I have both Mac's and PC's and I would say that it is extremely easy with anything video/photo on my mac (picasa is available for the mac by the way). Thanks for the comment rob Hey Cary NC Real Estate,

I agree. I have both Mac’s and PC’s and I would say that it is extremely easy with anything video/photo on my mac (picasa is available for the mac by the way).

Thanks for the comment

In order for agents to keep up with the competition they need to be involved with photo, video, and any other new mediums. I think where a lot of agents get hung up is with the desktop/laptop platform they run. Programs like Picasa make digital photo so easy. I prefer working with Picasa on my PC instead of Iphoto. One area that PC users can really struggle with is video. From uploading your video to creating a movie it is extremely difficult. I recently tried creating a movie from some footage I took and it was next to impossible on a PC. Not to mention the video software crippled my machine. Luckily I have both a PC and a MAC. Imovie makes it extremely easy to upload, edit and convert your cameras footage to a sharable file with ease. For agent who have tried any aspect of video uploading or editing with a PC, don't give up. Go to a MAC store and try it on a MAC. You will be extremely surprised at how quickly you can make professional videos. I agree with regarding real estate agents and technology.

Personally, I'm really looking forward to this upgrade because it matters so much more compared to going 3G from the first iPhone.

]]> Comment on Every Realtor Should Have a Flip Video Cam by Lou Lynch http://hightechrealtor.wordpress.com/2008/09/27/every-realtor-should-have-a-flip-video-cam/#comment-42 Lou Lynch Thu, 13 Nov 2008 10:25:20 +0000 http://hightechrealtor.wordpress.com/?p=32#comment-42 Video is the new tool of the web savvy realtor. It used to be that real estate consumers visited the website with the most pictures, then consumers seemed to gravitate towards sites w/ a good number of virtual tours. Now the clear winner is the website that has video of the areas and the listings. Realtor's that see this trend, push through the learning curve and implement the technology will ultimately see the most success. Video is the new tool of the web savvy realtor.

It's compact, extremely dyrable and shoots decent quality video. Video is not for every real estate professional but as I've said several times, it's something everyone should at least try once. That said, your job as a agent is to be the local expert and market property. Should you come to the conclusion it's not for you, post a project on WellcomeMat and let the Video Pros come to you! http://www.wellcomemat.com/productionboard/ As someone who’s worked with video producers and shot a fair amount of professional video on my own, I was surprised to find out how much I enjoyed using this camera.
