Publishing Your ScreenFlow Project : Batch Export

Batch Export
ScreenFlow Batch Export exports a large number of ScreenFlow documents, re-encoding each document into a different formats as needed. This eliminates the manual process of opening one document after the other and exporting each one.
To use the Batch Export feature select File > Batch Export. This opens the batch export window.
Documents can be added to the batch either by clicking the plus (+) button located in the bottom left corner of the window, or by dragging and dropping documents into the Documents pane. The documents list displays an icon, the document name, and the duration of the document.
Once all the documents have been loaded in, choose an output folder as the export destination. Select a preset from the Preset menu, then customize the preset (optionally) by clicking Customize. Click Manage to manage the arrangement of the list of presets. Select also any desired options by checking their boxes.
Once you have created a batch list of documents and have made all the necessary settings, click Begin. The documents are re-encoded according to the settings chosen and send a single folder in the Output Folder location. The default folder is the user’s Movies directory.
The export settings are the same options you’ll find in the non-batched Export dialog window. However, It is not possible to set export settings on an individual document level. The settings will be applied across the entire batch. Once the batch has been started, the options will dim and progress bars display next to the documents as they start exporting. There is also a progress bar at the bottom right of window showing the progress of all the documents in the batch.
When the batch is running, you can click the Cancel button to stop the batch. The user will be warned that they are about to stop the batch.
Note: When Close windows when quitting an application (in the Mac System General Preferences) is checked, if ScreenFlow quits with the Batch Export window open, when the application reopens, the documents will be reloaded. If the batch export window is closed, the batch will not be recalled.
