I had a old licence for Telestream Screenflow which was nice, but since I’ve upgraded my OS I have to pay for a updated version of screenflow.

I don’t need the editor in screen-flow since I own FCPX so I’m thinking the best way to go is get screenflick.
Anyone use screenflick? How well does it record in the background?
Pros? Cons?
TIA

I've only ever needed the basic functionality that comes with Quicktime, but I'd be curious to know from others what the advantages are.

Do you mean that it does not record the sound of your playing?aMUSEd wrote:I use quicktime too, only problem is it records the screen but not my playing

I don't know if this works fine on Mac OS (i only know it does on Windows), but, you could give it a try. It's free. https://obsproject.com/

Also use Quicktime basic functionality coupling with Loopback <http://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/> for audio.
Not free but it adds full audio connectivity between softwares.
Worth a look at anyway.

This is not something i generally do i.e recording performances. I use MenuBus for all my system audio-routing needs, as it is very good for managing all media audio before getting to my speakers (I have to eq my whole system to compensate for a terrible monitoring environment).aMUSEd wrote:yeah
Anyway, it will record your audio if you route your daw to Menubus. It also hosts plugins, idi etc. The only issue you might have is that the minimum latency is 265samples. Not sure how this will affect you. I have considered emailing the developer to see if he can lower this number, as he seems pretty on top of maintaining this project.

Also check Audio Units Lab via Apple Developer Tools (Additional tools for Xcode 9.3)
It hosts Audio units, and might be able to be detected by Quicktime

I couldn't this to work without recording silently.. Soundflower steals the output from Logic, redirects it all to QT where, during recording, it cannot be directed out again, that I can find. Am I missing something?sprnva wrote:Soundflower should handle the audio for free. Set it as the DAW output and Quicktime input.
iShowU HD used to do all I needed with regard to screen capture while making noises, but the version I have doesn't now seem to work on Sierra. Hmm, annoying.
If you want to save cash, OBS is probably the way to go but you'll need to spend a short time getting familiar with it and setting it up to suit your environment.
Can't make any recommendations beyond that, hope you find the right tool!

Make sure to set the correct output in QT. Also it will probably have the output volume turned all the way down by default.CinningBao wrote:I couldn't this to work without recording silently..

I checked out menuBUS as it looked like a simple way to get a limiter into the system signal chain on the laptop that I very occasionally use for DJ sets. Sadly the free version only seems to work with the built-in Apple AUs (unless it's a bug) which makes it kinda useless. Any third party AU I loaded killed the output as it didn't receive any input from menuBUS. Pity as it seemed like it might be a more solid solution than my earlier attempts with aggregate devices and AU Lab.

Quicktime and soundflower do the job.

Over the years, I've agglomerated several of these tools. Camtasia for Mac, ScreenFlow, Screenium, Screenflick, and others that I've long forgotten. Not to turn this into a review: the only ones I still have installed are ScreenFlow and Screenflick.
Screenflow because it's the classic solution and I've had it since 2012 or so, plus its update pricing always seems such a good deal compared to purchasing a new full version nowadays. (I updated in December for 24€) It's the most complete & flexible solution I know for Mac, but still fast and reliable. Records screen, web cam, iOS device, built-in, interface audio, all at the same time. Huge editing functionality, it can even load AU plugins.
Screenflick because it's the quick-n-dirty tool that works. Set an area, record, click a few checkboxes, export in decent quality, done. No bloat like audio lanes, cutting tools, transitions, effects, etc. It can also record web cam and microphone, but it's not as flexible as Screenflow. And since it doesn't have a real editor, once you've recorded all those things... whadda you do with them? Extra software required. For me, it's just a solid, honest, straight-forward screen recorder for when I need one.
Screenflick uses Soundflower, ScreenFlow uses its own audio driver, probably similar to Soundflower.
Both work absolutely reliably here on several Macs, always have.
