How to clear out my flip video camera on a Mac?

Flip Video Camera not importing to my Mac!?

  • i have a macbook, and i am trying to import it to my computer. when i put it in, i click on the pop up that cam up. then i clicked on the folder that said DCIM, and then i clicked on the 100 video folder, and then i clicked on the first video, and it said that it is not compatible with my quicktime player, but i wanted to import it to imovie!!

  • Answer:

    iMovie has different versions, each version has more or less difference, the video formats they can support has its limitation, it supports mov, dv, hdv,MPEG4, etc, but for the flip camcorder(include the Flip Ultra, the Flip Ultra HD, the Flip video Mino, and the Flip video Mino HD) just produce flip video in mp4 or avi format, avi flip video can’t recognized by iMovie, so converting flip avi to the formats compatible for iMovie, you can import your flip file to iMovie without any difficulties. http://www.flip-converter.com/article-flip-mac/Importing-flip-video-to-iMovie/
