ScreenFlow 10.5
Telestream has issued ScreenFlow 10.5 with new screen recording capabilities, numerous bug fixes, and a change in system requirements. In its first update since October 2023, the screencast recording and video-editing app now enables you to exclude ScreenFlow and specific applications from recordings, adds support for recording screen regions, and enables looped and timed recordings. The Recording monitor displays the desktop preview from the recorder, audio levels from microphones, and audio levels received from the recorder. The release also fixes a bug that caused malformed timecode separators in SRT files, ensures that recording works when Continuity Camera is selected, resolves an issue that prevented recording the first few seconds of audio from AirPods, and shows a warning when you save or open a ScreenFlow document in Cloud storage. ScreenFlow 10.5 now requires a minimum of macOS 14 Sonoma. ($169 new, upgrade pricing available, 89.3 MB, release notes, macOS 14+)
Still the best of its class. I love editing on it, I’m a long term Final Cut user but aspects of editing on Screenflow are just so pleasurable. I’ve owned and updated since v.1.
The one thing they have which irritates is a single machine license, so to run on my laptop requires me de-activating on my iMac and then activating on my laptop. I don’t require two licenses or work more than on one machine, it’s annoying to have to do this and be online in order to do it.
I, too, am a serious user of Final Cut Pro, yet find myself launching ScreenFlow for quick edits. It’s so simple and intuitive.
ScreenFlow 10.5’s banner feature, imho: option-drag a segment/clip to duplicate it in the timeline. Sincere thanks, Telestream!
