Flip software converts video clips into movies.
Flip Video offers simplified video and movie making with the compact, "shoot and share" Flip camera. Flip Video's line of video cameras (Ultra HD, Mino HD and Slide HD) all include FlipShare, a built-in software compatible with PCs and Mac computers that have the minimum operating system of Windows XP or OS X. With Flip Video's FlipShare program, you have a tool that enables you to convert your individual video clips into movies you can save, upload and share online.
Instructions
Preparation
1. Shoot your video clips. Depending on the Flip camera that you have, you can shoot between one and four hours of video.
2. Connect your Flip camera to your computer using the built-in USB attachment. The FlipShare program will launch automatically.
3. Select the "Create a Movie" option from the "File" menu.
4. Drag the videos clips and pictures that you want for your movie into the "Add and Order content" window that appears. Organize the clips in your preferred order.
5. Click "Magic Movie" at the bottom of the window for the FlipShare program to automatically combine segments of the videos for you. Make sure your videos are no longer than one minute long each. If not, FlipShare will reduce all clips to one-minute intervals before joining them together.
6. Click the "Full Length" option instead of "Movie Magic" if you want to have more personalized options when creating your movie.
7. Click on the appropriate boxes to add titles, credits, and to include a "Flip Video" credit at the very end of your movie. Preview your movie in the "Preview" pane by pressing the play button. Click "next."
8. Select your movie's background music by choosing from FlipShare's selection of background music or the MP3s on your computer. Choose how loud or quiet you want the music in relation to the video sound, or if you want music in place of the video's sound. Click "next."
9. Save your movie file. The title you selected for your movie will automatically appear as the file name. Click the "Create Movie" button at the bottom of the window.
10. Retrieve your movies any time by relaunching the FlipShare program and clicking the "Movies" shortcut. Your movie is in the same folder from which the original videos were selected, unless you specified another folder when saving the file.
