arcs drawn as they are travelled, each stop named as you arrive.

No account, no upload, no editing timeline to learn. Your trip stays on your own computer, and what comes out is an ordinary MP4 you can post anywhere.

Highlights

  1. Built from your stops, not from footage - search for any place in the world, add it, and the route draws itself. Nothing to film, nothing to import.
  2. Every leg travels the way you did - plane, train, car, boat or on foot. Each one gets its own marker moving along the arc, and its own share of the pacing.
  3. A camera that behaves like a shot - it pulls back to take in a long leg, eases in on arrival, and holds at every stop just long enough for the name to land.
  4. Shaped for where it is going - tall for Reels and Stories, square for a feed, wide for anywhere else, plus eight more shapes. Pick one and the preview changes with it.
  5. Three looks, one click apart - Paper, Dusk and Night, each with your own accent colour, place labels on or off, and the road ahead shown or hidden.
  6. You set the pace - seconds per leg, how long to pause at each stop, how smooth the motion is, and whether a long flight earns more screen time than a short hop.
  7. What you see is what gets saved - the preview is the video frame exactly. The export is not a screen recording, so it comes out smooth even if your machine cannot play the preview back smoothly.
  8. Your trips are files you own - save a route wherever you keep things, reopen it months later, adjust one stop and export again. There is no library holding them hostage.

How it works

Start a new route and search for the first place you went. Add the next one, and TripRoute connects them; choose how you travelled that leg. Keep going until the trip is there - a weekend of two stops or a year of twenty.

Then pick the shape and the palette, drag the playhead to watch it back, and press Export. TripRoute renders the whole thing and saves an MP4 wherever you point it. Reopen the route any time to change a stop or the timing and export a fresh version.

Perfect for

  1. Travellers with a camera roll and no video - the opening clip that shows where all those photos were taken.
  2. Anyone posting a trip - a route animation is the part of a travel post people actually watch to the end.
  3. Presentations and talks - show a tour, an expedition or a supply route moving, instead of a map with arrows drawn on it.
  4. Families and reunions - where everyone came from, on one globe, in twenty seconds.
