Interesting. Back in 2007 my company Motionbox partnered with flipclips.com to sell themed flipbooks very similar to these. Both companies are defunct now. Demo at a trade show: https://youtu.be/FIiLsyeAM_I?si=BQHt5Q4Q80y3Il5f

There's also lenticular cards: https://gifpop.io/
I only wanted a couple of images. From what I remember of gifpop, they originally did this using a machine that was intended as a wedding entertainment, guests take a moving selfie and it's printed for you, they repurposed it for selling art gifs - seemed like a great idea.
The fallback - IIRC you could buy preglued lenticular sheets in packs of 50 off amazon, and there was a site explaining how to preprocess your images (but it's not hard)...but it was going to take a bit of effort, I don't even own a printer - so I lost interest.
A very long time ago there was a program on the Mac. You drew one picture (macdraw maybe), just lines, then a second picture. You could then watch as pix 1 morphed into pix 2. Anyone know where something like that is. A flip book for that would be great.
That is an animation technique called “tweening”. Using that term you should be able to find some software to do it.
It’s used by Studio Ghibli for making Anime and I know for sure that it supports tweening. And it’s free and open source.
Is this just supplemental income, or are you actually making a living from it? Isn't it a bit of a risk to tout the success of this idea among a tech crowd capable of going off and creating competitors?
Yes, this feels like perfect bait for people thinking they can do it better and stuffing a video into ffmpeg shouldn’t be that hard. It’s actually starting to make me want to try it myself too.

Ideas are a dime a dozen. Guaranteed that others have thought of this. Execution is where you succeed or fail.
I uploaded a vertical video and it was a little unclear to me where the binding would be. I'm assuming it's on the left. It might be helpful to have a ui element to the side of the video container that looked like the binding so it was clear that would be the end product.
