New in ScreenFlow 8
Stock Media Library
Gain access to an always growing library of well over 500,000 images, audio, video clips and more with ScreenFlow's new built in Stock Media Library. Browse the library and add transitions, motion backgrounds, royalty-free backing tracks and more simply by dragging them to your timeline from the Stock Media Library tab (requires annual maintenance subscription).
Track Thumbnails
Now you can see a quick and easy visual representation of your content via thumbnails displayed over the duration of a media file. Easily identify scene changes and areas of interest. No need to scrub through content to find specific moments.
Styles
If you've always wanted your camera in a certain spot with specific filters and a drop shadow regardless of the edits you make to any assets in your projects, you can now save those settings as "Styles" to easily re-use over and over. This time saver combines with templates for a semi-automated workflow.
Templates
If you make multiple videos with a similar format, ScreenFlow's new Templates feature will help save time. Simply create the template using placeholders for your camera, screen, or iOS recording, then add any other recurring media. When you finish recording, all your assets are already placed in the correct spot in the timeline and canvas. Combine with Styles applied to your placeholders for a semi-automated workflow.
Quick Narration and Voice-Over Additions
If you need to record a quick audio clip, quick narrations allow you to add narrations or voice-overs without leaving the timeline or configuring a traditional recording.
Detachable Editing Timeline
The new, detachable editing timeline allows for a more customizable editing experience and enables multi-monitor editing by separating the editing timeline and canvas on to different monitors.
Additional Timeline Frame Rates
Additional timeline frame rates of 24, 25, and 50 have been added in addition to the existing 30 and 60 options.
Export Animated PNG (APNG) Files
ScreenFlow now supports APNG export. Like GIF's, APNG's are single file moving pictures that support transparent backgrounds but allow for higher quality and smaller sizes.
Freehand Annotation
Custom shapes and lines can now be drawn directly onto the ScreenFlow canvas for highly customizable annotations.
Instagram Project and Export Presets
ScreenFlow has you covered with built-in project dimensions and export settings specific to Instagram. Instagram requires the user to copy exported video to a smartphone to publish.
Frame for Selected Monitor
When choosing your recording monitor, a red frame now indicates the current selection, no need to remember monitor model numbers.
H.265/HEVC Decoding
Previously, HEVC could only be exported in ScreenFlow 7. You can now import and edit files encoded with HEVC such as iPhone X 4K recordings.
Arrange Menu
Various new options such as alignment, scale, and distribute allow you to more quickly arrange your media within your project.
Auto-Scale Large Imports
ScreenFlow will now automatically scale imported media to fit the canvas if the dimensions of the media are larger than the canvas.
Burn-In Captions on Export
You can now burn-in captions if you need captions in a player that does not support caption tracks. Simply check the box during export.
Content-Type Badge for Items in Media Libraries
Media within your library now has a badge overlay depicting the type of media for easier identification.
Keyboard Shortcuts for "Close Gap"
Users can now set a custom keyboard shortcut for the "close gaps" function. Multi-select gaps and close with one shortcut.
Media Library Filtering System and Metadata Panel
Click the filter button in the library pane to display the new filtering system for the media libraries with a metadata display tab.
Preview Audio and Video in Libraries without Adding to Timeline
Audio and video files in libraries can now be previewed without first adding them to the timeline.
Save Frame as JPEG
Quickly export the current content as a still JPEG image.
Select which Audio Channels are Recorded with Audio Interface Devices
Users can now select specific channels to record of a multi-channel audio interface. You no longer need to record all available channels.
Support Decoding MOV PNG Files
You can now add and work with MOV PNG files in ScreenFlow.
Support for GoPro CineForm Codec
ScreenFlow now supports the GoPro CineForm codec for import and editing.
Specify Thumbnail Image for a YouTube Published Export
