Flipbook is only available in Sketchbook Pro on Mac and Windows.
From the menu bar, click on File > New Flipbook. A menu will appear for you to select a New Empty Flipbook, or to create one from an existing Image Sequence.
New Empty Flipbook
Create a new, blank animation sequence.
An Animation Size window will open where you can define the settings for the animation
- Set the Frame Size
- Select from a list of preset sizes, or manually enter the pixel dimensions
- The frame size cannot be changed after this is set.
- Set the Frame Rate
- Set the Frame Number
- This is the number of blank frames that appear in the timeline.
- It can also be adjusted later, but a Flipbook cannot exceed 1000 frames
New Flipbook from Image Sequence
This option will open a browser window to allow you to select a sequence of images as your starting point.
- These images could be created from another application, such as Maya, 3DMax, or Blender.
- Images must be PNG, JPG, BMP or PSD images.
- They all must be the same resolution.
- They must be named with sequential numbering.
- The Flipbook will use the size of the images as the Frame size and automatically place them into keyframes as a single layer.
- PSD files with layers will be flattened to a single layer.
Flipbook files
Flipbooks save as .skba files. You can export your files as movies files or sequences of images
