Hi Thomas. wonderful work. i read that you are working on an upgrade for this project – version 2. can you tell me when it will be on the market?
Thank you! I actually upgraded the project without marking it 2.0 about a month ago. The new features added the Quickflip and Page Design, with a couple other small improvements. I do have a minor update to the book that will be released next week that addresses a glitch people were facing with the French versions of AE.
Any other questions just ask!
I just bought it! It looks great. I am going to use it as a book trailer for my children’s book “The Library Gang”. The trailer for the first book in the series is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pljyxxVphhg It is in Dutch. Thanks for this amazing work
I’ll show you the end result as soon as I finish it.
Awesome, I’m looking forward to seeing the final! If you have any questions in the process or need any help just let me know!
Hello, is it possible to make movements animated to the camera? regards
Hello, as the page turns it is not possible, but once the page is fully open you can cut to the second camera and animate that camera on the page however you wish. Just to be clear though, on the second camera move, which I called “Zoom”, the camera is zoomed in on the page by default, and the rest of the book will not be visible.
So for example, if on page 2 you wanted to animate the camera you could use the second camera set up once the page has flipped open, but if you move the camera too far vertically down it will reveal that the rest of the book isn’t there, only page 2 and your page 2 pop-ups. Basically, as long as you keep the camera tilted so that you can’t see under the page you’ll be good! If this doesn’t make sense message me at kovar.thomas@gmail.com and I’ll try and clear it up more.
Hi Thomas, we love your work, we are trying to make a version of some classic fairy tales using your template. Potentially we will make 4 stories paying a full licence for each. However this hinges on being able to do the following:
Is it possible to add an image or texture to the page? such as grass, stone floor etc.
Is it possible to keyframe the background color? or even add an image to the background?
Regards
Espresso
Thank you, I really appreciate that.
For the texture on the page, I just released an update to the project file that allows you to easily do that.
And yes, you can keyframe the background or add an image to the background. In the current version there is a basic ramp effect on a solid in AE that is controlling the gradient, so you can absolutely keyframe that.
If you want to add custom elements to the foreground and background you can do that as well. All you would have to do is disable the solid layer controlling the background gradient and place your own image/background beneath that comp.
If you need any help setting any of that up please message me at kovar.thomas@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help you out!
Thanks Thomas, I’ve sent you an email. Here is a link to the test comp for our project so you can understand what we are making. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AscQqdGLrIs&feature=youtu.be
No problem, I sent a quick tutorial to your email with answers on how to go about editing the background. If anyone else would like the tutorial please message me!
Great idea! Love it
Thank you!
Wonderful stuff! You did an amazing work mate! 
Thank you, I really appreciate that.
please!!!!!..help me…3D Point Control is missing!!!!!
!!!!
Hello, I apologize for not getting back to you sooner! I’m sorry, but my project file only works for CS5.5, CS6 and CC. If there is anything else I can help you with please message me and I’ll get back to you right away!
Actually, you may have been one of the few who purchased the project file before I had updated the versions to only include CS5.5, CS6 and CC. That is completely my mistake that I didn’t catch the “3D Point Control”error that some people were getting in CS5, and I personally will reimburse you for the purchase. Please message me at kovar.thomas@gmail.com and I’ll get it taken care of for you and also throw in some extras to make this right!
help me on my after effect 5 don’t work!!!!!!
loading the project file, the first message is that the “3d point” effect is missed????
In the assets/render folder I only have these folders: 1,2,3,4,10,11. I have offline pngs and jpgs in the project under Main, Page 5, Page 6, Page 7, Page 8 and Page 9. I am redownloading the file from videohive in the hope that this download contains all of the render folders and files. But I doubt it because its a zip file of the same size.
Ok the only file that is now offline is this pop-up-book-main{0000-0770}.png
Could you please help?
No problem, that is a very strange issue to have the unzipped files missing assets, which leads me to think this may be a different issue than with the project file itself. You mentioned earlier the folders are missing, on a mac when you unzip a file it has to be completely unzipped before you can see the contents, are you using a program that allows you to view files as they are being unzipped? That could explain the issue of the missing files and/or folders. Also, are you seeing the “Main” folder within the Assets folder? Any more details you have would be really helpful.
One more thought, make sure the file is completely done downloading from VideoHive before unzipping, that is another explanation for why you could potentially be missing files.
Hi I downloaded it again and although the file size was the same the unzipped files were complete, the first time there was no tutorial folder either, which leads me to believe it is an issue with winrar. Needless to say it all works fine now and after watching your tutorials and having a little play it’s an amazing project, thanks a lot. We may be back to buy the full license if the project gets the go ahead.
Awesome, I’m really glad to hear you got it working. I’m actually working on version 2 update right now for the file with a few new features, it should be available by the end of the week, so be on the lookout for that!
all of my assets are offline when i try and load the project on a PC using CC. It wont relink
Hello! Sorry you’re having an issue, I’m not exactly sure why your assets didn’t link, but I’ll definitely help you out with some troubleshooting steps. Can you send me a message to my email at kovar.thomas@gmail.com and we’ll get it figured out!
Thanks it could be a problem with the download. I am trying again now
still amazed with pop-up books 
Me too! Hope you like it, there’s a bunch of expansion packs in the works.

Can I use a video file with alpha as a popup, so the animation process could be easier?
Sure, you can put a video in the pop-up comp. If you have any troubles with it or need any help please let me know, ok.
Looks really nice! Well done

Will you be doing a St. Patrick’s Day expansion pack?
Hey NomeeTV, I can’t guarantee anything specific yet, but my goal is to get an expansion pack for every major holiday, as well as give away a bunch of freebies for the project on my personal site. Thanks!
