Re: Flip Cameras on PC Network

I've successfully used iMovie on a mac or Adobe Premiere Elements 7 or
higher on a PC for the .mp4's. They newer flips are HD, and use the .mp4
format so the earlier Premier don't support it. Also make sure you've
got plenty of memory.

Subject: Flip Cameras on PC Network

Hi everyone,
We have 5 Flip cameras purchased to allow students and teachers to
create
video easily. However, I'm the only one in the building who can download
the
software and then download the filmclips and create videos. Any other
user
receives an error message that states they don't have the right to
download
the software. These users receive the same error message when trying to
download the pictures when the software is already loaded on the
computer. This suggests a straight forward user rights issue to me. When
I
approached our network administrator, I was told that Flip cameras can't
be
used on *any* network. Can some folks on PC/Active Directory networks
explain how they are using the Flip cameras especially with students? Do
your users have the rights to download this information? Has anyone else
had
problems with the Flips on networks? Is there a way to get the camera
AVI
files to be read by Movie Maker or another software?
Right now, under my login students create a mpg3 movie from the Flip
then
export it to their own files, import it into Movie Maker for further
editing. The fade transition in the flip videos is a bit cumbersome, but
it
works. However, one student used his own Flip minihd and that creates
mpg4,
which don't import to any of our editing software.
Thanks for your help.
