The first version was originally released as the "Pure Digital Point & Shoot" video camcorder on May 1, 2006 as a reusable follow-on to the popular CVS One-Time-Use Camcorder, a Pure Digital product sold through CVS/Pharmacy stores that was designed for direct conversion to DVD media. This was in turn a line extension of previous digital disposable camera products (sold initially through Ritz Camera and associated brands under the Dakota Digital name). The camcorder was then renamed as the Flip Video a year later. On September 12, 2007, the Flip Ultra was released. The Flip Ultra has been the best-selling camcorder on Amazon.com since the day of its debut, capturing about 13% of the camcorder market.

However, I found many people want to know how to edit Flip video on Mac as below.

Q1: How to make cool edits on flip video cam with a mac computer?
How can u make special effects and cool edits on flip videos???? with a mac compter....this is somthing i need 2 know

Q2: How do you get clips off of a Flip Video that are on Flip Video for Mac to iMovie?
I have several clips on Flip Video for Mac that I took off of my Flip Video and I need to put them on iMovie to edit. If anyone can get them directly off my Flip Video or get them from Flip Video to Mac to iMovie please tell me. Thanks!

For resolving these problems, I search a tool--- edit Flip Videos on Mac directly without any conversion by trimming the flip video length to select your favourite video clips, cropping the video size by removing the black sides in the frame, applying some special effects like brightness, contrast, saturation. I hope it is helpful for us.
