Documentary-style map animations with Claude Code and Remotion
Opus 5.5 turns a route and cities into editable React map animations with camera flyovers, spinning globes and several map engines.
Opus 5.5 just f*cking killed the map animation grind... Claude Code + Remotion maps = your own documentary-style map studio give it a route, a few cities, and the shot you want it builds the map as editable React code 01 pick the shot the skill picks one of 5 techniques per shot: static map, MapLibre, Mapbox, MapTiler or CesiumJS 02 draw the geography great-circle arcs, spinning globes, rivers that trace themselves, dashed borders, city labels popping in 03 fly the camera terrain flyovers with a look-ahead camera, smoothed flight paths, altitude easing down as you fly the clever part: the whole trip lives in one GeoJSON swap Lisbon for Tokyo, add a stop, change the line color → render again the honest part: MapLibre runs with no API key Mapbox needs a token, CesiumJS city flyovers need a Google Map Tiles key the repo: ▸ http://github.com/remotion-dev/skills start a project: npx create-video@latest add the official Remotion skills: npx skills add remotion-dev/skills then just ask: /remotion-maps animate a route from Lisbon to New York and make the camera follow it the loop: route → shot → technique → animate → still check → render save this, then read the full guide for Opus 5.5 Motion Engineering ↓
