If you need to create impressive professional quality screengrabs and work with a software package that’s also a pretty decent video editor (meaning you can do everything from a single app), ScreenFlow 9 is definitely worth the price of admission - as long as you own a Mac.ĭownload the free trial now to see what you think. Upgrades are on a sliding scale ranging from $79 (if upgrading from version 4) to $39 (when moving from version 8). ScreenFlow will set you back $129 for the full version. Many bugs have been squished, and all new features are a welcome addition to the toolkit. Final verdictĪll in all, ScreenFlow 9 is a solid improvement over the previous version. It’s an all or nothing approach here, and you can’t choose which files should be included and which shouldn’t, but at least it gives you an option, which is something you didn’t have before. You now have the option to save the project as a “packaged document” (ie, how it’s always been), or a “single file document”, where all media files remain wherever they were on your drive. The media you use in a project can be saved within the document (the previous version’s only option), or you can now choose to leave those files where they currently are on your computer, saving only your edit decision, and storage space (Image credit: telestream) Creation improvementsīecoming more of a video editor does not mean that Telestream have neglected the core screen capture aspect of ScreenFlow, and there are a few welcome features to that side of the software as well. If a different clip is already present there, ScreenFlow will add the new one above it. Instead, you need to click on the ‘+’ button to add it at the timeline’s playhead’s location. From there, you can watch the footage, and set in and out points either by clicking on the relevant buttons, use the I and O keys or drag the selection handles.Ī clip can’t be dragged from that window onto the timeline which would’ve been a more organic action when you think about it. ![]() Double-click on any clip in the Media tab to open it up a new panel to the left of the interface. Clip previewĪnother long overdue addition is the ability to preview a clip and set in and out points prior to adding it to the timeline. It also means there are multiple ways to do the same thing now: you can for instance split a clip using the T keyboard shortcut, or use the new blade tool, using the B key.Īside from the Blade tool, we have a Hand (H) to drag the timeline along, Zoom (Z) to magnify the timeline, Track Select (N) to select all clips on one particular track from the cursor’s location onwards, and finally, you can switch back to the usual selection tool with the A key. So we were very pleased to see that ScreenFlow has decided to join that party. This omission had been a bugbear for quite some time, as those handful of tools are pretty much ubiquitous in high end professional video editing software, meaning you could almost always rely on them and their accompanying keyboard shortcuts to be around, making it easy to transition between apps. That trend continues with this version as a Tools Palette has finally been added to its features list. I just clipped my screen up on an existing frame or to a bookcase with cheap spring clamps from Home Depot.The new video editing friendly tool palette is now available lower left of the interface (Image credit: telestream) If you want to go all out you can attach grommets in the corners and in the middle so you can easily hang it on nails. WARNING: Do not paint this on anything except a plastic tarp because this will bleed through as you paint it. The 6’x9’ drop cloth took up about 1/2 gallon of paint because it is so absorbent and some of it leaks through. I didn’t iron before painting and it is still wrinkled–I’m a little afraid to iron it with all the paint in it after the fact. With Screen Flow you can create a custom UI (user interface) and guide users through. I picked up a 6’x9’ canvas tarp that is typically used as a drop cloth and painted it green as well.

But you do feel a bit like you are making a Marvel movie, so I personally describe it as crazy awesome green. ![]() But, as noted in this table, there are a number of differences: Area. Both let you create forms that guide users through a business process and both are designed for non-developers to use. Drywall doesn’t shine and works perfectly. OmniScripts sound similar to screen flows. If you are just doing some Zoom calls and want a green backdrop, you can paint a half of a sheet and attach it with screws to your wall so you can remove it later (attach to studs). Since I had a sheet of 1/2" drywall, I painted it as a test (before I painted an actual office wall) and it took the paint really well.
