Routegen

[pepegota]

Routegen is a good replacment for Rotopen. The author says "Route Generator is a free tool to draw routes on a map and generate a movie from it.
This movie can be imported in your video editing software (e.g. Pinnacle Studio), so you can add it to your own movies.
How and if can it be imported into Videostudio? The only way I saw was to use browse to open the file, but it is not intergraded with VS.

I have been using Route Generator for years, ( https://www.routegenerator.net/) it is far superior to RotoPen and using Google maps is a breeze

For simple tasks like drawing routes on a map, I always found paint creator a better, easier to use tool. If you wanted to add specific icons (a car, aeroplane etc) to the moving route, rotopen was a better featured item but very picky to use, and lacked some of the nice elements of paint creator - like thicker tracks, specific track colours etc. Combining paint creator with icons in the overlay track and advanced motion with keyframes sounds complicated, but they are well known easy to use techniques and using them got around the pickier bits of rotopen.

Generate your video file and then import it into VS as you would any other video clip. Of course if desired, you can convert the AVI output into another format using HandBrake.

FWIW you have an entry in the forum on using Route Generator back in 2015 (https://forum.corel.com/viewtopic.php?f ... or#p303592).

The thing I like about Routegen is you do not need 16x9 or 4x3 map sizes which can be a pain. Any size will do.
Plus adding your own vehicles is a snap.
