![]() Let me talk you through the process of making a screen capture movie with this amazing program. With ScreenFlow, these problems are gone but that doesn’t begin to explain what’s great about ScreenFlow. Plus, I’ve never found a setting where onscreen text appears in crisp focus in the resulting movie. It has no option to compress sound, so narrated movies are always huge therefore, I always have to recompress afterwards (I use the wonderful QTAmateur for that, as I’m too stingy to pay for QuickTime Pro). But without prejudice to Snapz Pro – a wonderful utility, which I use constantly – it has never worked as well as it should have for movies. In the past, I always made screencasts with Ambrosia Software’s Snapz Pro X. In all these cases and many more, I find that one moving picture is often worth ten thousand words. As a dutiful son, I have to show my mother how to remove Bookmarks Bar items in Safari. As a beta tester, I have to describe to a developer how to trigger a bug. As a documentation writer, I have to explain to users how to work with software. This might not seem sexy to you, but please accept, for purposes of discussion, that to some of us, screencasts are very, very important. A screencast, in this context, is simply a screen capture movie – a movie of your computer screen, capturing what you do (and, optionally, what you say). This program has knocked my socks off – with my shoes on. I quite frankly had no idea that an application could look and act like this. Well, that user is me using Vara Software’s ScreenFlow. There used to be an advertisement – I forget what it was for, exactly – that portrayed the user sitting in an armchair facing his computer, with his hair, his dog, and everything else in the room streaming backward, blown by the metaphorical force of whatever was happening on the computer screen. #1631: iOS 16.0.3 and watchOS 9.0.2, roller coasters trigger Crash Detection, Medications in iOS 16, watchOS 9 Low Power Mode. ![]() #1632: Apple Card Savings accounts, SOS in the iPhone status bar, Tab Wrangler, Focus in iOS 16.#1633: macOS 13 Ventura and other OS updates, 10th-gen iPad, M2 iPad Pro, 3rd-gen Apple TV 4K, Apple services price hikes.#1634: New Messages features, Apple Q4 2022 results, Preview drops PostScript, iOS/iPadOS 15.7.1, Dvorak on iPhone and iPad.#1635: Adobe/Pantone quarrel, does Matter matter yet?, OneWorld 65W international charger, corral your email with SaneBox, e3 Software sponsoring TidBITS.
