Flip video footage.

Here's an early attempt, taken in Rome, GA last week or so... using the Flip requires a steady hand, if not a tri-pod. Image quality is good, sound not. Won't replace a good Panasonic or Sony HD camera anytime soon.

My First Use of the P2 Card for Video Production

Just completed a two day shoot for AAA using the Panasonic HVX200 and instead of tape, we used the flash memory cards made by Panasonic, the P2. Then to begin the editing process in Final Cut Pro, I just downloaded from the camera to my Iomega Red 500 MB portable drive, brought it home and began editing. No more tape digitizing!!! I may never use tape again!

Here's a photo of the camera. A little dated now, it came out in 2005 but still a very useful HD camera (tho we shot in SD for this project):
