Alternatively, you can set the opacity of the entire clip to zero and then use video actions to bring the video up to 100%. This way, you can use “curve types” to smoothen the effect.

I use ScreenFlow to create educational screencasts for Mac users.
Here is one of the more popular lessons for iMovie ’09 and it’s beat markers feature.
Many many more Mac tutorial videos are available at http://www.themacu.com

We do video tutorials for the scrapbookers out there. The only thing not made in ScreenFlow was the music. Just love this program. Many viewers comment on how clear it is and how they love the spotlight mouse effect.

I’ve been experimenting on ways and means to visually talk about the iPhone and iPod touch. A weak point is illustrating the cursor. Since there isn’t a visible cursor on screen, I expect to have to animate this in post.

I sell downloadable logic and critical thinking video tutorials on Logic-Fu.com. All the tutorials are made with ScreenFlow. Here’s a video (made with ScreenFlow) that walks visitors through the purchase and download process, and describes how to use the downloaded product.

We just started using Screenflow to record short demonstrations of our Atomsphere Integration Platform. Showing people how an integration between two pieces of software works is a lot easier than explaining it. This video uses a bit of Flash, for the intro piece, but everything else, including the editing, was done in ScreenFlow. The new ducking feature and ability to share recordings between projects increased our time to production dramatically with the 2.0 product.
We host the video on our site – here’s the link:

Created 8 similar videos for my client. I used keynote and screenflow to create many flash-like movements in the series. I love angling and distorting the screens for more interesting close-up shots.
I wrote the script in keynote while building the actions. Then I recorded the entire script in garageband and exported the audio file. Then I recorded the keynote actions using screenflow (no audio) without concern for time spacing because when I started the screenflow project I simply imported the audio file and started matching the image movements to my audio track using freeze frame, clip time adjustments, and cutting/pasting.
Both music tracks in this audio were also made in garageband by combining a few loops.
I don,t think I have ever enjoyed working on video projects as much as I have now with screenflow. (I have prob made about 200 on my PC before I added a mac recently. Needless to say, I am very happy with my mac (and screenflow). So thanks for a great product.

Ok…im sure i wont win any awards…but I did create this video on my home page. I especially like that i figured out by default that a title page would be good and an “outro” would be good too as I was trying to fudge youtube a bit to buy me more time before all their ads come up.
I do realize the audio isnt the best…need to learn that.
By the way…I would love to see Telestream come up with some kind of hosting solution using S3 or some other option. I know the camtasia folks have that which i do use when using Jing (hint..another idea)…
Currently i did move away from youtube to eliminate linkleaks….and went with the WordPress video service now called videopress…which i must say is pretty robust for 50bucks a year.
Anyways…keep up the good work and I will keep up learning how to be rock stars like all the folks out there.

Thanks @Robb for the submission. I like the text treatment of you did in the intro. (With word “nation” looking like it’s being peeled from the page). Did you do that in ScreenFlow?
Anyway, thanks again, and keep up the good work.

I work for a DOE National Laboratory, and we create software to allow information analysts to sort through large amounts of text information without having to read it all. It’s a pretty complex tool, and some analysts don’t have a lot of time to go to training classes, so I’ve been creating a series of short, task-focused videos for the tool.
Everything except the company logo is done in ScreenFlow 2, recording Parallels running Windows XP. I record audio live using a Zoom H2 mic via USB connection. My favorite keystroke is apple-delete – the ripple delete. I use it extensively to get rid of my ‘uhhs’ and other pauses. I also enlarge the cursor to 150%, turn on the click indicator, and add presence to my audio.
The videos have been well-received by the audience and I look forward to making many more in ScreenFlow.

ScreenFlow is often used for screencasting (focus is on applications being used) or Slidecasting (focus is on PowerPoint or Keynote slide show presentation). But there is more.
Other kinds of presentation software is also fair game. Here’s an example :
http://podcasting.gcsu.edu/4DCGI/Podcasting/GCSU/Episodes/2652/9084.mov
This was done with “Timeline 3D,” from Bee Docs (http://www.beedocs.com/index.php), an application that cleverly enables chronological presentation with far more detail than can be achieved wit a traditional 2D timeline.

Okay gang, I see posting here has dwindled, but I for one love to see how others have used their videos, hence I am adding two here that I hope will incent others to post some as well. I am also open to any suggestions or questions about these productions.
Ok this is a sales video I did for an article rewriting project. The video was quite long and I spent waaaaay more time on it than I normally do, but it was for a first-time client and I wanted to do well with it, because it involved sales copy, which was new for me.
This other video was also made for a new client and was just as challenging because it is for a teacher’s resource, that was really outside of my world in terms of what they wanted to accomplish (ie NO selling). In addition, I the assignment was to improve an existing video which was basically a power point slide show with poor quality audio. So I had to rewrite based upon what I thought might be a better flow to the video and tour of the product, while editing out some of what I thought was either not useful, or could be better explained with visuals. Anyway, here is my first institutional video production:
I am getting to the point now, where I think I must learn some After Effects so that I can make some of the images in such videos even more interesting. Either that, or I hope that screenflow updates some of the text features in the software so as to quickly create more interesting text effects.
[Reply]
November 10th, 2010 at: 6:25 am
I use ScreenFlow daily and really enjoy it. I enjoy video production, but like most people I don’t have all of the After Effects skills down (yet!), so for me ScreenFlow is a great choice. These videos were created in ScreenFlow and Keynote (for animation). One of the ways I use ScreenFlow is to create a quality movie file of a Keynote presentation. Those of you who use iWork know that Keynote has tons of bugs that make it impossible to export a decent movie file. So what I do is just start a recording in ScreenFlow and play the slideshow. Then I compile screen recordings and animated parts from my presentations into what I like to think of as a more interesting tutorial or product overview.

Hi Lynn,
I have been using ScreenFlow since May 2008 to create video tutorials for my website, RapidWeaver Classroom. These tutorials cover the RapidWeaver website design software, and I currently offer over 300 individual screencasts through the website. I wanted an all-in-one solution for recording, editing and exporting my screencasts, and I fell in love with ScreenFlow the first time I used it. When producing my tutorials, I capture the audio and my Desktop live at the same time. This was a decision I made early on, as it provides my viewers with a genuine feel, as if they were literally sitting in a room with me as I train them to use the software. It also allows me to use mistakes I make as teachable moments. Of course if I make a major mistake then ScreenFlow makes it easy to edit out that portion! :)
I’ve included a screencast below as an example of what I do. Most of my tutorials are 5-15 minutes in length, and cover very specific topics.

Doing a daily vlog is fun and easy when I’m using ScreenFlow as my editing software because I’m able to import my video clips, music and upload it to YouTube.com from within the application.

I absolutely love Screenflow! I am a teacher and use it to create video tutorials for my students. Here is one I made that teaches you how to create a frame by frame animation in Flash. Everything was done in Screenflow, except for the first part, which was an animation done in Flash.
I can’t wait for Screenflow 3 to come out. I’m looking forward to being able to use the new freehand callouts, video annotations, and audio quality control features. It would really make my workflow much faster, since I won’t have to use separate applications to create shapes, outlines, and to fix the audio… I can just do them directly on Screenflow!

This is the first of ten video tutorials I did for Roxio’s Toast 11. The animation with the toaster was created by taking the icon (drawn in Adobe Illustrator), splitting it up into layers, and compiling it in Adobe After Effects. The orange callouts were drawn in Adobe Illustrator, animated them using After Effects, and exported them with in RGB + Alpha to get the transparency. Then I took all of that and pieced it together in Screenflow!
