FlipShare is an app that helps you get videos out of your Flip Video camcorder. The app can also import other videos encoded with the supported format.
Once you have videos on FlipShare, either from your Flip Video camcorder or from other sources, you can start editing them. There aren't any advanced video editing features, but you can do the usual things, like trimming, cropping, and adding music. The Flip camcorders are all about ease of use, and FlipShare seems to follow the same approach. The user interface is very clean and to-the-point. I was expecting it to not even open without a Flip Video camcorder connected to my Mac, but it did, and I was able to import videos as well.
FlipShare has excellent video sharing features, allowing you to upload videos to YouTube or send them in an e-mail.
Pros
- Clip backup option
- Direct editing of camera files
- Sharing and uploading options
Cons
- Sometimes fails to detect a camera drive
Are there any alternatives? I've been trying to get videos onto my Mac(Big Sur) and it won't let me because the app is outdated :,,, (
I found an old Flip Video and am trying to use it. I have downloaded the mac software (5.12) but I can’t install because it says it is not supported any more. Any suggestions on how I can get this thing going?
Michelle, it looks like this version of the Flipshare app is still 32 bit which means it won't run on the most recent version of Mac OS. However, if you go to your user folder>movies>flipshare data>videos, you will find all your movies. Hope this helps.
