New Features in 2.0

• Transitions: Support added for beautiful 2D and 3D video transitions across your clips. As you push your clips together, transitions are created automatically, making it easier than ever to create stunning screencasts.
• YouTube export: Direct export to YouTube from within ScreenFlow. When you are done editing your screen recording, simply select Publish to YouTube from the menu. You can choose to publish this to anyone, or add authorization for a controlled distribution to a selected group of people.
• Adjust the speed of your clip or freeze a single frame: Version 2.0 adds the ability to individually adjust the speed of your clips. If you need a segment to last a little longer, or want to demonstrate a time-lapse of your screen recording, you'll find the new high-quality video & audio speed adjustments a powerful addition to your toolbox. Version 2.0 also lets you freeze a single frame of your video, to adjust to the pace of the audio, for example.
• Pause Screen Recordings: If you want to take a break during a long, continuous screen recording, version 2.0 adds unlimited pausing & resuming during the recording process. Your finished screen recording will appear as a single clip on the timeline.
• Advanced Audio Edits: In a single click, detach the audio from the video in the timeline. This allows you to edit the audio separately, and even copy/paste it into another project.
• Audio Ducking: With this feature, the background music level is automatically attenuated when a voiceover is playing.
• Drag & Drop: Drag and position content from your media list directly onto the main ScreenFlow video canvas. You can also now drag & drop media (and copy & paste clips) from one open document to another.
• Document Packages: Version 2.0 now gathers all the media used in your screencast into a document package when you save. This frees you from manually managing media on your disk and makes archiving and storing your screencasts a very simple process.
• Action Curves: If you want to get finer-grain control over the look of your actions, you can now set the interpolation used for your clip's actions.
• Productivity: New keyboard shortcuts for resizing the timeline, zoom in and out, nudging clips and time overlays all make for a streamlined timeline.  More context sensitive menus, support for the multiple selection of media sources and new track-pad gestures will keep you editing faster than ever.
• Timeline Performance: This is now significantly faster, especially when dealing with large documents with many clips and actions. The rendering of thumbnail icons now has a much lower system impact.
• Export Performance: Includes improved export performance: between 5% for single pass encoding and 25% for multiple pass H.264 encoding on multi-core machines. You'll also find editing performance improved on the latest generation of Intel processors.
• Export part of the time line: With version 2.0 you can choose to only export a part of the time line and not the entire document. Another enhancement that further facilitates your screencasting workflow.
• Color Correction:  Ability to adjust saturation, brightness and contrast.
• Live Audio Scrubbing: Adds the ability to scrub the time line with the audio.
• Optimized for Mac OS X: ScreenFlow was built for Mac OS X Leopard, to make extensive use of the best of Mac OS X technologies: Core Animation, QuickLook, Spotlight, QTKit, Quartz Composer, OpenGL, Core Image, Automator, Core Data and many others. ScreenFlow also supports Apple's latest OS Snow Leopard.

New Features in 6.0

• Partial Screen Capture – Record any part of your screen. Capture just a single application window, define a region, or record the entire desktop.
• iOS Audio Monitoring – Now you can listen to your iOS devices audio WHILE you are capturing and recording it! Great for mobile games, app developers, musicians – anyone who needs to demo an app where audio is a crucial part of the operation.
• Loop Recording – Set ScreenFlow to create a rolling recording buffer so you will be able to record for hours without taking up all your hard drive space. When you stop the recording, ScreenFlow will only keep the configured number of minutes of recorded footage you told it to remember. Helpful for reporting of intermittent computer or application issues, or for use when gaming to share that big moment!
• Multi-Channel Audio Mixer – ScreenFlow now sees and records multiple audio channel inputs from USB mixers. Record up to 16 discreet audio channels from a single USB input, then mix and adjust them separately in ScreenFlow’s inspector.
• Extract Audio Channels – Now you can pull out any audio channel into it’s own track. Great for isolating audio channels or inputs inside multi-channel audio clips
• Redesigned Countdown Overlay – ScreenFlow will now tell you exactly what sources are going to be recorded while it counts down to start the recording. No more last minute guessing!
• Redesigned Waveforms – Audio waveforms are now drawn using a new implementation for better performance and more accuracy.

Improved and Streamlined Editing Improvements

• Updated and Improved User Interface – We’ve added new icons in the timeline and canvas for greater control. Now you can mute your video or audio on a track independently, use a quick access pop-up to set your project dimensions, and mute your audio monitors with a new headphone button.
• New Motion Tab for Animation Effects – Choose from three all new motion-animated effects: Spring, Gravity, and Pulse. Simply click to apply them to your clips and create professional looking animations without the hassle of selecting key frames or writing custom code.
• New Motion Curves – We’ve added exponential curve types, both in and out, for more dynamic effects and animations!
• New Video Property: Corner Matte – Now you can easily add an attractive matte to your video clips and images by rounding their corners and hard edges using a slider in the video properties tab.
• More Canvas Control: Pan and Grab – You can now hold the space-bar to click and grab the canvas to move around the view. Great for easily moving small increments or inspecting visual elements in close detail.
• Replace Clips within the Timeline – Swap clips in the timeline without changing the overall duration of a segment or the need to re-do the changes already applied to the clip.
• Ability to Set Default Curve Type – Now you can choose the curve type you use most often to be your default when adding new actions or motions to clips.
• Easier Re-Sizing in Canvas – ScreenFlow 6 now automatically locks the aspect ratio of clips, images, and text in the timeline so you can quickly resize them without squeezing or scrunching them into odd aspect ratios, or needing to hold down the Shift key. (An option in the preferences allows you to revert to how previous versions behaved if you desire).

New Export and Publish Capabilities

• Animated GIF Export – Create GIFs right from your ScreenFlow projects. It’s easy to export great looking short animations for the web, memes, tutorials or social networking!
• Publish to Telestream Cloud – Direct publishing to Telestream Cloud, our on-demand, pay-as-you-go, encoding service. Export from ScreenFlow to Telestream Cloud, then create as many different formats and versions of your video that you need! This enables you to make a single master copy, then let our online transcoder create all of your deliverables in one shot!
• ProRes 422 and 422 LT Export – We’ve added more ProRes profiles for greater control over the size and quality of your project outputs.
• Export Progress Over Dock Icon – Quickly determine how much time is left on your exports with a handy progress bar displayed on top of the ScreenFlow icon in the dock.

Version 6.0 also contains hundreds of bug fixes as well as other improvements to the efficiency of the user interface.

New Features in 7.0

• MP4 performance improvements - Easily power through large mp4 file editing. We added significant performance improvements for mp4 files that had previously been slow to process when editing and exporting.
• Text Animations - Add animated text effects to your videos, allowing for fun and/or creative polish in your videos. Tweak the default options to create completely new text animations!
• Global media library - Now you can store frequently used assets in your Global Library. Every document you open will show those same assets under the Global Library icon! Perfect for workflows that use the same intro/outro graphics for each video, or any other workflow that reuses the same assets frequently.
• Easy Auto-Export options - Our new auto export options make videos incredibly easy! Gone are the days of relying on canned presets if you are not an encoding wizard. ScreenFlow 7 lets you select between higher quality or quicker exports and automatically picks the best settings for your project. Need exacting control? We still have our manual modes too, which can be saved as custom export presets.
• Set clips to play in reverse on the timeline - Now in ScreenFlow, you can easily set clips to play in reverse.
• OLED Touch Bar support (MacBook Pro Late 2016) for Timeline Navigation - ScreenFlow 7 will show the timeline in the new TouchBar equipped macs. You can use the touchbar to adjust the visible sections of the timeline.
• macOS AutoSave functionality has been turned off - ScreenFlow has its own document recovery system and when combined with the AutoSave functionality native to macOS, conflicts could arise in specific situations. Projects could easily become corrupted when saved to remote locations such as network drives or cloud storage solutions, or when transferring files between projects. The combination of both recovery systems also could use excessive storage space in certain instances. Now that there are no longer two recovery systems in competition with each other, these potential issues no longer occur.
• Intel Quick Sync Hardware Accelerated Encoding - ScreenFlow 7 can now take advantage of hardware accelerated encoding. This is great for videos where the highest possible quality is not the main goal, and you would like the export process to have a minimal impact on system resources.
• Implement Multi-Pass x264 Encoding - Multi-pass x264 encoding can improve quality of exports when compared with single-pass. Now, ScreenFlow will use this automatically if you select a higher quality option from the new auto-export options.
• Add a Waveform Progress UI to show progress of waveform processing - When adding files containing audio, or applying certain audio filters, audio waveform rendering can take a lengthy amount of time to complete. Now, ScreenFlow 7 will keep you informed that it is performing an intensive process in the background, and when it is completed. This is particularly useful, as it makes the user aware that editing during render times may be slower until render completion.
• Add support for higher timeline frame rates - In ScreenFlow 7, you can now edit in 60 fps. The timeline shows an fps indicator, and you can easily toggle between 30 or 60 fps modes.
• User defined shortcut keys - We have added a shortcut manager in ScreenFlow 7. Users can add new shortcut keys to commands that did not previously have a shortcut assigned to it, or change existing shortcuts. You can even have different shortcut sets that can be changed on the fly!
• Calculate exported file size - In the export window, ScreenFlow will now provide a estimated filesize. Please keep in mind, this is just an estimation. The resulting file sizes will vary. In our testing, it has been consistently close in its estimation.
• Custom interfaces for Apple Audio Units (AU) - Apple audio units that have a UI can now have the UI launched from within ScreenFlow.
• Made the Timeline and Inspector panels collapsible - Preview mode has been removed, and we have added a shortcut key to collapse the timeline and inspector.
• Kern - Tighten/Loosen UI buttons - There are now buttons in the text inspector for tightening and loosening the kerning values.
• Add media to Timeline in sequence - When adding multiple assets to the timeline, ScreenFlow will now place them in sequential order, rather than in separate tracks.
• Panning and Gain/Volume controls for audio input devices - In the recording window, there are now Panning and Gain/Volume controls for audio devices. This is great for dialing in more complex, multi-channel workflows before the recording begins, saving time by removing the need to apply repetitious edits to each channel after each recording.
• Publish to Imgur - ScreenFlow 7 will allow you to quickly and easily publish directly to Imgur, perfect for gif files. No need to export, visit the upload page, find your file, and submit. Just select Imgur from the ScreenFlow publish menu!
• Publish to Box.com - ScreenFlow 7 enables users to quickly and easily publish videos directly to their box.com account, without having to visit box.com to upload your exports.
• Spanish Language Version - ScreenFlow 7.0 now supports spanish system localization.
• Ability to solo multiple audio channels at a time using the Command key ( ⌘) - Similar to professional DAW software, ScreenFlow 7 will allow you to use the audio solo function, on more than a single source at a time.
• Dark UI Theme - We have added a new “Dark” theme, and set it to default to help make your content stand out for an improved editing experience. Users can switch back to the previous “Light” theme within ScreenFlow preferences.
• Enable Letterbox by default on exports - Now, letterboxing will be applied by default if the export aspect ratio differs from the canvas aspect ratio.
• When adding a new text clip, it should automatically focus it for editing - ScreenFlow 7 will now automatically jump to the added clip.
• Support trackpad two finger gesture for media rotation on canvas - You can now rotate media assets using the relevant two-finger gesture on your apple touchpad.
• Shortcuts: Allow user to Import/Export Shortcut Key Sets - You can now Import & Export shortcut key sets, perfect for multi-user machines, to maintain multiple workflows, or just being able to backup your custom shortcut key settings.
• Record retina-class cursor - ScreenFlow will now record high-resolution cursors for improved quality.
• Added a configurable keyboard shortcuts for - hiding desktop icons, select "All Clips after Current Clip", select all clips under scrubber (S), Show Quick Media Library, and Partial Screen Recording.

New Features in 9.0

• Simultaneous Multi-screen Recording – Record multiple screens simultaneously!
• Ever wish you just had more screen real estate for your recordings, or the ability to reference another application in your screen casts without covering up content? Well now you can!
• Easily create beautiful motion affects back and forth between multi-screen recorded content.
• Timeline Tools Palette – ScreenFlow 9 adds the Timeline Tools Palette found in other high-end professional non-linear video editors!
• Hand – scroll around the timeline by clicking and dragging with the mouse
• Zoom – click and drag to select a region to zoom in on. If the mouse is clicked once (without drag) zoom into the timeline one "step". If 'Option' is held, the mouse cursor will change to a zoom out and when clicking the timeline will zoom out one step.
• Blade – When rolling over the timeline, a red line will follow the cursor. If the mouse is clicked, the timeline will have all clips split at that mouse position
• Track Select - Cursor will change to a right facing arrow in this mode. When clicking on the timeline in this mode, clips will be selected forward of the current selection (from left to right). This is on a track by track basis.
• Clip Editor – ScreenFlow 9 adds a new clip editing feature that allows the user to select an individual clip and view it on the left-hand side of the main document user interface.
• From there, the user can preview the video & audio, and perform quick edits to the clip, adding the resulting clip directly to the timeline.
• New Click Effects
• New radar effect, sizing
• Media Proxy – Proxy, a well-known tool found in professional non-linear video editing suites is now in ScreenFlow 9
• When editing large resolution files, or long GOP files that will give any editor a run for its money, a lower resolution variant of the file called a proxy can be made to edit and operate with a more “ideal” format in relation to system resources.
• What does this mean? You can edit and playback more demanding projects on the same machine. Faster!
• UVC Capture Card Support
• Looking to ingest a high-quality camera with HDMI or SDI output into ScreenFlow as your camera source? ScreenFlow now works with UVC capture devices!
• Tested Devices:
• Elgato CamLink 4k
• AJA U-Tap HDMI
• Epiphan AV.IO SDI
• Magewell USB Captured HDMI G1
• Manual Media Management
• Many customers have asked for manual media management so that they can store, manage and re-use content more easily.
• Well, to help those power users, you now have the option during saving to save as a packaged document (includes all your media in the same document package) or, a flat document with manual media management.
• Manual media management will place all of your media files and Stock Media Library downloads in a user accessible location.
• Default Canvas Color
• Not everyone wants their project canvas color to be black.
• Now in ScreenFlow 9, you can set the default color of your canvas for all future projects within ScreenFlow preferences.
• Apple Hardened Runtime & Notarization
• ScreenFlow 9 has implemented the new Hardened Runtime and Notarization security implementations within macOS 10.15 Catalina
