How to achieve this mapping highlight effect?

[kresimirk39695749]

Hi,

I'm getting myself into mapping, but there's some mapping effects that I just can't figure out how to make.

A lot of channels use an effect when moving frontlines on maps to showcase which territory was lost. For instance in the video below, there is an additonal color/layer that temporarily shows when the territory starts shifting, to display which territory is being won/lost. It temporarily highlights the area of activity in a brighter color, and then the normal color takes it over.

That looks really neat, and I have no idea how to make it in my own mapping. I would much appreciate any kind of a tip in that regard. I know how to make everything else generally needed for it, but that specifically I do not know how to.

Thanks!

I just need to have a sort of 3rd additional layer that would show when I move the other 2 colored layers? Leaving gap between em temporarily? hm

That's just a matter of (re-using) the same mattes over and over with delayed timing and possibly additional modifications with masks. not sure what more you would need to know.

Hey Mylenium,

You should know I got 1.3M views on one of the mapping videos, that I pretty much made using your tips. So thanks!

Problem is, I do not know currently what any of that precisely means, never used delayed timing, and not sure what re-using same mattes over and over means. Additional modifications also a blank for me certainly. So I'll start looking into that, thanks again!

Does look like "echo" delay will be the solution to it, with some added color layer below the other ones. Thanks!
