Earlier today, Telestream released the latest version of ScreenFlow, the screencasting software designed for Mac. This version, 3.0, delivers OS X Lion compatibility, support for new Lion features, and new content creation and workflow tools.
According to Barbara DeHart, vice president of marketing at Telestream, "ScreenFlow 3.0 allows software developers, trainers, educators, and bloggers to quickly and efficiently capture, edit and create amazing video tutorials, promos, and training videos that enhance the learning experience and online product demonstrations."
The software now takes advantage of the OS X Lion platform, bringing support for Automatic Save, overlay scroll bars, and full screen functionality for both editing and playback.
ScreenFlow 3.0 brings some new efficiency tools, including the ability to group and ungroup clips, which makes organizing media for larger, more complex projects a lot easier. Audio improvements now allow users to instantly see the effects of volume changes in the timeline, remove background noise, and maintain smoother volume levels throughout their videos. The new release also includes an iPad preset, as well as the ability to publish video directly to Vimeo.
ScreenFlow 3.0 is available for $99. An upgrade from version 2 to version 3.0 is available for $29 and an upgrade from version 1 is available for $49. For more information, a free trial, or an online purchase, visit Telestream. ScreenFlow is also available for purchase through the Mac App Store.

Thank you. I also called the editor and left a message. I misunderstood that you guys would vett things out before telling us about it. I called up Apple again and they said they cannot help and that they've received many emails, crash reports on the same issue. JUst want MacLife readers to be aware of this.

That's good to know, sorry you & your students are having so much trouble. I'll wait to upgrade, even though they sent me a Free Update code recently. (I bought the previous as part of a Bundle, guess it qualified for the Code.) I haven't done many projects yet in Ver2, but I'd be pretty ticked if I went back to open them in Ver3 and had the issues you describe.

Not just mine, but students of mine here at University of Colorado .... Screenflow crashes when you try open earlier versions. Called APple and they say they are being inundated with emails and calls saying how the usually good screenflow absolutely sucks when it comes to opening old versions. DO your hwk next time before telling us a product rocks Adrain.

innertron, that sounds awful.
I apologize if you felt I implied the product rocked, or didnt' rock for that matter; I was trying to just report the news that a new release was available, and share what TeleStream included in version 3.0.
We often do reviews here at Mac|Life, but this was not meant to be one of them. Again, sorry for any confusion.
