How to Install the Flip Video Software for Mac

Share

This detailed, step by step tutorial will show you how to install the Flip Video software app on your Mac.

Please note: This guide was initially published back in 2010 and the Flip Video app (FlipShare) may not work in modern versions of macOS. Unfortunately I no longer have my Flip Video camera so I can’t test the software by trying to install it on my Mac. It’s probably easiest to just manually copy the video to your Mac and use other video editing software – like iMovie.

  1. Plug your Flip Video camera into an available USB port on your Mac. Then open up a Finder window. In the DEVICES section, you should now see a volume titled FLIPVIDEO – select it. Inside that volume locate the file titled Start FlipShare.app and double-click it.
