The camera comes with basic video editing software (FlipShare), but staff would like to use something that would provide more advanced editing. We were hoping to use Windows Movie Maker (we have 2.1 installed on our XP workstations), but unfortunately the file format is not compatible. Seems like we either have to purchase some conversion software or some other video editing software that is already compatible with videos created with the Flip camera.
