Recording Media in ScreenFlow : Recording Media in ScreenFlow : Setting the Recording Timer : Record

Record
Click the red record button to display the countdown window and begin recording.
When you have finished recording, video and audio sources are combined to maintain video/audio sync. Desktop video is combined with computer audio and camera video is combined with microphone audio. You can separate these clips using the Edit > Detach Audio command.
The only limitation on the length of your recording is the amount of space available on your hard drive. ScreenFlow automatically stops recording when you have less than 100 MB free on your system disk volume.
Timed Recording
The Advanced Settings button above the Record button in the Configure Recording window switches to the Timed Recording pane.
Here you can 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.
Countdown Window
Each time you start recording, ScreenFlow displays the countdown panel, providing a delay to allow you to prepare 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.
Adding A Recording
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.
Add Additional Recording
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.
The Add Additional Recording selection reopens the New Recording window so you can add another recording.
