Concepts

Map 3D
The fly-through movie is a simulated navigation on the Map 3D following a predefined 3D Movie Path.
All visible 2D and 3D resources are included into the movie recordings as visible on Map 3D.

3D Movie Path
The Movie Path is defined by a list of Waypoints. A Waypoint combines a coordinate and view direction.

Movie file
As of today, Microsoft's *.avi file format is the only supported movie export file.
An *.avi file is limited to 4GB.

File

Save your 3D Movie Path into an Orbit Movie Maker Project (*.omp).
Create a new Movie Maker Project, open, save or close the opened project via the file drop-down menu.
