How to create an animation with Folium?

Question

I am using Folium to create maps in Python.

I have a Pandas DataFrame where entries (latitude and longitude) are indexed by time. I would like to plot those entries one hour at a time (from 00:00 to 01:00 ...... from 23:00 to 00:00) in order to see the evolution of the of the locations on the map.

Is there a way to create an animation or video for such a purpose in Folium.

You can use the TimestampedGeoJson plugin for this. See an example here:

This works great...Is there a way to get the resulting movie saved as a mpeg or something similar that can be shared via email or similar? – J Webster Aug 09 '21 at 16:47
I'm thinking your best bet is to use something to record your screen. Loads of options for that. Then share a video of you operating the map. – Conengmo Aug 10 '21 at 09:43
Ok, yeah, I was leaning in that direction but was hoping there might be a built in way – J Webster Aug 10 '21 at 22:09
@Conengmo the link no longer works. – Raleigh L. Feb 19 '22 at 23:12
thanks for letting me know! Updated the link. – Conengmo Feb 23 '22 at 09:50
