This download version of ScreenFlow 5 for Mac from Telestream lets your record whatever is happening on your entire computer desktop as well as the feed from your iSight camera, computer audio, and microphone audio all at the same time. Finished recordings can then be editing within the ScreenFlow flow software and exported in a variety for format - from YouTube to iPhone.
New features for version 5 include the ability to record the screen of an iOS 8 device, Recording Preview so you can see what you are recording, and support MPEG-TS and AVCHD video. Refinements to the user interface include Snapback Actions allowing you to quickly revert to an earlier video state, Action Templates to store frequently used actions, in-application access to the iPhone and iTunes libraries, and "touch callouts" that mimic finger gestures to help direct attention.
