ScreenFlow 5.0 is ideal for creating high-quality software demos, IOS app demos, polished video tutorials, in-depth video training and dynamic presentations. It is the perfect screen recording solution for Educators, Online Training, App Developers, Bloggers and Marketers.
A great product gets better
I've been using the previous version for quite some time, but this release adds features I'm really excited about, such as:
- iOS Recording
- Recording Preview
- Native support for MPEG Transport Stream/AVCHD
- Set recording frame rate

IOS Recording
One of my favorite new features is IOS Recording. To record an IOS device, it must be tethered to your Mac via a Lightning cable and requires iOS 8 plus Yosemite. The YouTube video below is a capture of Angry Birds Transformers Jenga mode from an iPad Air 2.
