The viral Netflix-style video trend is taking TikTok by storm — and it looks incredible on The Motion Books.
If you’ve scrolled through your TikTok For You Page recently, you’ve probably seen those cinematic intros that mimic the look and feel of a real Netflix series. The best part? You can easily make your own version and play it on your video book — turning your personal videos into something that feels straight out of a streaming premiere.
We’ve noticed this trend become especially popular among couples — boyfriends and girlfriends creating heartfelt Netflix-style “shows” featuring their favorite memories together. It’s a fun, emotional, and creative way to relive your most special moments and gift something truly one-of-a-kind.
In this post, we’ll walk you through how to create a Netflix-style video using CapCut and how to load it onto The Motion Book for a stunning, movie-like reveal.
Step 1: Create Your Netflix Opener Video in CapCut
Before we dive in, let’s clarify one thing: The Motion Books are simply a medium to play your videos. They don’t include Netflix interfaces or interactive menus — but they make your cinematic intros look absolutely amazing
To get started: 1. Download CapCut from the App Store or Google Play. 2. Open the app and go to the Templates section. 3. Search for “Netflix Template” (or “Netflix Opener”) and sort by Landscape templates (since The Motion Books display videos horizontally). 4. Pick your favorite — however, we find this CapCut Netflix Template to be the most versatile to edit.
Once you’ve selected your template: – Tap on the “T” on the bottom icons to edit the text fields (profile name, episode title, and description). – Add your own photos or videos — CapCut templates often come with 10–30 clips, but you can add more. – Adjust timing and layout until it feels just right, then get ready to export your masterpiece.
Step 2: Export Without the Watermark
When you’re done editing, you’ll have two export options: – Download with watermark, or – Post to TikTok Here’s the secret — choose “Post to TikTok”, but don’t actually post it.
After you hit that option, CapCut automatically saves a clean, watermark-free version to your phone’s camera roll. That’s your perfect, ready-to-use Netflix video.
Step 3: Load Your Video onto a Motion Book
Now it’s time to bring your creation to life. Head to The Motion Books Online Store and pick the video book style that best fits your story — the Memories edition is a fan-favorite for moments like this.
Once you’ve chosen your design and purchased the video book, you have two options: – Upload your video to your order via our upload form — we’ll preload it for you before shipping. – Load it yourself later by connecting The Motion Book to your computer and simply dragging in your video file. The video book will appear as a standard USB storage device, so it really is as easy as simply dragging in your video file.
Step 4: Gift and Enjoy
Now comes the best part — gifting your story.
When your loved one opens The Motion Book and sees that signature “ta-dum” intro followed by your shared memories, it feels like their very own Netflix original. Whether it’s a birthday surprise, anniversary gift, or just a creative way to say I love you, this project is a perfect way to make your memories unforgettable.
Turn your favorite moments into something cinematic. Your love story, your adventures, your laughter — all wrapped in a Netflix-style intro that plays right inside The Motion Books video book. Because some stories deserve more than a scroll… they deserve a premiere.
This guide will help you convert a video that is not fully compatible with The Motion Books to a format that will work with your video book device. This way you can enjoy your videos and relive your memories on The Motion Books.
