A short quote or result spells itself out on a split-flap board, tiles flipping until they land.

What it does

Built on Text Flipping Board by aceternity, Aceternity License (free components). The write-up and recipes below are varg's.

Dark tiles with a center seam, each walking through letters and settling left to right with mechanical clicks.

When: A memorable short line: a result ("SHIPPED IN 2 DAYS") or a three-word review.

Watch out: Do not use more than ~20 characters; long boards flip forever and nobody reads them.

Timing: 1.2–2 s total, tiles settle 40–60 ms apart; add a soft click SFX per settle.

Also called: departure board, solari board, flip board quote

In HyperFrames

npx hyperframes add split-flap-board

Each cell's drum position is derived from time, so seeking any frame shows the right letter.

In Remotion

const settleAt = i*2 + 20; // frames
const ch = frame>=settleAt ? target[i] : ABC[(frame + i*3) % ABC.length];

In CapCut

Text → Text templates → search "flip"/"board"; or use Animation In "Flip" per letter layer.
