Video Edit Machine – First Looks
Hit the Full Screen button on the player to see the Video Edit Machine in all it’s online glory 
Thanks to all who voted for the logo!
The Video Edit Machine will allow you to upload video straight from your Flip camera (or any other source), add intros, extros, graphics, text, music, etc, etc while on the road and away from your computer. PLUS… the interface is the simplest to use with virtually ZERO learning curve. I think you all are gonna DIG IT!
Independence Day? You betcha! Independence from difficult to manage editing software. Now you can edit anytime, anywhere, anything!
Please leave me a comment below on what you think of the interface so far!

Perry, This looks awesome! From what I can see, it appears that we can edit 2 videos and 2 audios at same time. Is that right? We just used 2 videos cameras to record a scene and it looks like we can’t use Camtasia to edit the 2 at same time. Is that a limitation you’re familiar with?

Meredith, it uses an A B Roll metaphor. You transition from the A roll to the B roll. Not too difficult and super easy to get visually what is going on at all times. You can do multicam editing by putting cam 1 on track A and cam 2 on track B and transition between the two!

Exactly Kai! That’s what’s so cool about this. You can upload right from your Flip camera! Just pop into an internet cafe!

Looks exciting… can you lower the sound track on the FLIP, eliminate it or make it louder when you put it through the editor?
What formats; players; sizes, etc., will be available?
I can’t wait to see it.

You can adjust the volume of your video tracks and also of the separate audio track. You can mix the audio.

Most online services are monthly or annual fees. I’d have to experience it to give you a suggestion about price. We could beta test it for you by editing some videos, if you’d like. We’re a software company so we know how to test software!

Hey Perry
Looks great. Will there be an optional downloadable version? My concern with the online version is that video files can be large and the upload time would be quite lengthy.
I also wouldn’t be using it “on the go”. 99% of the time, all editing would be from my home office.
If fact, having a desktop version would be more convenient all around. That way, I’m only uploading once (when taking my final version to the web).
Just my opinion/feedback/suggestion
Looks like an awesome tool either way.

I like software as well as it is usually more reasonably priced than pay-by-the-month services. Just my personal opinion! Probably Perry, you have a model for two types of services if you want online and offline!

Thanks Marty! I do like the Flip software but it is quite limited. This is a few steps up from that and has a number of advantages. Plus, I’ll be posting tips, tricks, tutorials and ideas along with the roll out so you can maximize the tool!

That will be helpful Perry. Getting to learn how to use a software or service is usually the downside if there are no or not enough tutorials and tips and tricks as you say! It causes lots of frustration and worse yet so much wasted time!

I am so glad you are doing this. My flip library was locked for a month just as I was about to upload a ton of them to YouTube. Will it be a short wait to have fun with this? Also, what type of microphone do you recommend?
