ScreenFlow 2 Review from Macworld

Link via MacWorld

ScreenFlow 2ScreenFlow 2.0 is a big step forward for the screen recording application. The addition of transitions, freeze frames, clip speed adjustments, audio ducking, and basic color adjustment tools really make ScreenFlow an all-in-one solution. It’s now something that I could use for an entire project from start to finish, instead of exporting my edited screen recordings for further processing in Final Cut Express. Those users who need higher-end features, such as real color correction or advanced titling and more control over transitions, will still want to do some work in Final Cut or Final Cut Express; for most anyone else, though, ScreenFlow should meet their needs.

Compared to Camtasia for Mac, its most direct competitor, ScreenFlow holds the edge in a few key areas. ScreenFlow does a better job at capturing high CPU usage activities, it will let you record on a second or third monitor (though only one screen at a time), and its tools for focusing attention on windows, and activities around the cursor, are better than those in Camtasia.

For now, at least, ScreenFlow’s combination of tools and performance makes it the best all-in-one screen recording and editing tool for the Mac.

ScreenFlow 2 is available at an education discount price of $94 (Boxed copy is $108).
