Flip Video

Ok, we tested it in movie maker and we were fine! Our only problem is our old equipment. We need some sort of DVD burner to burn the edited video and then upload it on a separate mixer. No...I don't understand a word of this but that is what the students tell me! I trust them 100%. They know this kind of stuff!!! So...we still really like the Flip Video but we have to keep looking...

Flip Video for PC - #3

Ok, I took my video and put it in their movie mix program. You can choose the videos you want to use, decide what type of video - nostalgia, classic, kaleidoscope, journal, etc. - and if you want to use their music. I chose nostalgia and their music. Here it is...



Wow. I just need to test it in movie maker - which is the program the students use - and pass it to the next person to try. I'm going to work on some other things right now, but look for the movie maker test later!

Flip Video for PC - #2

Ok, I just played around, made a video, practiced editing with their software, and did a cute little video mix. I'm going to see what I can upload now.



Ok, that wasn't so bad. This has all been done without a manual. I think the students would be even faster because these things are so intuitive to them. This thing is pretty awesome.

Testing the Flip Video for PC - #1

Today we received the Flip Video for PC from our Follett Library rep. We will be testing it for a week. Our 7th and 8th grade students create a daily news program and their equipment needs updating! We are trying to find money and inexpensive equipment.

The Flip Video is about 3 1/2 in. tall and 2 1/2 in. wide so it's very portable. It has built-in video mixing software but is compatible with imovie and Movie Maker. It runs on two AA batteries and has a built in hard drive. It also has a USB plug so you don't have to fiddle around trying to find the correct firewire to load the video on the computer. I just did a quick test video and will see how easy it is to transfer it to the computer.
