Geordie, I just recently posted a blog that you'd be interested to see about online editing software.  Well, I'm not really sure if it's called software, maybe online editing programs.  But anyways check it out, I'm sure you will find it interesting.  It is what I found when I had your question.

Great job... I thought you did a great job for the 1st time..... I can't wait to see more..... I'm thinking about getting one too.

I am so excited about getting a Flip camera - thanks for sharing your video. What a spectacular view you have!

Very good video, you look like you were having a lot of fun

Thanks for taking a look. I should have my hike posted shortly. (Still a pretty rough video...)

You can see my Sauer Mountain Hike here. Thanks again for coming to take a look. If you have any great tips or ideas don't be bashful. I love constructive criticism.

Geordie - the quality looks pretty good.  I keep hearing this term flip video - are you referrnig to a specific camera?  If so - what is the model & make? 

Geordie- from what I have read Mixpo is the way to go with video.  I just bought a flip video camera too!

Thanks for sharing.  GOOD job! I love my little FlipVideo camera. I PLAN on using it this weekend!

Geordie - enjoyed the movie - thanks for doing my homework for me!

Looks like a nice place...unfortunately, I don't have a video camera yet, so I can't give you advice on software...Activebrad had a great post though on Mixpo!

I enjoyed the video and appreciate all the opinions on how easy to use this camera is.  I am looking into getting one.  Geordie-do you have a suggestion on where to get one?  Did you go to a local store or buy it on line?

Thanks so much for all the comments.

Kristina - Allyson (my partner) found the 2 G online at www.thenerds.net

Jeremy and Vickie - Yes, it sounds like ActiveBrad is a big fan of the Mixpo

Bo- yes the Flip video camera is made by Pure Digital. It is small, cheap and simple to use

Kat- Curious to see what you shoot this weekend..

I never leave home w/o my flip! I did not have any luck downloading video on my imac, but on my pc..it is very easy...just put it in the ubc!

VERY NICE!!!!!  BRAVO

I love my Flip and it is so easy to use.  Check out Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0 as one of the video editing softwares as you make your comparison.  I personally use a Mac but I bought the Adobe product for a comparison based on a friends recommendation and it is a very slick program for only $99

excellent try sir. Keep on trucking.

How do you put a video on Active Rain? Do you have to do it through the HTML page and embed the video viewer there?

I use ULEAD video editor ($125), it's easy to use and has a lot of features.

Gordie, you did great ! It gets easier, I can't get my photos to go in AR since the upgrade so I am holding off on doing a flip, even though I have done one for the contest.

Missy - Thanks for taking a look.

Richard - I'll take a look at ULEAD. I posted my video on youtube and then embedded it on AR in the HTML page. It's pretty easy.

Sam- Thanks for recommending the Adobe software. I have been impressed with the videos of yours that I have seen so far.

Great Job. I hate being in front of the camera. You looked relaxed and at ease!

Christy- I don't care for looking at myself on video, but I don't mind doing the "performing." I would much rather be the voice behind the images than the image itself.
