Abstract
A computer implemented method enables smooth transition of video playback with page flip action within a digital magazine. The method comprises steps of monitoring a user's interactions with a video content item displayed on a current page of the digital magazine. Upon detecting a user flipping the current page to a next page, the video content item is paused, a graphics resource used for rending the video content item is disabled and a current video frame of the video content item is captured. In response to the user flipping the current page to the next page, the graphics resource is enabled for rending the page flip action, a modified current page with portions of the next page are gradually displayed to the user, while the captured video frame is continuously displayed on the current page until the page flip action is finished.
