Flip Video Software (Part 1)
The Flip video software comes not on a standard CD Rom but instead it is actually programmed into the Flip video camera so there is no complicated installation required.
Essentially what you do is to plug your camera into your computer at which point your computer should sense that there is a camera attached.
The first time you plug your camera in it will automatically download the software necessary including the driver so it can communicate with your computer and the software that will enable you to download your videos onto your computer.
And that's it.
Each time you plug your Flip video in from now on, the Flip video software will start, allowing you to download videos to your computer in just a few clicks and then, if you like, upload them to the Internet in just a few more clicks.
So while the Flip video software is super-simple to use, it really breaks down into two distinct functions: getting video from your camnera to your computer, and getting videos from your computer to the Internet. In this way, I thought I would break up this tutorial into two halves to make comprehension that bit easier.
So let's start off here then with step 1 - using the Flip video software to download videos you've made from your camera to your computer.
