That's a really roundabout way to do that though... He's basically taking free height data, converting it to a raster image, and then approximating it in the editor (which tries to convert the raster heightmap back to a proper map). The actual satellite imagery might be harder to (legally) get (and he basically suggests removing the copyright notices in the video).
It's cool that it works, but it's also the "wrong" way to go about it considering all the tools around to work with open, free GIS data.

My plan was to use the NAIP images, which I have sitting here on one of my computers, processed, and is free. But, I ran into some weirdness with Davinci Resolve where it was getting "Media Unavailable" for some frames of the video. Once I went down that rabbit hole, I was just tired of that video and wanted it done. So I didn't add a spinning 3D map of the area, just added some titles and music and called it a day. Agree that it's not cool to remove copyright.
