Installing ScreenFlow via Telestream Web Store

ScreenFlow is available from www.telestream.net as a disk image (dmg) file, as well as from the Mac App Store. This topic is for users who have downloaded ScreenFlow from the Telestream Web site.

Note: This installation procedure does not apply to users who purchased ScreenFlow from the Mac App Store. Instead, follow their installation and licensing procedures.

When you download or open the .dmg file in Safari, Mac OS X automatically mounts the disk image and runs the installer. When you download a .dmg file using another Web browser, double-click on the .dmg file to run the ScreenFlow installer.

Note: You are prompted for an administrator name and password during installation. If you don’t have an administrative account, obtain one to continue.

The installer attempts to close applications including QuickTime, Final Cut Pro, Episode Desktop, and Pipeline Control before installation. If the installer can’t close these applications, installation will fail after about a minute.

When the installer runs, it displays the window depicted below, in Figure 2.
