# The moving announcement video: show the journey, not just the news - **URL**: https://routeflick.com/blog/moving-announcement-video --- [<- All articles](https://routeflick.com/blog) Inspiration - 4 min read **RouteFlick Editorial**Product guide from the team building RouteFlick Published July 19, 2026Updated October 5, 2026 "We're moving!" as a text post gets a like. The same news as a little film -- the camera lifting off from your old street, crossing the country, and settling on your new city -- gets saved, shared and remembered. Here's how to make one. About this guide and its evidence Published by RouteFlick, the maker of the product described here. This is first-party guidance, not an independent review. Route previews are actual exports. An example route illustrates a workflow; it does not prove every feature or a competitor's output. Export speed depends on your device. Creator workflow and comparison documentation reviewed October 5, 2026. Named vendor sources support the documented facts; this is not a purchased-plan test or an export-speed benchmark. Unknown specifications are marked as not verified. Confirm current terms before buying.

Add your current city, then your new one. 2. Pick the mode that tells the story: the moving-truck drive along the real highway, or the one-way flight. 3. Title card: "The Parkers are moving to Denver - Summer 2026". For a drive, choose the camper or car vehicle and the route follows the actual roads -- people will recognise the highways. For a flight, the arc over the globe makes even a short hop feel like a chapter change. ## Make it a story, not a line - Add the places that mattered in between -- the college town, the first apartment city -- and let the route revisit them on the way. - Attach a photo to each: the old front door at the start, the new keys at the end. - A one-line subtitle carries the emotion: "10 years, 3 cities, 1 new adventure". 💡 Announcing a company relocation or a new office? The same video in the Light or Dark map style with your brand colour as the route reads perfectly on LinkedIn. ## Post it everywhere at once Export vertical for stories and Reels, square for the feed, and widescreen for the family group chat's TV cast.
