The Flip Video cameras are an American series of tapeless camcorders for digital video created by Pure Digital Technologies,^[1] a company bought by Cisco Systems in March 2009;^[2] variants included the UltraHD,^[3] the MinoHD,^[4] and the SlideHD.^[5] Flip Video cameras were known for their simple interface with few buttons, minimal menus and built in USB plugs (from which they derived the flip name), and were marketed as making video 'simple to shoot, simple to share'^[6] Production of the line of Flip video cameras ran from 2006 until April 2011, when Cisco Systems discontinued them as part of a move to '...exit aspects of (their) consumer businesses.'^[7] Flip cameras contributed to an increase in the popularity of similar pocket camcorders, although the inclusion of HD video cameras in many smartphones has since made them a more niche product.

Features[edit]

Flip cameras can record videos at different resolutions. FlipHD camcorders digitally recordhigh-definition video at 1280 x 720 resolution using H.264video compression, Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) audio compression and the MP4 file format, while the older models used a 640 x 480 resolution.^[8] The MinoHD and SlideHD models had an internal lithium-ion rechargeable battery included, while the Ultra series included a removable battery that could be interchanged with standard AA or AAA batteries.

All models lacked memory card extension slots, though the Flip UltraHD(2 hr) could record to a storage device via FlipPort. Models could be connected to a computer with a flip-out USB connector, without the need for a USB cable. Flip Cameras recorded monaural sound, and used a simple clip-navigation interface with a D-pad and two control buttons which allowed for viewing of recorded videos, starting and stopping recording, and digital zoom. The third and final generation of Flip UltraHD cameras retailed for $149.99 and $199.99 for 4GB (1 hour) and 8GB (2 hour) models respectively, incorporated digital stabilization, and increased the frame rate from 30 to 60 frames per second. With FlipPort, users can plug in external accessories.

All Flip cameras included the required video player and 3ivx codec software, FlipShare, on the camera's internal storage. For all models after 2010, an HDMI cable could stream videos to TV screens.

Later Flip Video models came in a variety of colors, and could be custom ordered with designs digitally painted on. Accessories for the Flip Video camera included an underwater case, a mini-tripod, a bicycle helmet attachment, and a wool case (Mino camcorders) or soft pouch (Flip UltraHD), rechargeable battery replacements for the UltraHD series, and an extension cable.^[9]

Flip Video's accompanying software was called FlipShare, which facilitated downloads of videos, basic editing, and uploading to various websites. After the release of version 5.6, FlipShare no longer included a function to convert video to WMV format. While this has been acknowledged by Cisco as a defect, a fix has yet to be announced.

History[edit]

The first version was originally released as the 'Pure Digital Point & Shoot' video camcorder on May 1, 2006^[10] as a reusable follow-on to the popular CVS One-Time-Use Camcorder, a Pure Digital product sold through CVS/pharmacy stores that was designed for direct conversion to DVD media. This was in turn a line extension of previous digital disposable camera products (sold initially through Ritz Camera and associated brands under the Dakota Digital name). The camcorder was then renamed as the Flip Video a year later.^[11] On September 12, 2007, the Flip Ultra was released.^[12] The Flip Ultra was the best-selling camcorder on Amazon.com after its debut, capturing about 13% of the camcorder market.^[13] Flip products received an unusually large advertising campaign, including product placement, celebrity endorsements, and sponsoring of events such as concert tours^[14][15][16] during their introduction. From 2009, and through the Cisco takeover, the Flip range was sold in Europe by Widget UK^[17]

The third and final Flip MinoHD was released on September 20, 2010. It featured HD recording capabilities in the same dimensions as the second generation MinoHD (1280/720 at 30 fps), The only major change in the MinoHD third generation was Image Stabilization. Also released on September 20, 2010 was a 4 GB, MinoHD with one hour of recording capability. The one-hour version retailed for $179 and the two-hour version retailed for $229.

Free Minos were made available to all audience members at YouTube Live due to Flip Video's sponsorship of the event. A station was even set up so people could upload the videos to YouTube.

FlipShare TV[edit]

FlipShare TV was an accessory for the third generation Flip UltraHD camera, and allowed users to connect the TV base to their TV, plug in a USB transmitter key to their computer and view their Flipshare library.

Acquisition and shutdown by Cisco[edit]

On May 21, 2009, Cisco Systems acquired Pure Digital Technologies for US$ 590 million in stock.^{[citation needed]}

On April 12, 2011, Cisco announced that it 'will exit aspects of its consumer business' which includes shutting down the Flip Video division.^[20]

Some observers suggested that the Flip was facing growing competition from camera phones, particularly smartphones (which disrupted consumer electronics trade such as point-and-shoot cameras, wristwatches, alarm clocks, portable music players and GPS devices) that had recently begun incorporating HD video cameras.

Contrary to popular perception, smartphones made up only a small fraction of overall worldwide sales of cell phones in 2011, and the Flip was still selling strongly when its discontinuation was announced.^[21] Other potential causes of the shutdown include the fact that consumer hardware was not part of Cisco's core businesses of services and software, and that their profit margins on consumer electronics at the time were narrow.^[7]

As Cisco shut down the Flip business instead of divesting of it, it has been suggested that the patents and other intellectual property from the acquisition could prove valuable to Cisco's videoconferencing business in the future.^[21][22]

Get all best apps via Setapp

With its enhancements and limitations, the new macOS 10.15 is inescapable. The official release is planned for September 2019, but Apple savvy users have tested Catalina long before — with the macOS 10.15 beta. If you’re not one of them, you might want to check the best assets of the new macOS here.

Catalina comes with extended workspace, no iTunes, and 64-bit app architecture. According to early user reports, the beta feels faster and more stable than the previous ones.

It’s not all rosy, though. By switching to 64-bit apps, macOS Catalina stops supporting the apps with 32-bit architecture. For you, this means no access to over 200 popular applications.

The bundle of incompatible apps have been discovered by iOS developer, Steve Moser, when he was testing the developer beta of Catalina. Once you upgrade, you can find the full list in Library/Apple/Library/Bundles.

We’ve collected the major Adobe, Apple, and Microsoft programs you’ll have issues with in macOS Catalina. No need to panic just yet — there are ways to fix this.

Replace 32-bit apps with Setapp alternatives

Stop worrying about your favorite apps not working on macOS Catalina. Download Setapp and you’ll have them replaced with the better ones.

Which Mac apps will stop working

The problem of Catalina incompatibility is not only about third-party apps. Apple is not 100% prepared too. For people working with multimedia projects, it’s important to know which Adobe software won’t be working after the update. So take a deep breath, and see what’s going away.

Apple apps not working in Catalina

• iWork’09, an old version of Apple’s office suite that includes Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. Apple released the newer bundle with 64-bit apps in 2013 — so an update will fix the problem here. Alternatively, you can get more advanced substitutes like Ulysses for writing and markdown.
• Final Cut Studio and Logic Studio. You can upgrade to Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro X instead.
• Apple’s DVD Player (older versions released before macOS Mojave).
• Aperture. The app won’t work in Catalina, even though it’s 64-bit. Apple recommends to switch to Photos or Adobe Lightroom. If you need a pro-level editor for a moderate price, you might want to try CameraBag Pro.

Microsoft apps not working in Catalina

• The 2011 version of Microsoft Office (Word 2011, Excel 2011, PowerPoint 2011, Outlook 2011). To continue using the apps, get the 2016 version of Microsoft Office. Or, you can switch to Apple’s iWork, Ulysses, or other Mac alternatives.

Adobe apps not working in Catalina

Since Adobe moved to a subscription model called Creative Cloud, there has been lots of shared components introduced across Adobe products. For instance, if you buy a subscription, you may get a 64-bit application with a 32-bit installer. This won’t work in Catalina. Adobe says they are working on updating shared components for macOS 10.15. In the meantime, be aware of the incompatible apps:

• Photoshop. There have been issues with the 2018 version of Photoshop in macOS Mojave, so you may expect the trouble in Catalina as well. If you want to use the app, Adobe recommends to get Photoshop CC 2019.
• Premiere Pro. The app is 64-bit, but there have been reported issues related to camera and microphone access in macOS 10.15.
• Illustrator. The CS5 version won’t be supported in Catalina, but you may switch to CS6.
• InDesign. To this one, you have to say goodbye. At least, for now. The latest CS6 version hasn’t been updated to 64-bit architecture yet.
• Acrobat Pro. The recent version of the app, as well as Acrobat DC and Acrobat Reader DC, have 32-bit components. So it’s a no, for now.

Flipshare Mac

Most Adobe apps — even those with 64-bit architecture — are known for Dark Mode issues. So if you continue using the apps in Catalina, be careful with the darkness.

As a safe alternative, get CameraBag Pro or Capto. They work equally well for professional designers and amateurs. Both are available on Setapp, a subscription package that, by the way, offers many more photo editing tools — just ask for it.

How to check if an app is compatible with Catalina

We’ve talked a lot about outdated app architecture, so the first thing you’ll want to check when upgrading is whether your app is 32-bit. Here’s an easy way to do it on Mac:

1. Click on the Apple logo in the upper left corner.
2. Select About This Mac > System Report.
3. Navigate to Applications under the Software tab.
4. Find your app on the list and check whether it says “Yes” in the 64-bit column. In macOS Catalina, there will be no such column. So, you’ll have to click on the app and see a short description that says “Kind: 64-bit.”

We also recommend to pay attention to the “Obtained from” field. Ideally, it should say Apple, Mac App Store, or Identified Developer. Avoid using apps that are specified as “Obtained from Unknown,” while these are most likely to misbehave.

If you want to uninstall 32-bit applications before upgrading, CleanMyMac X will swipe everything away for you. Open the app and go to Uninstaller. Filter your apps by 32-bit and click Uninstall. Instead of checking System Report every time, you can find and remove every outdated application in a few seconds.

If your app doesn’t work in macOS 10.15

The problem with 64-bit architecture is that many developers choose not to optimize their 32-bit applications for Mac with the release of Catalina. If that’s the case and you can’t find an alternative for the missing app, you might need to downgrade back to Mojave. Luckily, there’s a way to fix most problems with apps not working in Catalina:

• Check whether a developer has a 64-bit update for your app.
• Look for an alternative app compatible with macOS 10.15. For instance, most of the Adobe apps for photo and video editing can be replaced with Capto or CameraBag Pro.
• Roll back to Mojave and continue using 32-bit apps. You should note, though, that Apple may stop the support for Mojave by 2020, which means it will stop supporting 32-bit architecture sooner or later.

While many developers continue working on Catalina compatibility, there will be further changes to the list. For questions and quick insights, follow the MacRumors discussion on Catalina apps.

Meantime, prepare for all the awesome things you can do with Setapp.
