Flip Video Camcorder - Super Simple
This flip video is so simple to use folks are leaving their fancy camcorders at home and taking this one in their pockets instead. It even comes with a bicycle attachment so you can record your biking tour vistas.
The flip video went from a no-name to beat Sony's camcorder. It's not just it's simplicity to record (press red button to start, press again to stop), it's the simplicity of uploading to your PC. Confession time, how many of us have shoe boxes of video cassettes or mini-DVs in our closets, because we haven't figured out yet how to upload them to our PC to edit and share it with friends and family? With the flip video, you, errrh, flip the USB cable and plug it into your USB slot on your PC. Just like that. Play the video below to see demo.
Prices of these Flip Videos (now in designer colors) have dropped again at least $20 at Amazon

How do I drag a jpeg not from the flip video just shot, to appear as the video background with my audio?
My jpeg is my branding logo.
Thank you.

Since I downloaded the new version of software for my Flip Ultra, all of the video clips I download are in reverse order, making it impossible for me to conveniently make complete videos editing the clips together.
When I downloaded video clips before and then tried to make a movie, they were all in chronological order.
Now when I try to make a movie, the clips are in reverse order making it almost impossible to move around, especially when you have more than 20 clips, which I often do.
If you stop-and-start and make 10 short videos to stitch together to make one longer movie, it’s almost impossible because the videos are downloaded in the wrong order. So to make a coherent movie, you have to move the first one to the last order, the second video to the second-to-the-last order, and so on. It used to download in the correct order, but since this last “upgrade”, mixes up the videos so they are unusable.

I have the same problem with making the movies in chronological order. It pisses me off that I cant easily make movies. I told the guys at Flip to fix this problem but its taking forever to make this simple software fix!
