Working with Flipbooks

A flipbook—also known as a cel animation—is a set of sequential images that create the illusion of movement when played out in rapid succession. Supported file types are the same as for images. Flipbook animation sequences may be keyed over a live video input or clip and are typically used to display animated company logos.
