Using a Flip Camera- Step 1: • Insert USB into computer • Your computer should automatically register the Flip camera and will install the software that you need. • USB sleep and charge information will automatically pop up.

Step 2: • Flip video will open. • Click on the file you want. • Right click – a list of options will be given. Click “export to …” and then click “export” a second time. • It will ask you where you want to put it. VIDEOS will be highlighted – click OK. • In the bottom left hand corner a line will pop up showing you that it is being exported. Do not disconnect the flip camera while this is happening. • You must export it otherwise it will just open as a photo.

You’re not finished yet though… • Finally I click FILE and SAVE PROJECT AS… Another side folder will open up and I type in the same name that I did for the previous save. • Now, you will be able to play your video without having to insert the Flip camera :0) • NB: RULE OF THUMB - if it saves really quickly, it hasn’t been saved properly.
Using & saving Video • Using a video camera to record and save is just as easy as a flip camera. • You can use the following instructions for using a USB cord to your computer or using the SD memory card.

Step 4: • If I double click the video file, it will automatically open using Windows Media Player. But… if I want to do something with it, I will need to right click and open with Windows Live Movie Maker.
Step 5: • Finally, to save the file/ clip, I do exactly the same as what I did to save a Flip file using Windows Live Movie Maker. • And there you have it :0)
