Hello, you didnt cover how to make the warslides or text I know how to to do both but im curious on how to do warslides, especially in paint because it has no layers and the text im also curious since it always stay in place and to make it do that takes a while for me

At 9:01 I saw southern PNG marked as formerly a British territory. Well, it wasn't really. Before 1901 it was a colony of Queensland, which had full "Responsible Government" (including its own military) before Australian federation in 1901. After that it was Australian until PNG got independence in 1975. While Queensland (and later Australia) were then part of the British Empire, the Brits had no control of places like Canada and Australia after the individual provinces or colonies were granted Responsible Government, which was in 1860 for Queensland.

Does procreate work well for this?
The only upgrade I could see using is the terrain overlay. Mountains and valleys are very important, especially in military movements, so seeing troops move around a mountain makes more sense than "why did they go northeast then south instead of going straight toward the capital?"
I always wondered how you get the very accurate borders using paint, because paint doesn't use layers

You can use the square tool, all white, and select the marker tipe. After 3 squares on top of one another, anything under them will no longer be seen. So put a map, 1 or 2 squares on top, make a black lineart, more 1 or 2 squares on top, and the lineart will be under 2 squares while the map will be under 3. The lineart will still be seen and the map not. Now you can just paint the now gray lineart with black and there you have it.

check your local library for old maps/atlases
your ability to accurately research front lines never ceases to amaze me, even after all these years.
I relate a lot to this - I've always prefered Paint to more advanced programs, and I'm 40 and never moved from paper to tablets - I draw by hand on paper with pencils or pens - and it's often difficult to even admit, because many people will literally take offense, like I'm bragging about art-conservatism or something - but I just could never really adapt to the more advanced programs or equipment I could never afford. I like the processes I've gotten used to - and that's how I prefer to work.
Ayyy, all of my videos were also done with Paint. It's crazy how far you can get without using anything fancy.

ayo when Alternate History of Europe: Battle of the Bulge part 2?
Seeing that folder filled with very *single* frame of a map video, made me realized how much effort you actually put into these videos. Personally, i'd do whatever i can to make my work process convenient & easy at the cost of time (sometimes). But to do something like this is very impressive. I very much respect you dedication to these videos, honest!
I was literally just thinking about this and happened to see this lol. Also keep up the content Tigerstar, your videos are really fun and informative!
This helped a lot with my art skills. Thank you so much
Thanks for informing us of this.
really nice to see the behind the scenes of how u make videos tigerstar. very cool
Thank you for all your work!
This was very useful video bro. Keep it up.
yes, I am very much a visual learner. Simple and informative is what I personally am looking for. I can only imagine how much work it takes just for that small amount of time it is for us. ty man
very specific and detailed
8:34 In VEGAS Pro, I'm able to get around this issue (at least when adding media to the timeline) by temporarily setting "New still image length (seconds)" to the value I think would be most appropriate. Of course, that's really only convenient when you're dragging in your image files all at once, and I haven't yet found a convenient way to adjust the length of all of those events simultaneously after they've already been added.
Thanks for making this Tiger, I hope to make my own mapping videos one day! ^^
The info we needed~
Cool. Since I have also been into this very same stuff my entire life, 🙂it sure is interesting to see such a vid from a fellow Maps and History fan, like myself. In fact, you're inspiring me to start uploading my stuff, too. 🙂
Thanks for info
The thing I love about them is that they genuinely sound thankful when saying they appreciate support on their videos Not a lot of KZreadrs sound genuine doing that Love your videos❤️😁
I had no clue how you managed to create these great maps in MS Paint, and now I know you use a TRACKPAD I am even more impressed! Your process is also incredibly meticulous; all those layers and images!

Thank god you showed what film making program you use. I’ve been stonewalled by my own laziness ever since movie maker got removed
Krita can also be used for animating maps, sure it's quite complicated but it's really good at its job with layers, frames and much more
Thank you for Tutorial
You should do a video where you try to draw countries on paint from memory, given how many times you’ve probably traced them
Bro uploaded the exact video I needed
The background music in this video is magnificent.
I liked the video and I hope you make 1 more explaining more indepth how to draw a more accurate border which i find annoyingly hard. Thank you alot :)
Reminds me of the maps we used to make for NationStates back in the day; what a time!
2023 has really been a blessing :D Mapsinanutshell, eastory and now EmperorTiger!!!
Pretty neat 👍🏼; as someone who posts just for fun it’s pretty interesting to see how real creators do their work.
i love this also ur videos
I love the maps
This is exactly how I make my own personal map videos lmao I thought I was doing it a really strange, basic, and hugely simplistic way.
I REALLY WANT THIS !!
The fact that you use ms paint is amazing
OMG TY FOR TUTORIAL Also I know this is cheesy but Second
FINALLY A TUTORIAL
THANKS
Very repeating drawings process to make a video possible, I respect that.
yes
It''s very interesting comparing another mapmaker's process with mine.
I make all my maps in paint and it's a pain, especially with the small scale I use. I want to ask, how big is the brushyou use in your maps? For borders and such?
Finally, quite nice.
I'm curious what takes longer, making the maps or the research...
In your war videos, how do you know the exact positions and mapping of occupation/control of armies
7:10 still better than most of the Historical video animators on KZread. Extra Credit and Blue from OSP seems they don't have Historical atlases and maps...
I would love to know how you get historical borders so perfect? Like a war or smthing. Thank you
Let's goooo finally
SALAMAT PO
How would you research territorial changes
wow!
I have a problem with Google Maps. When i try to look into a region of a country i have to go the border of that region very close and it shows name like this [Region] ------------- [Region] Instead of just just displayed in the middle but zoomed out
Hello fellow map maker. I make my own maps for my own videos, mostly Europe. but I also make other maps for fun. my map making prosses is a bit different but the same non the less.
Ok, what I love best about Tigerstar is that he uses MS Paint. No fancy Photoshop for him. Hehehe...

Right... I did the same thing by erasing the date and replace it with the next date for the other slide, but turns out the proportions of the text seems to not match with its previous date. And yeah the date is uneditable, since paint doesn't allow people to fix or change the written texts.
How did you add the labels on the side?
Is there a fast way to trace maps with aliased borders?
A LAPTOP TRACKPAD!?!?!?!?!? ARE YOU INSANE!?!?!??!?!
at least you didn't end up like Blue where he bought a whole program just to add hills
Tigerstar, we thank you for this video of Imperial Greatness.
Anyone know how to use QGIS?
New video!
Are you going to cover the tigray war?
Yours, the ones of Knights and Generals and the ones of Sam Aronow, are some of the best historical-political maps I've found on KZread so far. My most sincere compliments for your great work and effort.
