> just one or two personal vids and then I'm probably done with this for good.
I think you're underestimating the skill involved in making the flip book.
While you may just have one or two videos to make into flip books, I strongly suspect it will take you at least 4 or 5 attempts on the 1st one to get something that isn't a pile of crap that doesn't perform as a flip book very well, and/or falls apart almost immediately.
In the long run unless you really want to go through the process of refining the process for the enjoyment of that, it would be cheaper in both time and material costs to buy from the OP.
I made a book before, out of the PDF scans of an instruction manual for some old piece of gear. It was a piece of cake. I went for a pocket format, so I printed four pages per sheet, on each size. For the spine, I used a generous bead of PVA glue, and gave the thing a cover made of boxboard.
There are other binding methods that would work okay for a flipbook, like putting rings or coils through perforations and whatnot.
