ScreenFlow 2.0 almost here – Expanded Beta here NOW!
If you’ve ever been involved in the software development process, you know – it’s a bit like raising a child. If the analogy holds, then ScreenFlow 1.0 was “born” a little over 18 months ago, and now we’re getting ready to send him off to school. (The childhood years go by so fast, don’t they?) We’re almost ready to let go – but we want to spend a little more time making sure it’s absolutely ready.
As the saying goes, “It takes a village to raise a child”; and we’ve certainly taken advantage of our village for help and advice as we continue to nurture and develop ScreenFlow to get it ready for the next phase. Most important to us is that we don’t send our little ScreenFlow 2.0 into the world before it is fully ready and prepared for the challenges that await. We’ve already been arranging a few ‘play-dates’ (i.e. beta testing… OK, maybe I’ve taken this analogy too far…) to ensure it could handle real-world demands. We’re *almost* ready, but we want to expand the beta testing a little further- to be absolutely sure that ScreenFlow 2.0 will be the most stable product it can be upon launch.
SO… with that in mind, we are accepting new beta testers to be part of our expanded Beta program. All we ask of our beta testers is that they use the product as they would normally, and report any anomalies back to us. In return, our beta testers will get the ScreenFlow 2.0 upgrade for free (and – for those of you itching to get your hands on the new features of 2.0 – you get a chance to try them out before the official launch of the product.)
To apply to be part of our expanded beta program, submit a brief comment below with the reasons why you think you’d be a great beta tester!
HOST UPDATE: Thank you for the overwhelming response! As of now we have MORE than enough applicants for our expanded beta program, and we are not accepting any more at this time. But don’t fret – 2.0 is coming very soon! Stay tuned….

Hi,
I’d love to be able to beta-test the new ScreenFlow 2.0.
I’m regularly making screencasts (some for customers, and some for the public ( http://cappuccinocasts.com/ )
I really enjoy using ScreenFlow 1.5.4, but I face 3 annoying bugs, as shown here :
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/40466/tmp/screenflow-bugs.mov
I would also be glad to see one improvement, as shown here :
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/40466/tmp/screenflow-improve.mov
I’d be glad to test ScreenFlow 2.0 and report bugs, make suggestions if I can help!
Also, I can’t wait a couple of weeks (http://twitter.com/screenflow/status/4507572983) to put my hands on it! ;-)
All the best,
Thomas.

Hi, there.
We’re just about to launch four new online university level courses aimed at teachers wanting further education in ICTs, and we rely heavily on videos and lectures using screen recording software. I’ve been using ScreenFlow, but miss some of the features that you’re offering in v 2.0. I’d really not change to Camtasia, as I love your product (so do a couple of the other lecturers), and as we’re entering a period of heavy production of screencasts and lectures, a beta of 2.0 would really save the day, and get me through the waiting period. (Hopefully, as I’m recording hours and hours of screencast, exporting and publishing them in different ways and formats, my beta testing could be useful for you too :-)
Cheers,
Arne,

I use ScreenFlow on an almost daily basis. I am a music professor. I teach, among other things, music technology courses. I use ScreenFlow to demonstrate all sorts of music technology software. I’d be very excited to test the future version of ScreenFlow. In fact, our department is considering purchasing ScreenFlow to allow students to make their own tutorial videos! It would be great to test ScreenFlow 2.0 with an eye toward introducing this opportunity to our students!

Honestly, I’m not exactly sure what would make me a good beta tester. I do look at many aspects in applications, taking account design, usability, features, and more. Even though ScreenFlow 1.0 is great, I feel it is a bit lacking. Missing features that make its editing software portion not that useful. From what I here about 2.0 is that it’s much better, and I would like to see that first hand.

I’d be happy to help out.
Thanks.

I would love to get a chance to test out the new 2.0 even it’s a beta! That’s why I took part in your “Find a name challenge” (and won with my entry “Screen Genius” as a feature name, because I truly believe that Screenflow is a superior product!
Hopefully I will be lucky once again and be able to take part in the beta as well :-)

I have just built a new website with a lot of screen recordings to demo features of the software that we do marketing for in Sweden.
I’d like to start using the new features – especially being able to speed up and slow down recordings since I often record screen and sound separately – by the way something the competition does poorly.
It would be fun to use the new version too – I am so looking forward to using it.
If I would find any bugs I would try to tell you as gently as possible…

Breaking software is half the fun of using it. I produce the Dirty Words Design graphic design and Adobe InDesign videocast on an irregular schedule, and I also use ScreenFlow to produce training material in-house at my day job.
I don’t care about the free upgrade; ScreenFlow is worth the money and the upgrade pricing is already very fair. But I’d love to see the beta before I start working on my next project. ;-)

I am using it every day in order to create software tutorials for the students at our school. I am trying to teach them word processing basics which means keeping them from using handwriting fonts and weird colour combinations.
Unfortunately, the screencasts I do are menat for in-house-purposes only and they are not published on the web. I hope this doesn’t disqualify me.

I teach games development to university students at the university of Greenwich in London. I use screenflow to capture how tos for our students and it’s the best thing I have hands down! My main use however is to capture my lectures.
Screenflow has consistently captured two hours of my ramblings for every lesson I do (so about 8 hours worth a week) with no crashes or issues. Exports in about a tenth of the time that camtasia takes with much better results.
Enough of a sales pitch? :)
seriously though I’d love to test the new version under real world conditions that really push it. Thanks for giving us the chance!

I have been a user and admirer of ScreenFlow for some time now, using the application extensively in an educational context. As a lecturer in digital media and game development I rely on ScreenFlow for the development of e-learning materials.
I have used featured discussion on ScreenFlow on my blog and in my podcast, something which I hope to continue doing in the future and have always considered it to be the best solution for screencasting available.
I have a background in Computer Sciece and think could provide informative feedback on what you guys have done so far. I look forward to taking part.

Hey there Screenflow Team,
I have been involved with many beta testing of various software (eg.Mac Snapper by Kedisoft) i have reviewed and criticised many software (http://www.macmaestroblog.c.la) and i have used screenflow for around a year now and would love to have this brilliant oppurtunity to test Screenflow 2.0 . I have my own tutorials (http://www.macmaestro.c.la) that i have made entirely with screenflow and spent just under an hour making with the amazing Screenflow. I really would like to apply to become a beta tester of Screenflow 2.0 because i think after my years of testing and reviewing i could come into use for Telestream !

Hi there. If the person reading these comments is also the Twitter specialist, then you already know me! (@GavinRoskamp)
I had gotten a DM about the first beta stage and I was unfortunately at school at the time and the beta got filled up. I would epic LOVE to see what 2.0 is all about – I use ScreenFlow all the time for my YouTube show and ScreenFlow 1 is amazing as is. I can’t even start to imagine how awesome ScreenFlow 2 must be!!!
So yeah, I’ve been with you for over a year and I must say that in this past year I have raised my expectations on other screen recording softwares and none come close to ScreenFlow!
Hoping for a beta spot ;)

I work in ScreenFlow every day for production of training material for universities and news media in Europe. I use it as backup when the internet connection is lost. I have always two Keynotes: one with only a few Screenflow movies in it and one full of them. Most of the time people don’t notice that it isn’t live : )
I see great possibilities for 2.0 or later for chromakey support to make brilliant screen casts possible (like Videocue).
Screenflow and Videocue are progras that I use to seduce newspapers and other media to use the Mac. I use it to make a first impression for longer multi media courses and till now I always get a great response.
Can’t wait to see what I can do with 2.0, so I asked on Twitter how to apply. Here I am, now hook me up ;)

I’m a student and blogger who produces screencasts at random intervals, all related to projects I’m currently working on (demonstrations, tutorials, the like). I can’t say I’d be able to provide the same testing that someone who makes hundreds of videos a month would, but I can assure you that I use all the features of ScreenFlow and would definitely make an effort to uncover any issues and report them along the way. I’d also be generally interested in seeing what’s in the new release, but I’m sure that goes for everyone who’s applying!

My wife and I will be creating a large series of videos on MS Office for Windows, running in a virtual machine. ScreenFlow 1 does a great job already, but I need to convince my wife, and our client, that it’s really better to create these on a Mac, rather than in Camtasia for Windows. (I found Camtasia for Mac severely lacking in the performance dept.) But, we really want to try out the new transitions in SF 2.0, since my wife thinks the 1.0 video actions are too time-consuming and complicated. So, that’s why I’d love a crack at the beta.

I’d love to beta test. I’m a professor for a doctoral program in education at the University of San Francisco. I use ScreenFlow a lot: for example all my first-year students are learning about how to use Excel for statistics via a series of ScreenFlow tutorials. But I’ve also created tutorials on using Zotero, “looking a photographs” in combination with a Keynote document, and lots of ScreenFlow tutorials.
I’m not sure I take advantage of all the features of Screenflow, but in every screencast I export my audio, enhance, bring back in (hopefully this will be easier in 2), I use the zoom feature a lot to focus on parts of the screen, I use the text/title feature all the time, and I use chapters in over 90% of my tutorials (since they tend to be longish and more technical).
I also teach the Multimedia Learning course within our program and will be covering screencasting software with the class in 3 to 5 weeks. I would love to update them on all the new enhanced features of ScreenFlow.

Im a new Blogger who will be doing screencasts and vidcasts for my blog, and was highly reprimanded by a colleague for even considering anything other than screenflow, I kid you not he was just on the edge of rippin’ my head of cause in his opinion ‘You’re asking to many questions, just trust my judgment’ LOL it was a trip.
But after seeing him demo it and seeing some of the coolest features I was sold. The thing is Im running Snow Leopard and I want to use it on my system so I’l have to wait for 2.0. Truth be told Im over anxious so what better way to get my feet wet with ScreenFlow ahead of time than in your Beta ;)
I’ve been following your tweets and is very excited about this new version, so give me an opportunity to be as loyal as my colleague.

I purchased ScreenFlow the minute I was able to complete a technical screencast to distributed to a client. I fell in love with it, and now use ScreenFlow at least once a week to record screencasts for clients, occasional public demos of software, and to record snippets of “context” so I can tell myself where I am in a project when I need to switch for a while. ScreenFlow also came in handy for giving a talk at a users group meeting — instead of fumbling with mice and such, I had a simple demo already recorded, and I could stop and start it as needed during discussion.
I’d love to be part of the beta test team. I’m ready to help squash bugs!

I would love to beta test ScreenFlow 2.0. I have recently received the first version as a review copy and have written my review, although when I heard that 2.0 was coming out soon, I didn’t want to disappoint the readers or you, Telestream. I think that it will be more impressive to be able to have a review out on the day that ScreenFlow 2.0 comes out.
I also already beta test for about 20 other companies and developers and am often recommended by companies/developers to others.
On my site, http://YourAppleWorld.com, we review Apple products, including software and hardware for the Mac, iPhone, iPod, and any other tech product. Using ScreenFlow helps me everyday to record reviews of applications and of tutorials.

I have been using ScreenFlow for about a year on first an eMac G4 then a Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo. I am happy to say that I had lag-free video that looked as crisp as possible – even on the eMac!
I’ve used ScreenFlow for a lot of videos for my YouTube show and it is the best screen-capturing software ever created! I love ScreenFlow 1 and I can’t imagine how good ScreenFlow 2 must be!
I would already be in the beta program if it weren’t for having to go to school… >:(
I got a DM from the ScreenFlow Twitter account telling me about the first stage of the beta and then about 10 minutes before I got home it was full. Your first beta went pretty dang fast!

My test scenarios will include videos recorded using a camera which isn’t my webcam, I’ll have to incorporate videos created using iMovie (by replacing the background using a green color), and will have to record videos from programming tools, for training, so, a lot of pan, zoom, navigation effects, etc.
Well, finally and the most important, screenflow will be tested at an unique tropical warm environment, next to the beautiful and warm beaches at the northeast of Brazil. :-)

I’m a teacher and often produce screencasts for school. Would like to use screenflow for these purposes.
Greetings from Austria, Kurt

Not sure if you have received my first request. I have recently finalised my own software project http://www.meeting-efficiency.com and know how to test software. Thus I need to finalise some tutorials now. I would highly appreciate to be able to use Version 2.0 asap because I need some of the new features and I am wasting time at the moment with the current release.Howerver: it is urgent because I can’t postpone the production.

I use ScreenFlow to create Videos for Youtube and my job. The most things i teach by myself.
I’m 1st and 2nd Level Administrator, Support is my mission. I check most cool ideas as soon as possible. This is why I would be a good Beta tester.

We’ve been using screenflow internally for training. Over the next few months we are rolling out a new social hub for the Servoy community. We will be using screenflow much more actively as this site goes live.
At the core of the social hub I just mentioned is a product of our own that has been in private beta for over a year. As such, we’re well aware of how to provide useful feedback to a development team.
Having access to the the latest beta at this point would be quite beneficial from our perspective. Since we’ll be hammering it pretty hard, it is likely we’ll uncover any gotchas that still remain. Thanks for the (hopeful) beta invite. Cheers!

I would love to be a beta tester! I host a video podcast on my website and use Screenflow for all the screencasts. I love Screenflow!

hi
i use screenflow for creating (sometimes hour long) educational material, promotional videos, and for presentations
so, i use it within a fairly complex workflow, along keynote, image processing (i like pixelmator), vector graphics (AI and OmniGraffle), garageband, and more
the next think I’d love to do with screenflow, but found a bit cumbersome, is post processing of interviews we do with politicians and institution officials
I’d really like to jump into the new version and see if it is the better, and familiar, tool for that
thanks

Using screenflow both professionally and personally, I’m curious what has been done to make this very good piece of software even better. Working in webdevelopment I’m used to bughunting, have a fair idea of what might cause problems, both real bugs and user interface problems. In short: I would love to get into the beta ;)

We use ScreenFlow in all our tutorials we make. Always getting positive comments on how we use the current effects. I attribute our Youtube Success to you guys for making a program that renders so clear! I would love to do some beta testing utilizing some of the new features with ScreenFlow 2.

I love using new software (especially when it’s in beta!!) and screenflow is one of the best app every created.

I use ScreenFlow for my presentations and online training materials. I see enormous potential for expanding scope of use with the new features–namely the transitions and the ability to insert still photos. It could be a powerful means of creating slideshows on websites and making much more complex presentation slides.
As I refocus my blog from exclusively open source web apps to include Mac teaching and research tools, I am very likely to blog about ScreenFlow.

I would be a good beta tester because I user ScreenFlow regularly to make screen casts and I have in the past used competing screen capture applications.
I will be able to provide balanced and informative reports back to the mothership as it were, about what I have been doing or trying to do with ScreenFlow. There will always be anomalies with new software and good reports back about what was happening at the time of the problem is vital to catch bugs and get rid of them.
Really looking forward to seeing what the version two can do and would be happy to make suggestions as to what else I think it could do or could do better. I see that there will be transitions in version 2, that has to be good.
Thanks for considering Mac 20 Questions to be a beta tester of ScreenFlow.

I’d love to use ScreenFlow for a few things:
(1) My family is spread out across the US, and looks to me for tech support. In many cases we don’t want to deal with it on a visit because time is limited. Screen sharing helps a lot, but sometimes I just wish I had the time to show them how to get more out of their computers. ScreenFlow would allow me to produce nice, annotated, narrated screencasts demonstrating things they ought to know about – how to start taking advantage of power user features, how to set up their backups properly, etc.
(2) I’ll admit it…I get a kick out of beta programs. Sometimes the best way to report a bug is with a screencast.
(3) As a UI designer I’m always looking for new and better ways to describe design. ScreenFlow would allow me to (a) share examples of good/interesting design with others more easily, and (b) add to my arsenal of prototyping tools.

I am a ScreenFlow user who has fallen in love with your software. Its ability to create smooth-as-silk HD video is simply amazing. I must confess that I even tried Camtasia for Mac and found it to be a confusing-to-use, slow piece of software that created choppy video on my 2.8 GHz iMac!
I use ScreenFlow internally to produce teaching tools. The feature set that has been added to 2.0 will allow much more of my post-production to be kept within ScreenFlow instead of having to use iMovie or Final Cut Pro for some elements. I can’t wait to get my hands on it, and I hope you’ll allow me to do some beta testing for you. Thanks for the opportunity!

Wow! Thank you to everyone for taking the time to comment and to volunteer for our expanded beta program. We are sorting through the responses now, and will notify everyone of their status. Thank you!

I need to create a screencast of my iPhone application and am eager to try out the iPhone screencast features in ScreenFlow. I would be happy to let you know if I find any issues or anomolies in the beta software. I tried out Camtasia for Mac, but the fact that you can’t hide the cursor or replace it with something else, makes it useless for me. Thanks!

Patrick, the current version of ScreenFlow (version 1.5.x) allows iPhone developers to record their applications (using any iPhone simulator), and choose a finger as a mouse pointer as they navigate around their iPhone application. Try it out and let me know what you think!

Gosh darnit, I missed out again! :(
But I’m a super-heavy Screenflow guru and have done usability QA professionally and prolifically, so Lynn & Screenflow team, if you want my insights, you know where to reach me.
Trivia: did you know Screenflow can be used to capture hot disco action, too? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlnrSKZwZb4

Sorry Torley, but don’t worry… ScreenFlow 2.0 will be out in no time.
Love the disco, btw!

Long-time eLearning developer and eLearning development blogger. I’m currently using Camtasia but am frustrated by a few of its limitations/early release glitches. Hopefully ScreenFlow 2.0 will solve some of the issues I’m having with Camtasia. I also plan to write up a detailed review of ScreenFlow (as I did with Camtasia) upon release.
Can’t wait to see the new software…

Thanks Chris @ eQuixotic,
You shouldn’t have to wait long! Our beta testers are doing a fabulous job. Stay tuned…

I’m a new SF user, so will get the free upgrade anyway. However, I’d prefer to just learn the new version while I’m at it, rather than learning the old, and immediately switching to the new.
Plus, my background is in computer programming, and I have a unique knack for finding bugs :-)
Looking forward to seeing all the new stuff.

Heya, just saw your note about not accepting any new beta testers but hey, here goes anyway: if you’d like me to use it to create the video for my upcoming iPhone app and plug it during the announcement, I’d love to play with it (otherwise, I’m very happy with Screenflow 1 and will use that, so no worries either way!) :)

HI Aral,
The beta program is well underway, and reaching it’s end very soon. Would love to see your video for the iPhone app – anyway! You won’t be waiting long at all for ScreenFlow 2.0!

Hi,
It would love to Beta the new screen flow 2.0.
I make music video tutorials for private clients
and I’d love to test the new pause feature as well
well as the new trans features.
I can’t wait for you to send me the beta.
I’m always recommending Screen Flow to my clients, and they take my recommendations to heart :)
Thanks again for a great tool.
I can’t go a day without it!

Hello there!
I am an elementary school teacher who uses Screenflow to produce screencasts of website walkthroughs for parents and students. I also use Screenflow to capture my Parallels virtual machine for Windows. This is helpful for when I need to demo specific pieces of Windows-only software (Movie Maker, Internet Explorer, etc.). Each and everytime I use Screenflow for this it performs wonderfully. Each and every time a fellow Mac user is looking for screencasting software I point them directly to Screenflow!
I would love to try 2.0 and help test the new features for you. I am eager to help and I am very impressed with what I see here on The Screening Room!
Thank you in advance :)
