Does this camera come loaded with editing software for the videos (like the Flip). If not, what do you use to edit the film you shoot?

yes it comes with Samsung intelli-studio software it plugs directly to the USB port

There is a program used for uploading videos and pictures onto your computer that you can install but it doesn't have many editing features. . . . There are some basics on the camera itself like capturing a picture from video and splitting it but these are the only editing features I am aware of. . . Hope it helps! :D

I use Windows Movie Maker exclusively with my camera, and have had NO issues whatsoever with importing the files, or editing of the files using this software. It may not show up in the folder as a "media" file, but if you check all files, then you are able to import the raw video and edit away. Took me maybe 15 minutes to edit my first video with this camera and software.

I don't use the camera software for editing, but here is a good article on how to do it with Windows Media Player or some free software. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2034143/how-to-grab-a-freeze-frame-from-a-video.html

When I owned the camera you had to do to many file conversions to get editing software to open it. It was a headache. It might be easier now I'm not sure. I went from video to audio.

It depends on the software. I found that Adobe Premiere could directly import the Flip MP4 format while Corel's VideoStudio could not. I had to convert it first using QuickMediaConverter, but there are many freeware converters available.

Can you tell me which software you had to download? I just tried to connect Flip Mino with my Macbook Pro with OSx10.5 Intel and all I got was a black screen and audio playback on a QuickTime Player. I called Flip helpline and they told me to download a free software from divx.com. I heard this particular download causes problems with iMovie. I hate the idea of downloading anything from a third party.

So t17, do you have any advice about how to reasonably & inexpensively get digital videos made on a Flip onto DVD's? LUV LUV LUV the convenience of the Flip, but I was suprised that I can't just burn my videos to a DVD.Called Ritz Camera (at Flip's suggestion since they are 'authorized to create DVD's from the Flip'), and was shocked that I would need to give them the Flip for 10 days plus $29 for the first DVD and $15 for each subsequent copy. Yikes!! So to give my family (some of whom are elderly and don't have web access) 7 DVD copies of the cool little 18 minute movie I edited together from our July 4th party, I would have to spend $120! There's got to be a better way. Any suggestions? So t17, do you have any advice about how to reasonably & inexpensively get digital videos made on a Flip onto DVD's?

I use a Mac, transfer video from the camera to iMovie, edit as needed, then save it as a QuickTime movie which I transfer to iDVD & burn. This may sound like a lot of steps, but seldom is what I "tape" exactly what I want to save. By editing, I can make the taped material halfway decent. Much better than using it just as it was taped.

Yes. Check out this review: http://www.amazon.com/Flip-UltraHD-Video-Camera-Generation/product-reviews/B0040702HK

I have owned a Flip Video Camera for about 5 years. It takes wonderful, clear videos. The sound is good also. It fits well on a tri-pod. I have been very pleased with the camera.

The Flip Ultra HD and probably al other Flips work great with a Mac. I have used a simple 2008 MacBook, iMovie and iDVD to make my first tiny film and the results are stunning.

I don't use the software that it comes with, I copy the files to the computer after connecting as an external drive and then edit it using iMovie or Windows Movie, depending on where I download it. It's a gr8 camera for the price and works for all home video scenarios.

Hi,I plug the video and sound feed from the receiver that comes with the camera to a Sony model #VRD-MC5 DVD recorder which burns the feed right to a DVD disc. From there I can go to my computer to edit the video.Sony stopped making these recorders but I found mine on eBay used. What is really nice about this Sony recorder is the small monitor screen it has so you can see what you are recording. Hope this helps and I'd be happy to try to answer any other questions.Regards, Paul

I found a few on google and youtube but nothing solid. I also downloaded the manual from samsung. At this price, it's only double the Flip HD. Then add another $40 or so for a decent 16GB SDHC card. I must admit, the price is very tempting since I'm in the market for a HD camcorder.

I think you can't. But it is still possible to do what you wish. What you do is to use the flip software to select the best frame(s) from your video clip(s) (you have 30 such frames (pics) per second to choose from) and then export that video frame as a singe picture. Not being able to shot from the Slide camera itself is not entirely negative. By using the video source to hand pick the best frames (pics), you can really pin point and extract the right moment in a much better way than trying to catch a difficult moment with a still camera.

I have the exact flip camera, and it works perfectly. The camera has a screw slot in the bottom, which matches the tripod's camera anchoring system.

As to whether Flip video recorders work with mac, have no fear. Everything works fine on my Mac. Even the FlipShare movie editing software works fine (contrary to early test reports) My only gripe is that the newest update to the FlipShare software doesn't work on my legacy PowerPC chip Macintosh. You must have the newer Intel processor Macintosh to use the latest and greatest Flip software.
