  • You must have the Adobe After Effects software to use this template. Compatible with versions CS5 and all later versions (including Creative Cloud). No plug-ins required.
  • Render times are significant because of the many high-resolution 3D layers. This template is best suited for animations that are a couple minutes or less. For a one to two-minute duration, your video will likely need to render overnight. Template users should visit the Custom 3D Book Tips page to learn important tips that will greatly speed up previews and renders.
  • Although I have done my best to make this template and the tutorial suitable for beginners, some basic knowledge of After Effects (keyframing, in particular) is recommended before using this template. If you are unsure about your ability to edit this template, watch the video tutorial before you decide.
  • While you can add unlimited pages theoretically, the maximum recommended number of pages is about 40 (20 sheets). This is because the book will need to be very thick to support more pages, so it may look unnatural. More pages also affect the speed of the template, and too many pages can cause unexpected glitches.
  • Not sure which 3D book to purchase? You can get them all for just $20 more by choosing the bundle option at the top of the page. The bundle will give you access to more 3D scenes to put your book in, more artwork and images, more pre-designed pages that you can easily customize, and a square book format as well as the letter-size format. When you purchase the bundle, you will receive three unique links for downloading each template. Start with the project file that is closest to what you are creating. To access the features of the other project files, go to File, then Import, the File..., and choose the other .aep files to import them into your current project.
  • The Custom 3D Book templates are 'universalized', so the templates will work in After Effects running in any language.
  • Comps are HD, 1920x1080. Any resolution will work (by changing all comp and pre-comp sizes), but a 4k animation would add significant time to the render time.
  • The music in the preview videos is not included. The composer has taken the song off the market so it is no longer for sale.
  • All images and design elements shown in the preview video are included in the template.

Hello guys, this After Effects tutorial is about how to Create simple page flip or page fold animation in After Effects without the use of any third party pl.

Activating tools (keyboard shortcuts) Note: You can activate some tools only under certain circumstances. For example, you can activate a camera tool only when the active composition contains a camera layer.To momentarily activate a tool with a single-letter keyboard shortcut, hold down the key; release the key to return to the previously active tool.

Some notes about book functionality and limitations (this may apply if you plan on moving the book around or want to create new, complex animations):

You can turn the book's cover and each page separately using individual slider controls. The back cover can NOT be turned independently of the other pages. For example, you can animate the book to close from the front at the end of your animation, so that it ends on the front cover and title. You can not animate the book to close from the back, so that it ends on the back cover.

You can move and rotate the entire book in 3D space while it is closed, but not while pages are open - or the pages will become distorted. However, you can move the camera around to view the book from any angle while it is open or closed, and it will maintain the correct perspective. You can also avoid the page distortion by turning off the 'page-bend' effect, making the pages rigid. This will allow you to rotate the 3D book while it is open (without moving the camera).

The Custom 3D Book templates are not plugins. They are Adobe After Effects project files, commonly known as 'templates' because the work is already done and the user needs only to insert their footage and make their own adjustments. These templates are compatible with version CS5 as well as all later versions of After Effects.

How To Page Turn In After Effects


  • Compatible with Adobe After Effects, versions CS5 and all later versions. Works with both PC and Mac. No plugins required. Last Update: 01/29/2021
  • This template was updated in 2018 to include 4k comps, improved functionality, and a cleaner interface, so some elements will look slightly different from the video tutorial.
  • Page turns are continuous and automatic, and behave according to your page-turn customization settings. You can animate the page-turning to start and stop using keyframes. You can also animate the speed/rate of the page-turns over time, although it may require some trial and error, since the frame rate of the footage on the pages may not sync perfectly with the rate of the turning pages. Some time-remapping on your footage to temporarily 'pause' it, may be required to resolve this issue.
  • This effect will work with video footage and still images. However, still images will need to be edited into a sequence. The written instructions in the template explain how to do this quickly.
  • This template will work with After Effects running in any language.
  • Music and footage placeholders in preview video are not included.
  • File Size: 115MB.
