Recording Clips Generally

To record a clip without deciding which project to add it to first, click on the ScreenFlow Helper menu and select Record, or select File > New > New Recording and click the red Record button. Depending on your preferences, the countdown window displays, and then ScreenFlow begins recording. During recording, the camera icon of the ScreenFlow Helper menu displays a black dot.

When you stop recording, ScreenFlow displays a Recording Complete window (Figure 20) so that you can create a new document with our recording, or add your recording to any open document.

To verify your settings first, click on the ScreenFlow Helper menu and select Configure Recording. When you’re ready, click the Record button. Depending on your preferences, the countdown window displays, and then ScreenFlow begins recording.

When you stop recording, ScreenFlow displays the Recording Complete window, as shown above, so that you can add your recording to an open project, start a new one, or discard your recording.
