When recording the screen of our Mac, the fastest and easiest solution that we can currently find is Quicktime, as long as we do not have the need to edit the video later. As a sporadic resource it is more than enough, but if it has become commonplace, perhaps to make tutorials and post them on YouTube or record our favorite games, in the market we can find other applications that allow us to perform all these functions together without having to change applications to perform different tasks. ScreenFlow is one of the best we can find on the market today.
Screen Flow 7 from telestream on Vimeo.
ScreenFlow not only allows us to record the screen of our Mac, but also allows us to edit any video to make our compositions, being a somewhat limited alternative to Final Cut, but perfectly valid. The guys from Telestream have just updated the application, reaching version 7 and including a large number of new features, many of them demanded for a long time by users, such as the dark or night mode, which allows us to work practically in the dark with the application without our eyes being affected.
Another novelty is found in the support for Intel Quick Sync, a system that allows us to encode our videos taking advantage of the hardware acceleration of the Intel Core processors. Customizable keys have also been added, to rperform functions quickly and easily, as if they were keyboard shortcuts. The editing of the texts has also been considerably improved in this new version as well as the library that adds a large number of elements to add, in addition to improving the operation of the projects that we already have archived, showing a similar operation to Final Cut .
ScreenFlow 7 is available through the Telestren website for $ 129, 30 dollars more than the previous version and it can be tried for free or purchased through the link below.
