What is Flip My Page?

Flip My Page builds flipping page animations in Blender from a folder of sequentially named images. You control the page width and height, the number of pages to flip, the time each page takes to flip, the start frame and an additional stop to leave a gap between successive pages. Images can be added to the front of each page, or to both sides, and you can supply a separate backside image or folder. Optional settings add page thickness, a Dark Mode and a Burn-out effect.

A Video Flip Book mode extends this by letting you use a video clip for each page instead of plain image files. The video plays on the page while it flips, and you can mix image files and video clips across pages. With the Match Length option enabled, each page flips only after the video playback on that page completes.

The developer offers a free version by email so you can check the basic functionalities before purchasing, though it carries some limitations, including a cap on the number of pages. A video tutorial covers the functions and options.

Frequently asked questions

How many pages can Flip My Page create?

Flip My Page limits the number of pages to 10 in the free version and offers unlimited pages in the full version. You set the total using the Number Of Pages field, and the add-on expects enough sequentially named pictures in your folder to cover the count you enter, including both sides where applicable. The Time To Flip field sets how many frames each page takes, so total animation length depends on the frame count multiplied by the number of pages.

What image and video formats does Flip My Page use?

Flip My Page reads pictures from a folder that must be named sequentially like 1, 2, 3, 4 with either a jpg or png extension. For Video Flip Book mode, it uses a folder of mp4 clips named the same sequential way; clips in other codecs must first be converted to mp4. You can also mix images for some pages and video clips for others. Correct numbering order matters, otherwise the add-on cannot locate the files it needs.

How does the Video Flip Book mode work in Flip My Page?

Flip My Page's Video Flip Book mode lets you use a video clip for each page instead of plain image files, and the video plays on the page while it flips. You can use a mix of image files and video clips across different pages. Enabling the Match Length option makes each page flip only after the video playback on that page completes, so pages wait for their clips to finish before turning.

Is Flip My Page free, and how do I try it?

Flip My Page is listed as free here. The developer also offers a free version by email at 5minblender@gmail.com so you can check the basic functionalities before purchasing, though that free version comes with some limitations, including the 10-page cap.
