Connect a trip's photos to its route — Album Map planning kit
Example and walkthrough: https://albummap.com/examples/travel-map-video

SAMPLE BRIEF
Plan a short story around Toronto, Niagara Falls, and Niagara-on-the-Lake. This is a fictional planning scenario you can replace with your own destinations. The video above demonstrates the product; it does not depict this itinerary.
- Three locations in travel order
- One or two photos or short clips per stop
- One sentence explaining each memory
Aim: A recap that introduces each destination before showing the memory associated with it.

STORYBOARD
1. Opening: Introduce the trip and show where it begins.
   Prompt: Toronto — the start of our weekend away.
2. First memory: Pair the first location with one photo or clip.
   Prompt: Choose the image that best establishes the trip.
3. Next stop: Move to Niagara Falls, then show the moment you want to remember.
   Prompt: What surprised us most at this stop?
4. Final stop: Finish in Niagara-on-the-Lake with a shared memory.
   Prompt: What would we tell someone planning the same trip?

CONTRIBUTOR MESSAGE — replace the placeholders before sharing
Add one favorite photo or a short clip from our trip. Tell us where it happened and what made the moment memorable. Please upload by [date] using [private contribution link].

WALKTHROUGH
1. Choose the stops before the photos
List the locations in the order you want viewers to follow. Use the downloadable worksheet to give each stop a purpose. Three memorable destinations usually make a clearer short recap than every place you passed through.
2. Match a memory to each place
Select a small number of photos or clips for each destination. Add a short note explaining the moment, then assign the correct location. If companions have better footage, invite them through the project's contribution link.
3. Build the map story
Start the guided map builder, add your media and locations, and arrange the sequence. Preview the movement between places. For a route-led animation with detailed camera and timing controls, use the separate 3D Map Animator beta.
4. Watch once as a new viewer
Check that place names are legible, the route makes sense, and photos stay on screen long enough to understand. Remove repeated images, check music levels, and export the version that fits where you will share it.
