Create a flipbook

A flipbook allows you to create a stop-motion video of your photos. Use this command to animate photos that were taken using the burst mode of your camera. Flipbooks are saved in WMV format and can be optimized for viewing on a computer, a TV, the Web, or in e-mail. You output the flipbook to your My Videos folder, burn it onto CD or VCD, or import it into Adobe Premiere Elements. You can also export the flipbook to a mobile phone.

Images cannot be edited in the Flipbook dialog box, so add any designs or effects to the images before starting the process. Your photos are presented in the flipbook in the same order they appear in the Photo Browser. To present your photos in a different order, arrange an album of your photos in the order you want, and then select the album to make a flipbook.

  1. In the Photo Browser, select the photos you want to include in your flipbook.
  2. Choose Create  > More Options > Flipbook.
  3. Set any of the following options:
    Speed
    Specifies the frames per second (FPS) for your flipbook. Move the slider to the left to slow down how fast images flip, or move it to the right to increase how fast images flip.

    Reverse Order
    Changes the order of the flipbook so that images are shown starting with the last image and moving toward the first image.

    Output Settings
    Specifies the movie file size, which depends on how you plan to view the flipbook. A flipbook viewed on a computer has different output settings than a flipbook viewed on the web. The Details button provides more information about the output setting you select.

    Loop Preview
    Starts playing the flipbook again after the last image is displayed.

  4. Click Output to save the flipbook. Type a filename, and then click Save.

    A WMV file is created and placed in the Photo Browser.
