Scenes

Scenes are scripted camera moves and layer changes you can play back on any screen, from a laptop to a convention hall.

Kinds of scene

• Cinematic tours: for example nation, then Texas, then Collin, then a single precinct. Used for donor and investor meetings.
• Rallies: fly in on the venue in 3D, with the precincts and vote centres around it.
• Conventions: delegations, districts and chairs, county by county.
• Election night: the map follows the returns from official result feeds.
• Sponsored location cards can appear in a scene, labelled as sponsored. See Sponsored cards.

Playing a scene

1. Open Scenes on the left rail.
2. Choose a scene and a shot, then play. Each shot sets the camera, how long it moves and holds, which layers are on and what happens.
3. Hide both rails ([ and ]) for a clean screen. The required map credits always stay visible.

Making and sharing scenes

• Capture camera saves the current view as a named anchor. Edit details sets each shot's camera, duration, hold and actions.
• Share scene downloads the selected scene as a JSON file. It keeps the camera, timing, layers and attribution. Import previews a file before applying it, and nothing changes until you confirm.
• Export your current project before importing another one, because applying an import replaces it.
