How to download your flipbook as an MP4 video file

Create a short animated preview of your pages to share on social platforms

Overview

You can download a flipbook as an MP4 video: a 10 to 12 second teaser of your pages, rendered at 1920 x 1080 pixels and 30 frames per second. Share it on social media, in emails or on your website to preview the publication and send viewers to the full flipbook.

Here is an example of an MP4 download:

The video gives a glimpse of your content without the viewer opening the flipbook.

Video specifications

  • Frame rate: 30 FPS.
  • Length: a teaser trailer of 10 to 12 seconds, as the Download window states.

Tip: include the flipbook's link when you share the video. The teaser may not show every page, and the link lets viewers open the full publication.

Troubleshooting

  • Autoplay videos or GIFs look wrong in the MP4: the MP4 does not render them properly. Remove them from the flipbook before you download.
  • The Download option is missing: the flipbook has to be published. Publish your flipbook, then try again.
