I know that several of you (Shawn) do video blogging (or whatever it is we’re supposed to call it) so I’m asking for some advice.<\/p>\n
I’m thinking about getting a Flip, so I can have my grandmother send messages to my cousins, who will be scattered about the country by August. I thought it might be especially nice for the twins to have video to see, thought they might not appreciate it for a few years. (And I’m also hoping it will encourage my cousin to take video of the twins, but I don’t think that’s likely–simply because he and his wife are simply not that organized.)<\/p>\n
So how difficult is it to deal with video? I have never used any type of camcorder–ever. Is learning the Flip and posting the videos on the web (Flickr? YouTube?) going to be a steep learning curve for someone who hates to read the instruction manual? Or should it be straight forward? <\/p>\n
Essentially, is this going to be a big headache that would stress me out, or is it straight forwad and will be appreciated by my cousins so I should go for it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
