Google Maps (SOLVED)

[JEB]

Hi,

I have just discovered that Google MapsDirections service offers an animated 3D drive through facility.

Can anybody suggest a method ofcapturing this for potential use in a PTE sequence.

I use a MAC so that would be myfavoured OS. I have Parallels so have access to Windows for preparingmy PTE sequences.

Being a mean Scot I would prefer a free product.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi John I have used standard Google maps in a few of my shows, there is a facility to save what you are looking at as a Jpeg, another way is to take a screen shot paste that onto a blank file in Elements 10. but 3D I haven't used.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your reply.

Perhaps I have not made myself clear. It is the animated fly through that I wish to capture.

Hi John

You could try video screen capture software, I'm trialing Camtasia studio 8 which you can down load free for 30 days, there are a few different freebies around around but this gave the best reproduction IMO.

Eric,

I have just managed to capture a test clip using QuickTime, which is built into MountainLion. This looks like it will serve my purpose.

I would have used this animated fly through in the past but wasn't aware of the fact that it existed, perhaps it is a new feature of Google Maps.

Thanks for your interest.
