This chapter raises several issues:

• Simple is good. Power is good. Does FlipShare make the right tradeoff?
  Is this editor powerful enough for the 'average' Flip HD user?
• Media management becomes more and more important over time, as you shoot
  and store more and more clips. Is FlipShare's folder system sufficient for
  your needs?
• The Flip Mino-HD is a High Definition camera that uses a format called '720p.'
  What that means is that your movie images are 1280 pixels wide by 720 pixels
  tall. Is it important to you to be able to preserve that resolution when you
  edit and share your movies? Does the 'typical' Flip user edit at all?
• Are FlipShare's automatic fade transitions sufficient? Do you want to use
  other kinds of transitions? What about FlipShare's titles and credits?
• Are other FlipShare shortcomings, like the tiny preview window you have
  to use when putting together your final sequence, important to you?
  

For users of the Flip Mino/Ultra-HD, the upgrade to the feature set in FlipShare 4.5 is impressive:

• The most interesting new feature Flip has introduced is Flip Channels, which give you a way to share your videos with your friends and family.
• The user interface for capturing snapshots has been improved, so that you're able to see thumbnails of six frames before and six frames after the position of the read head and pick out the one you want:
• You can now move your video library location from the system drive to, say, another drive with more space, or a location in common with other videos.
• You can import files into your library from other locations. On a Windows system, you can import AVI, MP4, WMV, and JPG files, whether or not they were originally created with your Flip camcorder.
