Globe Arcs
A 3D globe animation with six live routes
A wireframe globe turns slowly on a midnight stage while six city-to-city arcs light up one after another, with a route table ticking along beside it and a live-uptime line underneath. Six and a half seconds.

The network shot, as an editable document
Every fintech, logistics and infrastructure deck has this slide, and it is almost always a stock render or an afternoon in a 3D package. Here the globe is real geometry turning in the browser, the arcs are drawn paths that light in sequence, and the route list beside it is text you type — one route per line. Change the lines and the table changes; the arcs keep firing on their own rhythm.
The composition is built for a headline: a kicker at the top, a two-line headline with a lede under it, the globe filling the middle, the route column on the right and a live indicator with a blinking dot at the bottom. Rotation speed runs from 2 to 20, so you can take it from a stately turn to something that reads as busy.
6.4 seconds, three beats
What is on screen, and when. Every element named here is a layer in the document — you can click any of them on the canvas and change it.
Beat 1 · 1.2s
Globe and headline
The dotted backdrop and glow are in, the kicker, the two-line headline and the lede are set, and the wireframe globe is turning with its first route lit.
Beat 2 · 2.6s
Routes light in sequence
Four of the six arcs are lit across the sphere and the route table beside it has ticked down to match, one line per connection.
Beat 3 · 4.8s
All six routes
The route table is fully ticked in beside the globe, several arcs are lit at once and the live indicator is blinking at the bottom — the poster frame.
Three steps to a route globe
- 01
Write the headline
A short two-line headline plus the lede underneath. Both are controls, and line breaks are yours to place.
- 02
Type the routes
One route per line in the routes control — the shipped set is six airport pairs. The table lays itself out from what you write.
- 03
Set the arc colour and speed
One colour drives the arcs and the live dot; rotation speed runs 2–20. Export 16:9 for a deck or a site hero, 9:16 for a feed post.
Real geometry
A globe that turns, not a spinning image
The wireframe sphere is rendered in 3D each frame, so the meridians foreshorten correctly as it rotates and the arcs sit on the surface rather than floating over a picture of one. It stays sharp at any export resolution.
Arcs in sequence
Six routes that light one at a time
Each arc draws and lights on its own beat rather than all of them appearing at once, which is what makes the frame read as a live network. The endpoints pulse as they connect.
A table you type
The route list is text, one per line
No chart config, no data file. Paste six lines into the routes control and the column lays itself out with the right spacing and the mono treatment already applied.
What you can change
Five controls. The kicker, the lede and the live-uptime line are canvas-editable text layers.
- Click any element on the canvas to edit it directly
- Or describe the change in a sentence and let the assistant make it
- Export 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:5 from the same document

Why this beats a stock render
A stock globe clip cannot say which routes are yours, cannot carry your headline and arrives in a colour you did not choose. This one is a document: the routes are lines of text, the arcs take your accent, and the headline is part of the same file. When the network changes you retype six lines instead of commissioning another render.
Globe Arcs: questions, answered
Is the globe animation template free?+
Free to open and edit, with 3 free 720p exports a day with no watermark on the free tier. 1080p is a paid export.
What aspect ratios can I export?+
9:16, 16:9, 1:1 and 4:5. 16:9 suits a deck or a site hero; in vertical the route table moves under the globe rather than being cropped.
Can I change the routes and the colours?+
The routes are one text control with a line per route, the headline is another, and one colour drives the arcs and the live dot. Rotation speed is a slider.
Do I need After Effects?+
No, and you do not need a 3D application. The globe is rendered in the browser canvas and exported as an MP4.
How long is the clip?+
Six and a half seconds — slightly longer than the rest of the gallery, because six arcs need the room to fire in sequence.
