#SCREENFLOW 5 MAC OS X#

For example, you might want to move the video captured by your webcam to the top-right corner and make it smaller, place your Mac’s screen capture on the left side of the frame, and scale the iPad’s video so it takes up most of the frame’s right side and slightly overlaps your Mac’s screen. Select a video track and you can move and resize its contents in ScreenFlow’s preview window. Most sources are added as separate tracks. For example, you could choose to capture your iPad, your Mac’s display, narration from a connected microphone, the audio your Mac plays, and video from your Mac’s FaceTime camera or compatible webcam. You’re welcome to combine multiple input sources. When running Yosemite on your Mac you can now capture video from a compatible iOS device. You’ll operate it as you normally would, interacting with the device’s screen. You won’t see a preview of your device on your Mac’s screen, however.

As it captures the device’s video, ScreenFlow automatically grabs any audio it plays as well. Now, when you attach a recent model iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad to your Yosemite-running Mac via a Lightning cable, that device becomes a capture source, right along with your Mac’s screen and compatible cameras. (In the past, you’d accomplish this via an app that managed the job through AirPlay, which, while workable, didn’t produce video as crisp as the new method.) Telestream has taken advantage of this feature and rolled it into ScreenFlow 5.

With iOS 8 and Mac OS X Yosemite, Apple introduced the ability toĬapture video and audio from a connected Lightning-bearing iOS device. With that under your belt, let’s examine its new features.
