I recently did a project with my students that involved Flip Cams and creating short films. During that process, I have examined a lot of ways that either my students could easily edit their own footage or what I could use in order to easily display my student work over the internet.

Due to the fact that the format that the Flip Cam records on is MP4, you are instantly confined with choices on what to use......
