Prompt example
> Start from Southeast Asia. Add labels on the capital cities in the region. Pan to Thailand and trace its borders. Fly to Angkor Wat while rotating and tilting. Zoom out to level 4.5. Fly to the Philippines and fill with flag. Fill the Sulu Sea and add a diving mask icon over it.Use AI or templates to draft, then finish in Preview & Editor with full step-by-step control. Credits are charged only when you render the final video.
Preview & Editor advantage
Build and revise freely in the editor. Credits are used only when you render the final MP4/GIF.
Use the same controls as the full editor: flat map or globe, style switching, aspect ratios, and step-level refinement before export. Credits are used only on final render.
Switch between flat map and 3D globe perspectives
