Does it do freeze frame? NOT screenshot but the ability to freeze a frame during editing and retain the frozen frame as a clip in the timeline? NOT a capture or export that saves a file to somewhere else, but a real freeze frame? I need something that...

Yes, it does freeze frame. There is a "Tools" button on the bottom of the application and the freeze frame option is listed there. You can set your marker in the time line, use the option and set the time duration to add the still to your film. If you want to test this program out, you can download a trial from Adobe's website. It's pretty good.

I use Windows Movie Maker exclusively with my camera, and have had NO issues whatsoever with importing the files, or editing of the files using this software. It may not show up in the folder as a "media" file, but if you check all files, then you are able to import the raw video and edit away. Took me maybe 15 minutes to edit my first video with this camera and software.

NO, do NOT get a MAC. Overpriced and WAY over-hyped. I can edit 60p with ZERO chop on one of my meager core-duo laptops at 1.8ghz, with effects and PIP's, etc. no problem. You probably are not optimally configured both in hardware and software. What kind of hard drive do you have? This is a very likely culprit. I typically only edit on RAID0 configs because of their awesome speed, and this is where the bottle-neck is really. Also, get some real editing software. I've been using Edius for 10+ years now, and it is simply THE BEST NLE software I have ever used bar none (Vegas, Avid, Premiere Pro through CS4, and yes (sigh) Final Crap Pro). It is incredibly fast, stable, and supports mixed formats and more on a single timeline. Best wishes in any case.

I have never tried to do a FREEZE FRAME, but their support system is excellent. For what I need MOVAVI 11 VIDEO is extremely sufficient. If you would like to see some of the projects I did with MOVAVI, I would be more than happy to share them.... thank u 4 asking

yes. There is a selection on the bottom left of the screen to instantly save the clip.

My flip mino hd froze after shooting for 20 minutes today. By 'froze' I mean, it kept recording, but I couldn't get it to stop. I couldn't zoom in or out or turn it off... none of the buttons worked. I let it sit for a few minutes, then tried again, and I was able to shut it off. I turned it back on, and everything worked fine. I hope the problem doesn't occur again, but who knows.

Not to record, no. Unless I missed it somewhere. You get a new file whenever you start and stop recording.

It has loop recording, once it uses up all available space it will start to overwrite the old recording starting with the oldest file. You can save the video file by pressing the hazard button, but you have to do it right away. it will save the file into a different folder that can't be deleted or overwritten from the camera, but can be done from a pc. its in MOV format so i don't see a problem for not viewing it on a mac, but i don't have a mac to confirm it. yes, you can playback video on the camera screen. but its a little more complicated. it also records audio by default but you can change the setting to have it not record audio.

Thanks for the info Corey! I agree that zooming during recording can get a bit nauseating if done too much/too fast but it is a nice feature to have in certain instances. At least the zoom works before/after like it does on my old 3.2MP Cyber-shot. Thanks for clearing that up.

Hi, yes there is one issue. Once it got freeze when i was focusing in low light. No controls were responding including on-off switch. I had to remove battery to restart the camera. I am waiting for Ricoh to announce this as a known issue and release firmware update soon. Thanks.

This software allows to take a Snapshot to the File of the frame, and save it as an image file (.jpg or .png). Although there is no Frame Grabber per say. Here is the instruction for this: Right-click the display and choose Save Snapshot to File to save the current frame as an image file. The Save Snapshot to File dialog is displayed to allow you to choose the format and location where you want to save the file. The file is automatically added to the Project Media window. Hopefully it helps. Best wishes, MP

Thomas, I love the camera!!! It's extremely easy to transfer the videos to your PC to edit. I have found that even though the software initially permits "frame to frame" editing, it actually edits in segments on the PC. When transferring to "YouTube" I have lost the last segment, yet, I'm a novice at this. It is possible to edit on the camera directly which I have not yet tried. The camera is new to me and I wasn't yet confident enough that I may loose my videos while editing on the camera. The camera is amazing for far distance shooting, the main reason for my purchase. Hope this has been of help. cj Thomas, I love the camera!!! It's extremely easy to transfer the videos to your PC to edit.

I am now upgraded to Version 12. I am not sure what you mean by "narrative scene editing" but you can do pretty much everything in terms of editing a video. Ideally would be to contact them directly. But again, it is a very powerful software.

P.S. I forgot, I think it will allow pausing while recording.... but have not tried it myself.

It doesnt pause. When you stop and restart, it's recorded as a new video on the card. Windows Movie Maker works excellent for piecing the clips back together.

There are settings that you can edit. I run mine for 5 minutes max. It's perfect though. I might actually change into a minute because it does loop recording with no gaps and it does not take as long to transfer a file over vs the 5 minute clips. I don't remember off the top of my head but you first must stop any recording. Then you push the little button on the bottom (normally turns the screen on or off while it is recording) and it will pull up the settings menu. Play around in that and you will see how different options and you can change your record options there. I also chose to have my display turn off my itself after 1 minute (its the fastest). I entered my licenses plant number as well. It's a great device with lots of options. Check it out and you get into the settings. :)

Yes you can shoot stills while recording video. It is not a feature I am familiar with but I just tried it and it worked just fine.
