If you have a Flip camera plugged into your computer, the Camcorder heading is black and displays the number of video clips on the camera.
Next to that heading is a blue Eject symbol; click it to unmount the camera safely. If no Flip camera is plugged into the computer, or you've unmounted a camera but left it plugged in to charge, the Camcorder heading is gray. You can remount the camera easily by disconnecting it from your computer's USB port and then reconnecting it.
When you first jack your Flip camera into your computer, the only thing that appears below the Computer heading is a My Movies folder. As I've hinted, you can edit movies in FlipShare, and when you do, those edited movies appear in this folder. After you import movies from the camera to your computer I'll tell you how very shortly , they appear in folders below the Computer heading.
These folders are dated, reflecting the month in which you shot each clip September , for example. When you first set the date and time on your Flip see Chapter 2 , you set up the camera to date- and time-stamp your movies correctly.
When FlipShare imports movies from a Flip camera, it looks at the date and time stamps; then it files movies by the months in which they were shot creating dated folders in the process, if necessary. Videos are not stuck in these folders forever. After you've imported a clip into FlipShare, and that clip's been filed by date, you can move it to a different folder—one that you've created, the My Movies folder, or even another dated folder. Why you'd want to mix March's clips with January's is beyond me, but to each his own.
Because FlipShare doesn't leave a copy of a moved clip in the original folder, if you want clips to be filed by date as well as placed in another folder, consider selecting the clips, copying them, and then pasting them into that other folder. You're welcome to create folders of your own to make it easier to file and find the movies you make.
If you later regret creating such a folder, just click the Trash icon that appears next to it when you mouse over its name. If you feel like visiting the Flip Video Store to purchase another camera for yourself or for a friend, click the Visit the Flip Store link in the top-left corner of the FlipShare window.
Again, as in iPhoto, the right-central part of the interface is devoted to the play and edit views. You have three viewing options here. No, not when shot , when saved. And yes, I would have sorted these things by when they were shot. To the left of each clip is a thumbnail picture of the video's first frame, with a Play button and timeline below.
Click the right-pointing Play triangle, and the clip plays in that small thumbnail window. To the right of the thumbnail is information about the clip—when it was shot, its length, its file size, and its history which can include such information as when it was copied to the computer, edited in FlipShare, and moved from another folder.
Atop this information is a title field marked Unsaved if you're viewing a clip on the camcorder that hasn't been saved or Untitled if it's a video you've imported but not named. To give the clip a more interesting title, just click Untitled and type a name of your choosing.
If you'd like to make a copy of a clip and save it somewhere on your computer, click the blue Export To link. When you do, an About Exporting Videos window appears, informing you that you now have the option to make an exact copy of the clip and save it somewhere on your computer.
Click the Export button, and a navigation window Windows or sheet Mac appears. Select a location to save your movie, and click Choose to make the copy and save. To forget the whole thing instead, click the Don't Export button in the About Exporting Videos window. You can also choose Delete from the contextual menu that appears when you right-click Windows or Control-click Mac the thumbnail.
Right- or Control-click anything in the window except a thumbnail, and the contextual menu offers Paste, Select All, and Select None commands. You'll find All and None buttons in the Select section at the bottom of this portion of the window. A volume slider appears here, too, allowing you to adjust the volume of a playing clip. The next item in the View menu and the icon next to List in the top-right corner of the FlipShare window is Thumbnail Figure 4.
Thumbnail format gives you the option to see your movies in a larger view click and hold the Thumbnail icon, and you'll find you can view thumbnails in four views ranging from "really pretty big" to "eensy-weensy". You'll also discover a new icon at the end of the timeline: the scissorslike Trim Video button. Click this icon, and the Trim window appears which I'll get to when I discuss editing with FlipShare.
As in List format, you can play your clips by using the Play button and timeline. You can also change the title by clicking the current title and typing a new name. Do I leave autorun enabled on Windows?
Marc: Thanks for the advice to use iPhoto. I was hoping to accomplish my task without having to learn new software. When using another pocket camera which shoots both still and video, iPhoto will import both the photos and the video for viewing.
I used a Flip on OSX for a while, all you need to do is plug it in and it will mount as a flash storage device. Find the folder with the videos and drag it to your home folder or wherever. I just plug it in to a free USB port and the contents of the camera are displayed in the Finder application as an external drive. I then just copy the saved movies to my mac harddrive so that I can edit them with a movie editor I use iMovie. CDs, flash drives, etc. The FlipShare software is on the device though, just open it and install it with a few clicks.
But as others have noted, the camera mounts as a Flash device, and the videos are AVIs. The videos of his daughter are for his memories, not yours, right? The physical USB port placement is awkward, but surmountable. Your cousin chose when the program was first launched to have iPhoto open automatically when a camera was attached.
You can change that preference in the Image Capture application, not in the iPhoto preferences which is slightly counter-intuitive. The Flipshare app should let you do some rough edits, otherwise to use Final Cut Pro, for example, you will have to convert the mp4 format files to e. MPEG Streamclip is a program that might be useful. A USB extender cable might help.
