Alan wrote and asked how to highlight the cursor the way he can in Camtasia Studio. In ScreenFlow there are couple different ways to handle that.

Excuse the length of this video, I’ll try to keep them more brief in the future. =:)

    Very nice but why is it presented as a Flash video? ScreenFlow output is QuickTime and is usually equal or superior to Flash output. One of the things that is most impressive about the Screen Flow web site is their tutorials section. The fact that they use Screen Flow to teach about Screen Flow, including QuickTime output, illustrates how good the product is and their confidence in it.

    Why am I presenting my screencasts as Flash video? Two big reasons:

    1. Flash is ubiquitous, QuickTime is not. Yeah, believe it or not, there are some Windows people out there who don’t have QT installed and I’d like my content available to as many people as possible.

    2. Flash video files are smaller than QuickTime files. For example, the cross-dissolve video went from 8.6MB to 5.1MB — that’s a significant difference. Uses less of my bandwidth and downloads faster for the end user.

    I wish ScreenFlow would export as FLV — right now it’s a two step process for me — export as QuickTime and then throw it into VisualHub which changes it to FLV.

    PS - Just found this link: http://www.adobe.com/products/player_census/flashplayer/
    Shows QT at about 67% percent and Flash at 99%.
