Map Video — Location Intro
Type the address and get a cinematic map video: the camera drops from the sky, the neighborhood draws itself in, and the pin lands on the listing. Edit the stops, markers and style, then export.
Best on a laptop or desktop
This editor puts a map, the stage filmstrip and a settings panel side by side — there is no room for that on a phone. Open this page on a computer and your storyboard will be here waiting. Exporting needs one too: phones cannot encode the video.
Search teleports the map; then pan/zoom to frame the arrival and drag the pin onto the exact property.
Searching MOVES this storyboard to the new address — the stages, their timings, the text and every style stay as you left them. The city stage re-aims at the new city and picks up its border; hand-drawn reveal lines are dropped, since they were traced over the old streets.

Made in your browser
The preview and the free export are rendered on your own device — the video never leaves your computer unless you ask us to render it. Exporting needs a free Pixly account. Addresses you search are sent to a geocoding service to find coordinates and are not stored.
Why a location intro sells the neighborhood
Buyers pick the area before they pick the house. A short map intro shows the street, the school, the park and the beach in seconds — a stronger opening for a listing reel than a photo slideshow, and it works for every property, even before photos exist.
Frequently asked questions
Is the map video maker free?
Yes — the full editor is free, and a 1080p export with no watermark just needs a free Pixly account. Your own browser does the rendering, so keep the tab open while it runs. Paid plans render in 4K on our servers instead: nothing to keep open, and the finished video is saved to your library.
Which formats can I export?
Vertical 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Stories, square 1:1 for feeds, and 16:9 for YouTube and listing pages. One click switches the format; the video re-frames itself.
Can I add my own markers and labels?
Yes — a property pin (with a photo or icon), amenity markers like schools, parks, cafés and transit, street highlights with name chips, an area outline, and a title card with the city name.
Where does the map data come from?
From OpenStreetMap, the community world map. The exported video has no OpenStreetMap mark in the corner.
Do I need to install anything, and which browsers work?
Nothing to install. Editing and preview work anywhere, but exporting needs a desktop Chrome or Edge — Safari and most phones cannot encode the video. If yours cannot, a paid plan renders it on our servers.
