Maps can be added to a Remotion video with Mapbox.
The [Mapbox documentation](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/) has the API reference.
## Prerequisites
Mapbox and `@turf/turf` need to be installed.
Search the project for lockfiles and run the correct command depending on the package manager:
If `package-lock.json` is found, use the following command:
```bash
npm i mapbox-gl @turf/turf @types/mapbox-gl
```
If `bun.lock` is found, use the following command:
```bash
bun i mapbox-gl @turf/turf @types/mapbox-gl
```
If `yarn.lock` is found, use the following command:
```bash
yarn add mapbox-gl @turf/turf @types/mapbox-gl
```
If `pnpm-lock.yaml` is found, use the following command:
```bash
pnpm i mapbox-gl @turf/turf @types/mapbox-gl
```
The user needs to create a free Mapbox account and create an access token by visiting https://console.mapbox.com/account/access-tokens/.
The mapbox token needs to be added to the `.env` file:
```txt title=".env"
REMOTION_MAPBOX_TOKEN==pk.your-mapbox-access-token
```
## Adding a map
Here is a basic example of a map in Remotion.
```tsx
import { useEffect, useMemo, useRef, useState } from "react";
import { AbsoluteFill, useDelayRender, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
import mapboxgl, { Map } from "mapbox-gl";
export const lineCoordinates = [
[6.56158447265625, 46.059891147620725],
[6.5691375732421875, 46.05679376154153],
[6.5842437744140625, 46.05059898938315],
[6.594886779785156, 46.04702502069337],
[6.601066589355469, 46.0460718554722],
[6.6089630126953125, 46.0365370783104],
[6.6185760498046875, 46.018420689207964],
];
mapboxgl.accessToken = process.env.REMOTION_MAPBOX_TOKEN as string;
export const MyComposition = () => {
const ref = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
const { delayRender, continueRender } = useDelayRender();
const { width, height } = useVideoConfig();
const [handle] = useState(() => delayRender("Loading map..."));
const [map, setMap] = useState<Map | null>(null);
useEffect(() => {
const _map = new Map({
container: ref.current!,
zoom: 11.53,
center: [6.5615, 46.0598],
pitch: 65,
bearing: 0,
style: "mapbox://styles/mapbox/standard",
interactive: false,
fadeDuration: 0,
});
_map.on("style.load", () => {
// Hide all features from the Mapbox Standard style
const hideFeatures = [
"showRoadsAndTransit",
"showRoads",
"showTransit",
"showPedestrianRoads",
"showRoadLabels",
"showTransitLabels",
"showPlaceLabels",
"showPointOfInterestLabels",
"showPointsOfInterest",
"showAdminBoundaries",
"showLandmarkIcons",
"showLandmarkIconLabels",
"show3dObjects",
"show3dBuildings",
"show3dTrees",
"show3dLandmarks",
"show3dFacades",
];
for (const feature of hideFeatures) {
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", feature, false);
}
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", "colorTrunks", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)");
_map.addSource("trace", {
type: "geojson",
data: {
type: "Feature",
properties: {},
geometry: {
type: "LineString",
coordinates: lineCoordinates,
},
},
});
_map.addLayer({
type: "line",
source: "trace",
id: "line",
paint: {
"line-color": "black",
"line-width": 5,
},
layout: {
"line-cap": "round",
"line-join": "round",
},
});
});
_map.on("load", () => {
continueRender(handle);
setMap(_map);
});
}, [handle, lineCoordinates]);
const style: React.CSSProperties = useMemo(
() => ({ width, height, position: "absolute" }),
[width, height],
);
return <AbsoluteFill ref={ref} style={style} />;
};
```
The following is important in Remotion:
- Animations must be driven by `useCurrentFrame()` and animations that Mapbox brings itself should be disabled. For example, the `fadeDuration` prop should be set to `0`, `interactive` should be set to `false`, etc.
- Loading the map should be delayed using `useDelayRender()` and the map should be set to `null` until it is loaded.
- The element containing the ref MUST have an explicit width and height and `position: "absolute"`.
- Do not add a `_map.remove();` cleanup function.
## Drawing lines
Unless I request it, do not add a glow effect to the lines.
Unless I request it, do not add additional points to the lines.
## Map style
By default, use the `mapbox://styles/mapbox/standard` style.
Hide the labels from the base map style.
Unless I request otherwise, remove all features from the Mapbox Standard style.
```tsx
// Hide all features from the Mapbox Standard style
const hideFeatures = [
"showRoadsAndTransit",
"showRoads",
"showTransit",
"showPedestrianRoads",
"showRoadLabels",
"showTransitLabels",
"showPlaceLabels",
"showPointOfInterestLabels",
"showPointsOfInterest",
"showAdminBoundaries",
"showLandmarkIcons",
"showLandmarkIconLabels",
"show3dObjects",
"show3dBuildings",
"show3dTrees",
"show3dLandmarks",
"show3dFacades",
];
for (const feature of hideFeatures) {
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", feature, false);
}
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", "colorMotorways", "transparent");
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", "colorRoads", "transparent");
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", "colorTrunks", "transparent");
```
## Animating the camera
You can animate the camera along the line by adding a `useEffect` hook that updates the camera position based on the current frame.
Unless I ask for it, do not jump between camera angles.
```tsx
import * as turf from "@turf/turf";
import { interpolate } from "remotion";
import { Easing } from "remotion";
import { useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig, useDelayRender } from "remotion";
const animationDuration = 20;
const cameraAltitude = 4000;
```
```tsx
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
const { delayRender, continueRender } = useDelayRender();
useEffect(() => {
if (!map) {
return;
}
const handle = delayRender("Moving point...");
const routeDistance = turf.length(turf.lineString(lineCoordinates));
const progress = interpolate(
frame / fps,
[0.00001, animationDuration],
[0, 1],
{
easing: Easing.inOut(Easing.sin),
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
},
);
const camera = map.getFreeCameraOptions();
const alongRoute = turf.along(
turf.lineString(lineCoordinates),
routeDistance * progress,
).geometry.coordinates;
camera.lookAtPoint({
lng: alongRoute[0],
lat: alongRoute[1],
});
map.setFreeCameraOptions(camera);
map.once("idle", () => continueRender(handle));
}, [lineCoordinates, fps, frame, handle, map]);
```
Notes:
IMPORTANT: Keep the camera by default so north is up.
IMPORTANT: For multi-step animations, set all properties at all stages (zoom, position, line progress) to prevent jumps. Override initial values.
- The progress is clamped to a minimum value to avoid the line being empty, which can lead to turf errors
- See [Timing](./timing.md) for more options for timing.
- Consider the dimensions of the composition and make the lines thick enough and the label font size large enough to be legible for when the composition is scaled down.
## Animating lines
### Straight lines (linear interpolation)
To animate a line that appears straight on the map, use linear interpolation between coordinates. Do NOT use turf's `lineSliceAlong` or `along` functions, as they use geodesic (great circle) calculations which appear curved on a Mercator projection.
```tsx
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { durationInFrames } = useVideoConfig();
useEffect(() => {
if (!map) return;
const animationHandle = delayRender("Animating line...");
const progress = interpolate(frame, [0, durationInFrames - 1], [0, 1], {
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
easing: Easing.inOut(Easing.cubic),
});
// Linear interpolation for a straight line on the map
const start = lineCoordinates[0];
const end = lineCoordinates[1];
const currentLng = start[0] + (end[0] - start[0]) * progress;
const currentLat = start[1] + (end[1] - start[1]) * progress;
const lineData: GeoJSON.Feature<GeoJSON.LineString> = {
type: "Feature",
properties: {},
geometry: {
type: "LineString",
coordinates: [start, [currentLng, currentLat]],
},
};
const source = map.getSource("trace") as mapboxgl.GeoJSONSource;
if (source) {
source.setData(lineData);
}
map.once("idle", () => continueRender(animationHandle));
}, [frame, map, durationInFrames]);
```
### Curved lines (geodesic/great circle)
To animate a line that follows the geodesic (great circle) path between two points, use turf's `lineSliceAlong`. This is useful for showing flight paths or the actual shortest distance on Earth.
```tsx
import * as turf from "@turf/turf";
const routeLine = turf.lineString(lineCoordinates);
const routeDistance = turf.length(routeLine);
const currentDistance = Math.max(0.001, routeDistance * progress);
const slicedLine = turf.lineSliceAlong(routeLine, 0, currentDistance);
const source = map.getSource("route") as mapboxgl.GeoJSONSource;
if (source) {
source.setData(slicedLine);
}
```
## Markers
Add labels, and markers where appropriate.
```tsx
_map.addSource("markers", {
type: "geojson",
data: {
type: "FeatureCollection",
features: [
{
type: "Feature",
properties: { name: "Point 1" },
geometry: { type: "Point", coordinates: [-118.2437, 34.0522] },
},
],
},
});
_map.addLayer({
id: "city-markers",
type: "circle",
source: "markers",
paint: {
"circle-radius": 40,
"circle-color": "#FF4444",
"circle-stroke-width": 4,
"circle-stroke-color": "#FFFFFF",
},
});
_map.addLayer({
id: "labels",
type: "symbol",
source: "markers",
layout: {
"text-field": ["get", "name"],
"text-font": ["DIN Pro Bold", "Arial Unicode MS Bold"],
"text-size": 50,
"text-offset": [0, 0.5],
"text-anchor": "top",
},
paint: {
"text-color": "#FFFFFF",
"text-halo-color": "#000000",
"text-halo-width": 2,
},
});
```
Make sure they are big enough. Check the composition dimensions and scale the labels accordingly.
For a composition size of 1920x1080, the label font size should be at least 40px.
IMPORTANT: Keep the `text-offset` small enough so it is close to the marker. Consider the marker circle radius. For a circle radius of 40, this is a good offset:
```tsx
"text-offset": [0, 0.5],
```
## 3D buildings
To enable 3D buildings, use the following code:
```tsx
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", "show3dObjects", true);
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", "show3dLandmarks", true);
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", "show3dBuildings", true);
```
## Rendering
When rendering a map animation, make sure to render with the following flags:
```
npx remotion render --gl=angle --concurrency=1
```
