last minute Flip tip

IF you are filming with a FLIP video camera AND you are editing on a Mac, I recommend using iMovie HD as opposed to iMovie 08. If you don't have it, you can download it (downloading and installing iMovie HD will not overwrite or delete '08, so you're safe; and, it's free!).

For all other cameras, iMovie 08 should work just fine. Most cameras, including the Flip, can be used seamlessly with Windows Movie Maker on the PC.
