Okay, I have played around with the ODS spreadsheet, and manually
updating Blender to create a few different map animations.  This is
actually very cool!  My plan is to move all the ODS calculations into a
Python script, and expose the settings on the 3D Animation screen in
OpenShot.

However, I am not planning on making an easy "Location dropdown" with
lots of pre-defined places.  I think for version 1, a simple Starting
LAT and LONG and ending LAT and LONG should work just fine.  It requires
a bit of work to figure out the coordinates, but simplifies the
programming.

The only outstanding question is related to licensing of the world map
images.  Are we allowed to use these images in a GPLv3 application?

Title:
  Animated 3D Map Needed

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  I must precise that i am not the author of this. It is Gwen Bulleryahen (French) who have create this one and put her in this bug already closed : https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/632173
  And like we are in the last straight line of the next version, i was afraid that this great animation was not included in this one. 
  OpenShot needs an animated 3D map.  This can be accomplished with this new Blender animation / simulation. 
  When you travel you want to see your destination and where you are go out. This archive is including the coordonneescapitales and the animation.
