ScreenFlow vs. Camtasia - The Mac Screen Capture Show Down
AppleSoldier

READ IMPORTANT!!!!!!!! Camtasia is a new and wonderful app, but does it hang with screenflow? In some ways, yes.

In others, No

For one, Camtasia it takes TWICE as long to export

I dont know why but it does

Screenflow also has the advantage of Core Animation (making this a Leopard only application), Quartz Composer and a custom 64-bit ENABLED COMPRESSION SYSTEM, ScreenFlow can capture DVD playback flawless as well as 3-D game playback Camtasia doesnt have quit the control over your size and shape of the video

It scales everything relative to each other where in screenflow i can grab an edge and extend the edge without changing the size of the other edges

In Camtasia if you pull one side it scales the top and bottom also to keep it in skew

This isnt a big deal but to me, who does 100's of screen casts, it is

Ultimately camasia captures better audio and screenflow captures smoother video

Screenflow os less choppy all around but camtasia's transitions, great audio capture, etc make it an option to hard to refuse

It can really spoof up your screencasts with the effects included, So Im torn between super smooth video capture with screenflow and really cool effects and flawless audio capture with camtasia

If your not capturing full motion video but instead are doing tutorials or how to videos than the choppy nature of camtasia well not be seen at all

And you can love it for all its glory

Its totally smooth on everything except full motion video so if all you ever do is do tutorials than camtasia is right for you

but if you record a lot of web movies or trailers, than screenflow is for you

Camtasia is better suited to doing tutorials except for high cpu use.

Screenflow is better for full motion video

Screenflow 2 is coming in Sept

and it will add lots of effects like camtasia as well as the ability to have speed changes.
