I am an artist and animator and I did not like with a lot of cameras. I have the Ultra Flip because of the lack of cables, I like the idea of the USB stick. These include a series of batteries in the package, so you can immediately start recording (and a small velvet bag cable). It is very easy to use, as promised, click the red button to record (and hold), then flip (ha-ha) the USB device and place it on your computer’s USB slot.
I read a referee by a different model from the cover, saying he needed an additional part to connect the USB, I do not know what to do with, but you do not need a mediator, if you have a current USB port. Of course, it could be that they do not feel comfortable with the camera kind of weighing yourself a bit, if the USB port on a tower. I use a laptop with the mine, on a table, so that the camera can be comfortable in it. Can a USB so you can create a whole, with a desktop computer. I tried the cover on my desk, and I have to make sure the dog does not jump around do you think it is threatened, as a class, but I will mainly with my laptop.
Once your USB port, then go to “My Computer” and a new blue icon (unless you’re using Mac, you’ll see a folder instead), click and it installs the program - seems to work only in the stick, no access to any space on your system, but a small encoder on your system.
(Note: - I try to click on “Explore” before installing the program to see if I could pull the video directly on my desktop by using the program, and if you save, you can not see the videos). You need to through the program, to get to your computer and will be correct.
So after installing the program, click “flipvideo” of his “my team” and then click “Flip Video pc.exe” to the program. It is very easy to see your videos on the left side and a “video store”, here you can select what video (s) you want to select the hard disk, and then click the “Save” button - they call it in your library store, you will be asked to create a library that ends in a folder that contains your video that in documents, such as “My Flip Video Library”.
Once this is done, you can proceed as usual (outside of the program with only one player). In order to be saved as an AVI.
They also have a “video”, where you can share your movies directly to YouTube, AOL, or video-sharing site. Sounds good, but I have not tried. Now you can get a “movie mix” which is basically adding an effect to your video (slowed down in black and white or cartoon fish floating about etc. - no editing). It is very (very) simple, but cute.
They include a small plug that connects your TV to your problem. Use the remote to your “line”, “Input” or “Source” button to find it, click a few times, you will see the first video of her, even if you are right. Then hit play, now it is not clear in the instructions, but you want to play hit you on your Flip (not TV) is the video on television, and it looks good!
You also have the opportunity, “except for e-mail” - if it saves the videos in a folder “Flip videos E-Mail” on the desktop, as attachments. When is the speed the sound (think Mickey and Minnie) while the material is still at normal speed (now do not worry, this is not the case if you videos on your PC as described above). This is probably a compression problem, but we can not fix on the agenda, so I will not, that option again - I have the “Save library” option. It does this for the ecard videos. There is an option to view the video as an ecard with cute little borders around them, the recipient receives a link to the card, but even if the sound is played faster.
Despite this (Cousin worth), I found my video camera is so small and light, there are no cables or connectors, it takes videos, no tracers, no little pixel-spots and the lighting is great. I have an evening, and looks good. These records, which is twice as long as my bulky Handycam and I do not have all the disks to format or plug in a lot of things. The image quality of the Ultra Flip videos is really amazing, my other cameras (Handycam, Creative Labs, on board the Vaio and VIJE) did not have a candle to the Flips quality. I will be for the use of video projects. I am very happy with the Ultra Flip and will be with my family for a visit. I recommend it! Yes, I would be him!
ADDITIONAL New Update (11/15/07): Just an update here after I review this, I flip to the other systems and not the problem. I only had the problem on my own Hypersonic PC laptop, Windows XP. The teams, which no problems were: A Boxxer Desktop with Windows XP Pro and a Sony Vaio laptop with Vista, and just today I have the cover on a Dell desktop running XP Home, which also had no problem.
And, much here, after we ran the cover in the first two teams (Sony and Boxxer) a few times (over the export and email functions), suddenly does the “bad” Hypersonic laptop. Seems to have at work? I do not know why. As I have continued success in the hypersonic.
An engineer from Pure Digital (the makers of the cover) after reading my e-mail from my review, and we had an extensive exchange on trying to figure out why this happened and was very serious solution to the problem. Another thing is that the flap does not create updates, so that these two things in mind I am sure you have or deal with the problems. But, now I have no problem.
Also, someone asked if you can still photographs. This camera is just a video camera that can not be adjusted with pictures, but can pull the images from her films in its program.
