I'm endeavouring to create a short HD video showing showing the fall and rise of the sea level for our section of the UK coast over the last two millennia. I have the various layers in place in an M9 map and have a slightly clunky way of achieving what I want through rasterising images and exporting them. I am wondering if I am missing a more straightforward way of carrying out the operation, getting the registered images into Premiere and putting them into the other visual parts of the story. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has a work flow that would do the job.

Similar.. I'm wanting to show a sequence of fire "hotspots' in northern Thailand over several years, with 5 days at a time visible in the frame.

Source data is satellite VIIRS (NASA website) with 375m pixels. Data is a shapefile which I will visualize as points. Table columns include Lat, Long, acquisition time/date, and (infra-red) intensity. I will use intensity to scale size of dots and use collouring for time, eg red for current day fading to black for 5 days, on a rolling sequence so the fires literally look like they flare up then die out. I'm hoping to see landscape patterns and pathways of fire travel. 375m pixel is pretty coarse scale but based on static views so far, I think it will still be informative

Full country data file for 5 years is ~4m rows, but I can narrow that down considerably by doing in regions.

I'm thinking I can probably do this in Excel with VBA macros and an x-y chart, but hoping M9 users have done similar with better methods.

Did you manage to achieve your outcome ? How?
