Then Windows takes a couple of seconds to recognize the camera and automatically install the proper drivers.Ī FLIPVIDEO window appears, offering you a variety of choices, from viewing video with a built-in program to viewing a slideshow of images. The camera makes its little "ba-lip" power-on sound and starts charging. Plug the camera into a free USB 2.0 port. To install FlipShare in Windows XP, follow these steps: If one is available, the FlipShare installer updates automatically, ensuring that you have the most up-to-date version regardless of which computer you've plugged the camera into. Regardless of the kind of computer and operating system on which you install the FlipShare software, if you have an active Internet connection when the software first launches, FlipShare checks Pure Digital's servers for a new version. You can't run the FlipShare software directly from a Flip camera. In this chapter, I look at installing and configuring FlipShare as well as using it to edit videos.
Everything you need is right there on the camera. You don't have to rush home to use your computer, drag a laptop around with you, or purchase or download additional software. This computer can be your friend's, your mom's, or a school computer on which you're allowed to install software. This means that you can shoot video, jack your Flip camera into just about any Windows PC or Macintosh with a USB 2.0 port (the exception is a really old Windows PC or Macintosh whose processor is too poky to handle the HD output of a Flip MinoHD or Flip UltraHD), edit your video, and distribute the stuff you've shot. In Chapter 1, I mention that one of the advantages of the Flip camcorders is that each holds a Windows- and Mac-compatible copy of the FlipShare editing software.
