Sometimes when editing in Screenflow I want to apply the zoom and pan setting of one clip to another. I just discovered an easy way of doing this. Setup Here is the situation. I have a clip that I have zoomed and panned (1). When the playline moves to the next clip (2) I want it to have the same zoom and pan settings. Select Edit > Copy With the zoomed and panned clip selected, select Edit > Copy as if you were going to copy the entire clip. Select 2nd Clip I now select the clip I want to apply the settings to (2). The clip I copied is just before it in the timeline (1), but doesn't have to be. Select Edit > Paste Adjustments Select Edit > Paste Adjustments and whatever attribute you want to apply from the clip you copied. In my case I am selecting Video. That will apply the zoom and pan settings to the new clip. As you can see you could do the same for Audio, Screen Recording and Callout settings.

Screenflow is a great screencasting application. But it doesn't offer much in the form of audio editing. In this post I will show you a simple method for editing your audio in GarageBand and bringing it back into Screenflow. A little background on this: I have been using this method for awhile with Screenflow and Garageband. Last week we wanted to get Trevor going creating some screencasts, so we purchased a Screenflow license and Trevor got started creating some videos. I whipped this lesson up in ScreenSteps to show him how to improve his audio. Setup: Before doing this you want to make sure that you have finished editing your video in Screenflow. This is the last thing you do before you publish your screencast. In this tutorial we are going to: Export our video Open it in GarageBand Edit the audio Bring it back into Screenflow Export Video Adjust Settings

Last week on Allison Sheridan's Nosillacast she did a review of Screenflow. In it she mentioned that she couldn't figure out why they have a "rotate video" option. We use Screenflow a lot and are one of the sponsors of the Nosillacast so I thought I would throw together a quick tutorial on why and how you would use the video rotation feature in Screenflow. Intro Video Setup Be sure to watch the video above so you know what we are trying to accomplish in this tutorial. To recreate the effect above you need to have first recorded your background video (in my case, a Keynote presentation).

Yesterday was adding the finishing touches to a marketing redesign of our screenstepslive.com site. This had been through many iterations but I felt that I finally had things the way I wanted them. ScreenSteps Live is entirely programmed in Ruby on Rails, both the web application and the marketing/sign-up area. We use Git for all of our version control.
