Thanks, Darrell. You’re right. I have a post to update. I’ll get to it later today after those pesky real life, non-virtual errands.

And, everyone with a Flip? Darrell’s site FlipInFocus.com will help you figure out the stuff that stumps you.

Hi, Rhonda…

Well, we know you figured out the trimming thing. Don’t give up on HD, though. You can edit in Windows Movie Maker and keep things in 720p HD from start to finish. It can look pretty good on YouTube or even your wide screen TV. There are a couple of tricks to it.

Here’s a demo I made to see how it would look on YouTube:

Take it full screen, so you can see it’s HD. I have also made a DVD of this and played it on my 51″ HD set. Looks pretty good (though it’s not HD, at that point. It would look better if I made a Blu-Ray disc.)

FWIW,

Darrell

Thank you, Bruce, both for stopping by and considering shopping through my link. Your daughter will certainly enjoy the Flip. It’s fun to use.

Great post on this camera. I have an earlier Flip and was considering replacing it with HD. I probably won’t after this review but I am going to buy one for my daughter. Since Amazon canceled all affiliate accounts with people in NC (thanks to our legislature) I will use your link when I do.
