The loop recording is activated by checking the Record in a loop box. The recording loop duration is set by entering hours and minutes. Click the Record button to activate. Once the recording starts, you can see the loop duration in the status menu of the ScreenFlow Helper.
You can also set your timer to stop the recording after a set number of minutes and seconds. Click the Set Timer button to apply this setting. Once the timer has been set, this button will change to Reset Timer. Click again to disable timed recording.
To skip the countdown, simply click on the countdown window and ScreenFlow begins recording immediately. By default, the countdown is set to 5 seconds. To change the countdown option, go to Preferences > General. You can set the countdown delay for up to 20 seconds.
When you have finished your recording, the clips that you have recorded are automatically opened in a new document. If you already have a document open, you are given the option of creating a new document or adding your recording to an existing document.
If you have accidentally created a new document when you intended to add the recording to an existing document, just drag or copy/paste your recording into the previous document’s canvas, timeline, or Media Library. This duplicates the recording in the other document’s project folder.
To add a recording to your document, you may simply create a new recording, in which case you receive notification (as shown above) or you may choose Add Additional Recording. This may be selected from the File menu or the Media Library.
