Solution

Replay Intro on Every Play

• Logo intro animation and fitBounds now trigger on every play click (resume, restart), matching the initial replay entrance experience

• `ReplayIntroOverlay` refactored to a controlled component with `visible` / `onExitComplete` props for flexible triggering

Example

• `TrajectoryController` re-fits map bounds on every playing transition for consistent zoom behavior

Floating Photo Card

• New floating photo card with dashed connector line during replay, anchored to the active waypoint

• Responsive offset positioning for mobile and desktop viewports

• Photo card constants extracted to `waypointStyle.ts` for centralized configuration

Refactor

• `LazyImage` component gains `objectFit` prop for flexible image fitting modes

• `ReplayControls` play button unified under `onPlayClick` callback for all non-playing states

• Video recorder intro drawing updated with improved canvas rendering logic

Decision Criteria at Bottom Funnel

Bottom-funnel readers are evaluating confidence, switching cost, and output predictability. Generic feature lists are rarely enough.

Content should prioritize decision dimensions: onboarding time, migration friction, and quality consistency.

For "locusify update", define clear evaluation criteria so readers can choose quickly based on their workflow reality.

Comparison Method That Builds Trust

Use one real dataset across tools and compare three metrics: completion time, correction workload, and final publish quality.

A practical baseline flow remains: Replay Intro on Every Play • Logo intro animation and fitBounds now trigger on every play click (resume, restart), matching the initial replay entrance experience • `ReplayIntroOverlay` refactored to a controlled component with `visible` / `onExitComplete` props for flexible triggering. Keep claims tied to observable process outcomes.

Write conclusions as fit-by-scenario, not absolute winner claims. This increases credibility and conversion quality.

Bottom-Funnel Conversion Actions

End with explicit actions: test run, import real assets, export first version. Concrete actions move decisions forward.

Include risk notes and fallback paths. Balanced framing often converts better than aggressive claims.

Interlink to tutorial and case-study pages to complete the comparison -> trial -> validation loop.

Frequently asked questions

What is the fastest way to start with locusify update?

Use one recent trip folder and run the full flow once: import, timeline check, outlier cleanup, and short replay export.

What if some photos do not contain GPS metadata?

Build the core route from geotagged photos first, then place non-geotagged images as chapter visuals instead of route points.

How do I make outputs more shareable on social channels?

Keep runtime concise, start with route overview, highlight key stops, and export directly in the target aspect ratio.

Where does Locusify fit in this workflow?
