PDF tutorial sheet (opens in new window)
Overview
Copying files from a FLIP camera onto your PC is straight forward if you know which option to select from the automatic dialogue box. The video at the bottom of the page covers use of the FLIP and uploading to LUTube.
Be aware
- FLIP cameras come with their own software for viewing, editing and saving videos to your PC. It can be a really good way to access your content quickly but it can make life complicated when using with other applications such as Windows Movie Maker.
- You should be familiar with basic Windows file management to complete this tutorial.
- The FLIP video cameras use a specific CODEC to compress the video. If you cannot view your videos on your PC you may need to download and install the codec. http://www.3ivx.com/download/windows.html
