Configuring Recording Options

In ScreenFlow, you don't need to define a capture region in order to record a clip of your display for your screencast. ScreenFlow records your entire computer display with an advanced algorithm that produces the highest quality recording and small file size—giving you the flexibility to make changes to your frame size in post-production.

You can set up ScreenFlow to record video and audio from various cameras and microphones, depending on your project, and you can change these settings any time you need to.

To configure your recording options, click on the ScreenFlow Helper menu ( ) and select Configure Recording to display the New Recording window. You can also select File > Add Additional Recording or select File > New. If the New Recording option is greyed out, you must first open an existing recording or create a new one. Keep in mind that Additional Recording allows you to not record the screen, whereas Configure Recording always records the screen.

Note: You can also add recording from the Media Library (see Using the Media Library).

The recording options are identical in both windows. However, the Add Additional Recording window also allows you to close ScreenFlow automatically before recording.
