Tips on making great Flipbooks…
• Use a clip that has something/someone moving through the full length or height of the screen (from one side of the screen to the other, for example, either vertically, horizontally, or even better diagonally).
• Try a clip which contains zooming in or zooming out of a scene quickly. For example, start with a close-up of a flower and zoom out to the person holding it!
• Have action that changes at least one thing drastically from start to end. A good rule of thumb is look at the first frame, and the last frame – it should look vastly different, and that will usually make an interesting flipbook.
• Basically, have some action in your video clip for the best results.
• Make sure you choose a clip that works well without any sound! A talking head doesn't make a great Flipbook unless you're really good at reading lips.
What if my video is longer or shorter than 15 seconds?
If your video is longer than 15 seconds, the online flipbook tool will have you choose the 15 second section that you want to make into your flipbook. It's as easy as click and drag!
If your video is a little shorter than 15 seconds, it's not a problem. However, less than 5 seconds doesn't work well from our experience, and is not recommended.
