Review and edit a video

When you create a video, you can quickly review and post it or go into the video editor to make changes to individual clips. Learn how to download and change a video you already posted.

Edit a video before you post it

After you record or import any clips, you’re able to make basic edits to individual clips before you post them as a multiple-clip video.

Notes:

  • Some editing features may differ depending on the device you use for Flip.
  • For videos created with Flip on web, the review screen doesn’t change for multiple-clip videos.
