ScreenFlow

WOW! That's all I can say for ScreenFlow. Although the product is $99.00 every penny spent is worth it. Everyone who uses a Mac and likes to help other Mac users should investigate the possibility of using this program. One can download a trial version in order to try it out.

What does it do? Well, for starters, simply recording EVERYTHING on your screen to show your Mom how to add a new email address to Address Book, or even simply record yourself with your Eyesight camera telling how to use iCal to organize your life.

Here are some features I found useful:
  1. Screen recording.
  2. Video recording.
  3. Audio recording.
One can record any of the above simultaneously or individually and then combine the result.  The possibilities are endless.  For example, I have many Deaf friends and have found that most video tutorials contain audio commentary.  What I have been able to do with ScreenFlow is record the screen actions and then overlay myself signing the instructions using ASL (American Sign Language).

Attached is a small sample of what can be done with ScreenFlow.

Check it out.  I think you'll love it!



Try it for yourself.  Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements.
Cheers!

Sure do! Simply go to Finder Preferences and on the General tab uncheck the box that shows hard disk on desktop.
