I've done a ton of WIP animations on my nexus5 but the screen went out..! So I've taken the sim back to my old nexus4 to use which also has FlipaClip, so what do I need to do to make sure I don't lose my FlipaClip work from my nexus5 (and bring it over to my nexus4)? The phone will be serviced or replaced soon so I don't want to lose everything! I plugged it into my PC and copied the data from com.vblast.flipaclip and tried to copy over project files between phones but that didn't work, I assume there are some metadata etc. I am missing. Please help! Thanks

Recover projects after moving FlipaClip to SD card

A todos aquellos que quieran recuperar los proyectos que no se pueden abrir por haberlo pasado a la SD tienen que haber copiado todo las carpetas en android de com. vblast.flipaclip .

To all those who want to recover the projects that can not be opened because they have passed it to the SD they must have copied all the folders in com android.vblast.flipaclip

My video is missing when I try to make it to the movie. Almost all my drawing is vanished.

When I finish my drawing perfectly, I want to make it the movie. But it's says "your storage is full" or something like that. I don't remember the specific one. Then I deleted some of in my gallery, deleted my WhatsApp chat, then move the flipaclip's folder from the internal storage to the SD card storage. After that, when I want to try make the movie again, all my drawings and pictures is gone. I try to restart my phone because I thought it may be need to refresh. But after restarting, it's still gone. And that project is a home work from my teacher. What can I do to make it come back instead of make a new one from the start?

please answer me, i't an urgent

I moved everything from my internal storage to the Sd card, and the flipaclip says it doesn't open any projects. how to fix please

Please i dont want to lost all my projects 😭

Hey, sorry you phone died :/

So there are two ways you can recover your projects.

1. Somehow trigger share project so that it builds a recoverable project that you can open on another device. Does the touch screen work? Can you see something somehow? If your touch screen works, maybe you can plug your phone to a TV and attempt that way. You will need a special cable to convert micro-usb to hdmi.

2. For this step you need a rooted phone. Copy the entire app content that is private. Mainly the database file. Also, copy the public data which you already copied. The database contains all the metadata to connect the dots with the public data you copied. On the new device you would paste those files in the exact same directories you copied them from.

Sorry there aren't any easier ways to recover... :/ We are already thinking of ways to avoid these issues.

Please try below:

1. Restart your device and see if projects are back.

2. Move FlipaClip back to Internal memory and try to open projects then.

3. Copy com android.vblast.flipaclip from Internal storage to SD card.

Hi,is there no account creation? That would be ideal to start something on a phone, finish it in a tablet, and vice-versa.

Yes, that would be awesome! We are thinking about it and hopefully we can do it soon. Here is an idea about this. Please make sure to up vote it!

I am trying to import the .fc I have placed it in backup folder. It doesn't open in app. Clicking the file brings this message up. I am premium. Android 8.0.0

Ah, seems like you are using the Samsung default file manager app right? Also there are some other default file manager apps that don't properly work with our custom backup file. I would recommend you try downloading another file manager app such as ES File Manager. We tried fixing it but the only fix we came up with caused FlipaClip to become an app that would be suggested to open all file types and that wasn't a good experience...

Thank you very much for those instruction in step two. That definitely makes backing up all of my projects at once much easier!

Hi, I accidentally deinstalled flipaclip and of course all the work is gone :-(. Is there any way to recover those projects

Hey Stefan, unfortunately once the app is uninstalled all projects go with it. We are already planning how to improve this so you never loose a project again.
