Tour 1—Recording With ScreenFlow

This first tour focuses on creating a high quality recording for editing and publishing. When creating a screencast, it is important to prepare your recording properly while considering how you intend to use this screencast.

We recommend that you record a few sample screencasts to familiarize yourself with ScreenFlow and its options, before creating a screencast for publication.

To record a screencast with ScreenFlow, follow these basic steps:

1.	Open your Applications folder.

2.	Drag ScreenFlow onto your dock bar.

3.	Double-click the ScreenFlow icon to launch the application.

When you launch ScreenFlow, it displays a Welcome window.
