So hopefully he’ll be able to fix this little (super annoying) glitch.Īll in all, it’s a great app! I’m still not a fan of rendering, but it’s the price I’ll have to pay for the features that I can now add to my recordings to produce better recordings in the end. Each time you relaunch the app after a crash it offers to send the crashlog to the developer and I did. Eventually I must have turned off the right one, because the export finally worked! I was too tired to try and narrow it down to exactly which Callout was causing the issue. I thought to myself, 'it must not like something that I’ve added to this video.' So I started turning off the fancy Callouts. Now I was annoyed that I wouldn’t be able to get my beautifully recorded podcast episode out of this thing and worse I’d have to record it over again using iShowU. I tried changing my export options several times and it crashed each time. About 3-5 minutes into the export process, the app crashed! I fired it back up (luckily I had saved my work) and tried it again. After I was done editing, I did an export and that’s where the disappointment came in. I even took the time to add in some of the Callouts. I was able to do a Ripple Delete and cut out a mistake I made during the recording (something iShowU and Snapz, don’t allow).

The recording worked GREAT! Editing on the timeline worked great. That’s OK, because that’s as real world as it’s going to get for me. This episode is a little longer (ok, a lot longer) than my average ones. So I recorded my latest Adobe Creative Suite Podcast episode using it. Like I said, I wanted to see if ScreenFlow would be worth the post process rendering (during export). With Callouts you can also have your keyboard shortcuts displayed automatically on screen at the point you typed them. You can even add a radar type flashing circle so that people can see your pointer on screen and know exactly where you clicked. You can add a click sound so that people know when you clicked your mouse. While these features are great, the other thing that really attracted me to ScreenFlow was the fact that it allows you to put in 'Callouts.' Callouts allow you to do things like zoom in on your cursor during post editing. Let’s say you mention a URL during the recording, you can add that URL as a graphic the pops up in the lower portion of the screen during the time that you mentioned it.

So you can add in graphics and other recordings after the fact. Not only can you make edits, you can have multiple tracks. Once I was done recording, I was able to scrub to the mistake on the timeline and cut it right out. ScreenFlow also adds several other enhancements like being able to cut out mistakes! Last night I recorded my most recent Creative Suite Podcast episode and I made a mistake during the recording.

While all the apps capture your audio and computer audio (if you like), only ScreenFlow captures your video too. It also has a major advantage in that it also allows you to simultaneously capture your video via your iSight camera or other camera source. Unlike iShowU and SnapzPro, ScreenFlow allows you to do post process editing right in the app.

So it’s going to be hard to get me to go back to an app that has to render the final movie out after you record it.Īlthough ScreenFlow does require post process rendering, it may be worth it because of all the editing capabilities it has. The thing I absolutely love about iShowU is that once you’re done recording, that’s it! There is no post processing/rendering.

#Screenflow vs imovie pro

My current choices are iShowU, which has become my primary app and SnapzPro X which not only does screen recording, but also does screen grabs in various formats with pro level controls.

So I depend upon my screen recording software weekly. As you know, I’m always recording tutorials, podcasts, online classes, content for instructional DVDs, etc.

A couple of weeks ago while attending the ADIM conference my buddy Colin Fleming turned me on to a new (well new to me) screen recording app called ScreenFlow (sorry PC users, this is Mac only).
