Great tool. I don't need anything fancy and this just do the job. I would appreciate a bit more controls over the video/gif settings, since the default compression is too heavy.
Thanks for this amazing utility, I have a question, can it only export at 24 FPS? When I have the timeline set to 30 FPS, it still exports the MP4 at 24 FPS. Any option to change it?
Hey, just wanted to let you know that I updated the tool to take the timeline FPS into account when putting together the MP4 and GIFs. The new update is on the same Gumroad product.
hi Danny just downloaded your .HDA except I cant seem to get it to render a .mp4 only .jpeg I have ffmpeg codec installed im on Mac, is it windows only? if not is there any way to get a OSX version? keep up the good work!
Hi Luke! Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately I don't have access to a Mac to test the tool. I would guess it has to do with the ffmpeg path in the ffmpeg node
@@DannyLrsn no problem man great tool! ok I managed to track it odnw through the node graph and get it to render out jpegs into the flip book my next 2 questions are is it possible to change the resolution or to get higher quality flip book out put ? and also my nose won't show up in solaris network only .obj any ideas why ?
@@3lukemoore Awesome that you got it working! I don't see why it wouldn't show up in Solaris if you have the LOP HDA in your otls folder. In terms of resolution, at the moment it is dependent on the resolution of your viewport. I might rework it in the future so it opens a new viewport with a custom resolution.
@@3lukemoore When you get the project on gumroad, there are two HDAs. One object_DL.dl_flipbook.1.5 and one lop_DL.dl_flipbook.1.3. The lop one is for LOPs. However, I no longer have access to the FX license so the LOPs HDA is limited commercial license.
Hey, I'm not 100% sure, but it could be that you need to configure ffmpeg. This video shows how to do it: ua-cam.com/video/PLbijyGIAEo/v-deo.htmlsi=CY64f3pz3Rp5KqEe Could you let me know if that fixes it? Thank you!
I'm not 100% sure at the moment, but you could try. I have updated it to work on 20 on my end, but I need to add some requested features before uploading the next version
The tool does that automatically - it exports an MP4 or GIF to the directory specified in the "Output Directory" channel. If you disable "Delete JPEGs", it will also export a .jpg sequence to that directory.
❤❤❤❤Love your tutorial！
Thank you!

The tool looks really cool, but unfortunately I can't use it on Houdini 20.5.278. When I click on flipbook nothing happens :/
This is great, would love a little more control over file name, even if it just was the project name + camera name. Thank you
That's a good call! I'll put that in the next version. Thanks, Jason.
Hey Jason, I have updated the versions on Gumroad. You have control over the filename now. Thanks for your feedback!
legend@@DannyLrsn thank you

That's interesting - thanks for letting me know! I'll give it a look and hopefully update it for the next version.

Having an issue.
getting an error when trying to create mp4. Do i need to install anything to create mp4's in houdini?

will this work with 20?
