FlipVideo cameras are small devices that are really taking video cameras into the mainstream. They are small, affordable, and highly easy to use. And yet the capability of video they furnish is remarkable. With the coming of the FlipVideo, video capture has come into the hands of the masses. (Won't YouTube be thrilled?)
While it is true that one of the advantages of a FlipVideo is the ease of use, unfortunately this can also be fairly limiting as far as features. The software that comes built into the camera does allow for super easy uploading to common video sites like YouTube and Facebook. And it even has some basic editing features, such as adding a title page and a toll page.

You are forced to go with third-party software. This does Not, however, necessarily mean buying an costly software suite. In fact, there are some marvelous pieces of software that are open source, or free, for users.
For example, Windows Movie Maker comes built in to all Windows operating systems. Mac has a similar agenda that is, by default, installed with the platform. Users can import the videos that were made with the FlipVideo camera, and then cut, splice, originate transitions, and add special effects.
To turn the format of file (Mp4, Avi, Mpeg-2, Wmv, Mov, etc.), there are a host of free video converters available, such as the one from koyotesoft.com. This allows you to pick the output size, frame rate and capability of the video from one file type to another. You may need to turn the format from Flip's default (Mp4) to other kind in order for the free video editors like Windows Movie Maker to work.
Once your file is in a literal, format, import it to your editing software, make your changes, then 'publish' the video in a format that is compatible with what you want to do. For example, if you want to upload to YouTube, you can use a Wmv format (or even Flv). Again, if the editing software does not furnish that type, use a suitable output like Avi.
