Creation improvementsīecoming more of a video editor does not mean that Telestream have neglected the core screen capture aspect of ScreenFlow, and there are a few welcome features to that side of the software as well. If a different clip is already present there, ScreenFlow will add the new one above it. Instead, you need to click on the ‘+’ button to add it at the timeline’s playhead’s location. From there, you can watch the footage, and set in and out points either by clicking on the relevant buttons, use the I and O keys or drag the selection handles.Ī clip can’t be dragged from that window onto the timeline which would’ve been a more organic action when you think about it.

Double-click on any clip in the Media tab to open it up a new panel to the left of the interface. Clip previewĪnother long overdue addition is the ability to preview a clip and set in and out points prior to adding it to the timeline. It also means there are multiple ways to do the same thing now: you can for instance split a clip using the T keyboard shortcut, or use the new blade tool, using the B key.Īside from the Blade tool, we have a Hand (H) to drag the timeline along, Zoom (Z) to magnify the timeline, Track Select (N) to select all clips on one particular track from the cursor’s location onwards, and finally, you can switch back to the usual selection tool with the A key. So we were very pleased to see that ScreenFlow has decided to join that party. This omission had been a bugbear for quite some time, as those handful of tools are pretty much ubiquitous in high end professional video editing software, meaning you could almost always rely on them and their accompanying keyboard shortcuts to be around, making it easy to transition between apps. That trend continues with this version as a Tools Palette has finally been added to its features list. The new video editing friendly tool palette is now available lower left of the interface (Image credit: telestream)
