FlipbookWidget Troubleshooting
Quick checks for the most common plugin, UMG, playback, and appearance issues.
Nothing is displayed
Assign a valid PaperFlipbook, confirm its keyframes reference PaperSprites, give the widget non-zero layout space, and check parent visibility.
Play does nothing
Manual mode intentionally disables automatic playback. Choose Play Once, Loop, or Ping Pong.
The image is cropped
Use Fit to keep the whole frame visible. Fill intentionally fills the available space and can crop one axis.
Color looks unexpected
The active color variation multiplies Color and Opacity. Set Active Color Variation Index to -1 to use only the base color.
Wrong-engine warning
Install the package matching your Unreal Engine version. The plugin descriptor must match the engine package selected on Fab.
