Dad Speed Video Coming Soon
I’ve been doing some research on creating videos and putting them on my blog for everyone to see, and I have some good news.
About 5 or 6 months ago, the wife and I were experimenting with youtube and doing some videos, but using our camera was way too complicated. We would record the video (on our videocamera that still uses tapes - read “Old”), spend forever uploading the video to my computer via a crappy video capture device (only to then realize that the audio and video would be out of sync - read “Old chinese movies”), try to edit them using Windows Movie Maker (I now have Adobe Premier Pro), and when I was finally finished, spend 2-3 hours trying to upload them to youtube only to then get a message that said it was unsuccessful.
What a bitch!
So… like I said, I’ve been doing some research on video cameras that would make the process simple, and I’ve finally found the perfect camera for making movies for the web.
It’s called the Flip Ultra. You can find it here: http://www.theflip.com/ I just bought the wife and I 2 of them. Yay!
Using it is so easy. Step 1: Record Step 2: Connect to Computer Step 3: Upload to youtube or edit with built in software
So easy…. A caveman could do it
Here is a Review of the Flip Ultra done by another “youtuber”.

Well, if a caveman could do it, then MAYBE I could. How about a monkey? No…how about a dumb animal, like my dog? If she could do it, then I probably could.

I have recently been bitten by the video bug, and if I may make a suggestion - check out blip.tv. The video quality beats youtube. I upload my vids to both, just because youtube is so prevalent, but I post the blip.tv vids to my blog and just include a link to the youtube version in case anyone is having problems with the blip version.

Dude, since you mentioned the flip to me I investigated it, it does sound excellent, I think I had heard of it before we got the family camcorder some years ago I may have went that route. Can’t wait to see your videos. Nice Walmart fashion show BTW. Take care mate!

Also, check Miro.com for another resource to promote and load videos. They can easily be dugg, reddit or w/e from their site also. Peace!
