Flip Video for Video Podcasts
Do you need to capture video for your podcast? The Flip Video Ultra pocket video camera is a perfect solution for capturing video on a shoestring budget. There are no cables, no extra pieces, and no manual required; simply start and stop recording in a snap. Then, pop out the USB arm and connect to your computer. The camera comes with software installed that lets you name, edit, mix, and compress your video clips. Watch the short video on Amazon about just how easy this camera is to use.
This is a great solution for those needing to capture short clips in the classroom or on the go. The Flip is small and lightweight, has two double AA batteries, and records up to an hour of video. The software will compress your video files to just the right size for web delivery. I’ll be creating another post in the near future with some tutorials, but for now check out David Pogue’s recent review of The Flip in the NY Times. For an entertaining Pogue-esque spin on the joys and ease of using this nifty little video camera, see the video he created (using the Flip) too!
