Google Earth Studio supports common animation tools as keyframes, but the interface is quite simple that the company states that knowledge and experience with animating and editing are not necessary. The software contains a number of templates so that users in the simplest case only need to specify a location, after which a video can be made with things like zooming and panning.

Advanced options are the time of day and the field of view of the camera. In addition, Earth contains 3D models of many geographical and architectural content, which can be displayed in the video and also cast shadows based on the time. Also still frames can be made. The software also has attached documentation and supports export to Adobe After Effects.

Google Chrome is currently required. Users of all kinds are free to publish the images that are produced, as long as it is mentioned where they come from.
