prof. Deja Vue :

I like Camtasia’s flexibility to decide what part of the screen you want to create video recording and to create border limits in advance (before actual recording takes place). That is not available in ScreenFlow (I have to use SF’s editing window to zoom in and do the cropping, etc.).

Thanks for your comment, Deja Vue. I can see where you are coming from here although some people might look on this as a positive feature of ScreenFlow. It means that you have a lot of flexibility when you get to the editing stage. If you start by capturing only a portion of the screen, you can’t then change your mind and zoom out during the editing stage. I like to start by capturing everything on the screen and then make decisions later about when to zoom in on particular elements. Having said this, perhaps it would be good if ScreenFlow offered an option to capture a specific part of the screen, in the same way as Camtasia for Mac, in order to accommodate different workflows.
