I bought the Kodak Zi8 Portable Video Camera. One thing that I am having trouble with is editing this on my Windows computer system. I tried Movie Maker Program but that doesnt work. The program that came with the Kodak Zi8 Portable Video Camera is alright. But I was wondering what you use to edit your videos with the Kodak Zi8 Camera. Software are you using and how well is it. Also how much is the software.
@RatedDan secret with the flip camcorders.. you can take a video and take snap shots of the video turning them into pictures.. just takes more effort.
How fast is your processor??? It runs fine with my dual core Intel PC...no lag but for any HD video editing you want a more powerful processing power. Love my Flip...doing the wide angle mod at the moment. Whoever said they can't use the video file with anything other than a moviemaker needs to do a better research; better yet stick with a cheap non-HD camcorder.
thanks and your right about it all... shoot some video with your new gear send me the link and i will add it to my videos and post it as a response to this one... just mention... 'Something New Now' thanks man peace...
Dude I bought the Kodak and it is awesome. Compatible with both my iMac and my Windows PC. All I had to do is plug it on the USB port and boom!...Everything works. Windows 7 can read .MOV files now by default so it works like a charm.
aye want free stuff? have you heard of LOCKERZ? well il tell you anyways,lol, ok its a website where you get free stuff by earning them by watching videos and other stuff. PM me for invite. thnx bro. join it its fun . and also send me your email with it when you Private Message me(pm). okay peace out bro
i see comparison about video and sound quality between an flip and a zi8, and i assure you that the video of the Flip is better. At least in (ALL) the comparison i saw.
Dude, I have Athlonx2 AMD64 dual core and run XP pro. I import video from the Flip Ultra HD into Sony Vegas Pro 9.0 with no problem. No extra programs, NO PROBLEMS!!! I don't know what you are talking about. Maybe it's your Vista OS?
@SomethingNewNow Since its my bday coming up i thought of either choosing the flip or kodak...which do you recommend because the flip caught my eye and I checked test footages of it on youtube and It looked fine but I forgot if it had autofocus, image stabilization etc.
to be completely honest with you i would suggest the Kodak Zi8 it has more features is more user friendly and can be easily upgraded with various items such as an external mic and expanded memory and it is better in every way over the Flip UltraHD camera i had the flip myself and i took it back i have other gear now besides the Kodak Zi8 but the Kodak is a great product and i highly recommend you get that one if you have a choice.. just search for reviews on here of the Zi8
Flip is not compattable with anything!!! OK quality but Can't use the video file with anything but the flip moviemaker and that sucks. What a waste of $150. DON"T BUY A FLIP!!! I hate mine
ya man i agree and i am sorry you didn't find this out before you could of taken it back and got a refund like i did and yes it is a waste of money considering how many other products are out there for the same money or even cheaper and are better made with better options, etc. flip video had it's purpose they made there money back on their investment so i hope they grow and improve there products until then PLEASE don't waste your money world buy a KODAK they are better period...
@smokum0 you dumb fuck, you can use it in sony vegas, movie maker, and i-movie, they are all the ones i know of, and if the faggot in the video actually checked what the system requirements were, he wouldnt have this problem, and im using an AMD athlon X2 6400+ 3.20ghz and i have no problems with it, so he is a double retard
Now although the flip is WAY not as good and doestn have ANY of the features Kodak has, I will speak up for flip, this may be a problem with ur hookup. Mine works with imovie, Final Cut Express, Final Cut Pro, and any other editing program I have tried, what program are u using?
If you look at this vid from the flip u see the quality is 720p, lookin at the Ti8 the quality is 1080p, plus zi8 is cheaper and can take stills. Therefore the Zi8 is better (but i still like my flip xD, but when i get a new one it will b this)
exactly very well said... i will make a update video of all the equipment i have bought to date and the quality which is better then the FlipVideo products flip video had it's hay day but the major makers of this gear have come full circle and improved what they started kind of cool how that works...
well if it works better and has more features at a lower price why is that gay?? and Kodak has been around since the beginning of film and a very trusted brand if you compare the cheap platic feel of the Flip Video UltraHD to the metal and solid feel of the Kodak product i would say the Flip Video is gay and cheap feeling and the quality is poor in comparison... look up the specs of each then tell me who is better... case closed.
dude for the kodak you need all these shit programs for the flip its already built in for you for the kodakyou have to instal like a frekin encyclopeida in there
@singhatar0912 Eh? What are you going on about? I use this camera. The Kodak zi8. I plug it in (like the flip), transfer my files from SD card to my computer, open them in my video editor and edit away. So what are you talking about? You don't need anything for it. The Kodak camera is an excellent pocket HD camera.
very well said and all true you have to remember that the flipvideo family of products are a fad they will pass and when they do the true high quality products will rain free such as the KODAK product there really is no comparison besides the flip video products do not take still pictures and their low quality lens on their products are very poor in quality and the so called HD is only software based the lens can't capture in HD poor flip video R.I.P.
@SomethingNewNow What are you going on about at least the flip doesn't have that god awful audio chirp that Kodak can't seem to fix after numerous firmware updates.
Capture every experience with the Zi8 in stunning 1080p HD video. Stay in focus while you're on the move with integrated image stabilization.

the Kodak is only 179,95 on the Kodak website ya i am using my other account... so anyways i was very disappointed with the Flip Camera so like i said in the video i'm gonna buy the Kodak Zi8 so look for future videos of that product in the future we will have t wait and see what happens lol...

ya man i was and i am very disappointed in the flip camera and the way that the person i spoke to handled me being the consumer and she did admit that the camera does not work well with the kind of laptop that i have i did read the system specs of what i needed according to the box my vista o.s. should work fine with the camera according to the box but it doesn't so i suggest the Kodak product the specs are so much better external mic input, it takes pictures, sd expanding slot, etc, etc...

I like the flip video quality better, i don't care what others say-
get a male to female USB converter if you dont want to plug it into your comp directly and put that (heavy lol) strain on your POS!
Or if you are computer illiterate then you might not be able to get the files in whatever media editing software you have.
the image stabilization is better on the flip hands down- and to anyone who is not just filming themselves in a bedroom needs this.
ps- my JVC handycam crushes the kodak
