The look
Two 2000s camcorder looks
Recorded live by the same engine that renders the viewfinder, so what you see is what you save.
- Flip Cam. Crunchy, low-bitrate pocket video with simple exposure and a tiny-camera feel.
- MiniDVD. Warm consumer contrast and visible MPEG blockiness from the DVD camcorder era.
- Shown live. Compression character appears in the viewfinder, so you see exactly what you will get.
- Date stamp. Pick a date from 2003 or any year you like for the on-screen date line.
- Share as one movie. Put a night’s scenes on one tape and share the whole thing as a single video.

FAQ
Flip Cam & MiniDVD questions.
More answers on the Support page.
What is a Flip Cam effect?
The Flip camera was a pocket camcorder from the late 2000s. Its video looked low-bitrate and simple. HomeMovieCam recreates that look live as you record.
What does the MiniDVD format look like?
Like a DVD camcorder from around 2000: warm, contrasty, and slightly blocky from MPEG compression.
Do I need to edit the 2000s look onto my videos?
No. Choose Flip Cam or MiniDVD, press record, and the saved scene already has the look.
