thanks, hope i can make one for my trip :-) excellent explanation.
❤❤❤❤
Never thought of using keynote for this. Outstanding sir.
Thank you, Glad you found it useful!
Great
Interesting. Can this be done in Windows like on PowerPoint or other software?
Yes it can!
@ruanatfuturevisionroom can you please make a video on how to do this in windows?
This is EXACTLY what I've been hunting for! Thanks for making this, Ruan! I even have the same laptop as I type this and I'm making my animations in keynote!!! I'm literally in tears now 😭😭😭
Very happy to hear this could help you
Thank you so much 🙂
You're welcome 😊
Works only on Apple devices :(
You can do something similar on PowerPoint on Microsoft
Great tutorial. Thanks a bunch ❤
Nice and easy. Thank you.
Legend, thanks for sharing this method mate, I would have gone the After Effects rabbit hole if it wasn't for that video 🐰
No problem 👍 happy to help!
@@ruanatfuturevisionroomI actually went the After Effects way in the end, it wasnt too hard though
Pentool not available in iphone?
Thanks very much for your tutorial!
You are welcome!
Thank you so much, I had my map done within 10 minutes after this video!
Glad I could help!
This is what I am looking for but I think this is only for Apple products. Any other program that can do this for Windows??
Yes, you can do something similar in PowerPoint
Extremely helpful, very relaxed. Sub.
Thanks for the sub!
THANK YOU !!! all very clear and easy
You're welcome!
Very informative and excellent presentation. Very interesting, even for newbies! 😊Thank you, Ruan.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, Does the addition of a teleconverter drop the image sharpness or light range of the camera?
If you add a 2x teleconverter, you end up with a 140-400 lens, at F5.6. Again, fantastic versatility! There isn’t much noticeable difference in image quality or sharpness with the TC but I did notice that the OSS image stabilisation if handholding the lens with a TC was not quite as good, so best to use a tripod in those conditions. But all round, the TC does perfectly fine with this lens.
Wow!!...Ruan this is awesome!!
What were the settings on th lens?
A great tutorial and easty to follow ... thanks 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
You look like you got swamp fever playah
Thanks for this video!
Welcome!
very useful
Have you any thoughts on the A7 IV with bird AF? Would that eb advantage over the resolution/crop abilitys?
Very well explained. Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Game-changer for me, thanks!!! 🤯🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great to hear! Thanks for the positive feedback! I very much enjoyed your Wildlife for beginners course on Udemy that I did few years ago…!
Beautiful photography.
Thanks Sus!
This is so useful. Thank you
You are very welcome!
Thank you. I learned some great tips in this video. So informative and absolutely beautiful photographs!
Thanks for the feedback sus!
Very informative and enjoyed the entire video. Like your clear explanation of different cameras and lenses you use. Really helps us appies. 😂
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, definitely deserves more views. I'm about to start my wildlife photography/videography journey. I bought a Sony Zv-1 yesterday and am going to South Africa in April. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the feedback! Congrats on your purchase. The Zv-1 is a nice little camera to get started on, for both video and photography, as well as vlogging. Try putting it into Manual mode straight away and play around with your exposure settings- aperture, shutter speed and iso. I would recommend leaving it in auto ISO. Have fun with it and enjoy South Africa!
Thanks for sharing what I think is your best video yet! Thoroughly enjoyed seeing a lesser-known park in Sri-Lanka. Enjoyed it being informative with details in sidebar and your narrative. Amazing variety of animals you captured and fascinating shots. captured in only two days, beautifully edited. Look forward to next one soon!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the positive feedback! ❤
I use the exact same camera for wildlife and the cropability is insane I use it quite extensively with my trusty 70-200 gm ii😉
Thanks for the comment. I recently purchased the 70-200 GM -2 and so far absolutely loving it for wildlife. Also a very versatile lens, with fast autofocus, and produced nice sharp images and great bokah.
Great video!
Thanks!
UAE 🇦🇪 we love Sri Lanka
beautiful video
Welcome Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 😘
Thank you, your country is beautiful!
This was a great tutorial, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the video. I do understand that you value the camera because of the ability to crop more. Would you consider taking a6700 instead a7r for extra crop/reach? Why or why not? Thx!
I didn’t know keynote could do this. Is there way to change the arrow head with an icon of a car or a van ?
You say this can also be done in Power Point. I did not see matching features for creating the points in that program. Do you have another video describing the process in Power Point?
You can do animations in power point by using the draw tool to draw the route and then right clilck on your route and select animate styles…and then select replay from the drop down menu. Hope this helps!

Well come Sri Lanka
Thanks!
Woow ❤

Our pleasure! You have a beautiful country!
You are the man. I’ve been trying to figure out an easy way of doing this, I’ve looked at so many different ways and by a country mile this is the best I’ve seen and what a surprise the tools you used. Thank you.
Very welcome! Happy that it helped you
