Split Flap Board After Effects Script

Create the unmistakable look of vintage airport departure boards with a split flap text animation tool for Adobe After Effects.

Turn ordinary text into mechanical flip-board typography designed for titles, countdowns, travel visuals, broadcast graphics, social media videos, promotional content, and cinematic motion design.

Instead of rebuilding a mechanical animation every time your wording changes, this tool gives you an editable workflow inside After Effects so you can update your text while maintaining the distinctive split-flap animation style.

Give Your Typography a Mechanical Retro Look

Standard text animation can be effective, but sometimes a project needs a stronger visual identity.

The familiar movement of mechanical departure boards immediately brings associations with airports, train stations, travel, retro technology, information displays, and classic mechanical typography.

This tool is designed to help you bring that visual language into modern motion graphics without relying on a static text treatment.

Built for Editable Motion Graphics

The animation remains editable inside After Effects, allowing you to change your wording as your project develops.

That makes the tool useful when you're working on:

• Title sequences
• Retro-inspired intros
• Countdown timers
• Information displays
• Travel-themed graphics
• Broadcast graphics
• Social media videos
• Promotional videos
• Event visuals
• Cinematic typography
• Creative storytelling

Change the text and adapt the display to your project instead of rebuilding the visual from scratch.
