In this tutorial, I break down the step-by-step process of creating animated political boundary maps using GeoLayers in After Effects on Mac. Whether you’re working on a political campaign, documentary, or news segment, this guide will show you how to:

✅ Extract federal, provincial, or municipal riding coordinates using a JSON file

✅ Import the data into GeoLayers and animate boundaries for a dynamic, engaging effect

✅ Design cinematic-quality map visuals for election videos, storytelling, or business presentations
