  • Fixes a rare crash which would occur if reading corrupt data.

New in Screenflick 2.7.31 Build 1497 (Feb 20, 2018)

  • Updated color handling for macOS High Sierra, thanks to an undocumented change in the operating system.
  • Exported recordings now have a guaranteed constant frame duration, so now the movies are truly "constant" frame rate, which satisfies Adobe Premiere's naive video importer.
  • Includes changes attempting to gracefully workaround or handle bugs in macOS which would cause Screenflick to crash.

New in Screenflick 2.7.30 Build 1493 (Jan 25, 2018)

  • Changes:
  • Added a new indicator when the export dimensions are too large for H.264 codec.
  • Fixed an issue where the selected area to record could be set to a zero-by-zero size when clicking between different screens.

  • Improved error messages for various issues.

New in Screenflick 2.7.29 Build 1490 (Jan 20, 2018)

  • Added a new indeterminate progress indicator for when the exported movie is being "finalized" (a process which can take a little bit of time), so that it doesn't just seem "stuck" near the end.

New in Screenflick 2.7.28 Build 1487 (Nov 21, 2017)

  • Changes:
  • In macOS 10.13, recording of the mouse cursor image is now handled differently and more accurately thanks to new additions in macOS 10.13. This allows the cursor image to be recorded at full fildelity, more efficiently, and also the scale of the cursor itself (as set in Accessibility system preferences) is recorded.
  • The mouse cursor scale can be set in the export settings allowing for an over-sized cursor. With the scale option turned off, the cursor will always appear at the normal size, except on macOS 10.13 Sierra when it will appear at the size the cursor was at the time of recording.
  • Fixes:
  • The Trimming menu item is not shown unless on Yosemite or later (where it is supported).
  • Fixes a crash when setting the Time Scale value to a blank in the export panel.
  • Several miscellaneous fixes for stability.

New in Screenflick 2.7.27 Build 1484 (Jun 8, 2017)

  • Fixes an issue where the emblem image on an export could be using the wrong dimensions.
  • Fixes issues with various export views having their audio Sample- and Bit-Rate popups not being shown and handled correctly all the time.
  • The Time Scale text field in the export views is no longer partially editable behind the popup.
  • Misc stability fixes, particularly for older versions of macOS 10.6.

New in Screenflick 2.7.26 Build 1480 (May 10, 2017)

  • Fixes a crash which could occur when pressing Return quickly after starting a recording to accept the screen area selection.
  • Fixes an issue where the emblem image on an export could be using the wrong dimensions.
  • Fixes issues with various export views having their audio Sample- and Bit-Rate popups not being shown and handled correctly all the time.
  • The Time Scale text field in the export views is no longer partially editable behind the popup.

  • In the export views, there are now audio sample rate and audio bit rate options.
  • Fixes:
  • Exporting no longer will attempt to include audio when the time scaling value is outside of the range of 0.25x-4x, since macOS cannot scale audio outside of that range.

New in Screenflick 2.7.21 Build 1462 (Dec 19, 2016)

  • Fixes:
  • GIF exporting timing fix. The delay was put on the the wrong frame which made certain movies look wrong when exported.

New in Screenflick 2.7.19 Build 1450 (Oct 8, 2016)

  • Fixes:
  • Fixes an issue with running on Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
  • Works around a bug in macOS Sierra to avoid potential crashes.

New in Screenflick 2.7.18 Build 1446 (Sep 27, 2016)

  • New:
  • Added a workaround for limitations in OS X to support drawing Retina-sized cursors in Retina recordings.

New in Screenflick 2.7.16 Build 1437 (Jun 27, 2016)

  • Fixes:
  • Addresses a rare performance and stability issue introduced in version 2.7.15.

New in Screenflick 2.7.15 Build 1434 (Jun 15, 2016)

  • New:
  • Added an off-by-default option to use GPU-based rendering when Metal is available. (Mid 2012 or newer Macs running OS X 10.11 or later.) This can speed up exports and significantly reduce CPU usage. For example, on higher end hardware, exports can be 20-30% faster, and reduce overall CPU usage by 50%. On lower end hardware, exports can be as much as twice as fast with the same or less CPU usage. Results will vary depending on the recording being exported, export settings, and your Mac's hardware. To turn this feature on, see "Prefer using graphics card for rendering" in Preferences -> Other.
  • Export time has been reduced when scaling down to smaller dimensions.
  • Fixes:
  • Made a change to the exporting which enables it to recover from rare circumstances where keyboard / mouse events stopped displaying.
  • Fixes an issue on OS X 10.6

New in Screenflick 2.7.14 Build 1428 (May 10, 2016)

  • New:
  • Added an on-by-default option to do accurate color correction of recordings. This applies to OS X 10.11 El Capitan and later.
  • On OS X 10.11 and later, the time needed to export a recording with adjusted "Brightness" is reduced.
  • Fixes:
  • Made a change to the exporting which enables it to recover from rare circumstances where keyboard / mouse events stopped displaying.
  • Fixes an issue on OS X 10.6

New in Screenflick 2.7.13 Build 1424 (Apr 28, 2016)

  • Changes:
  • Added a (currently experimental) option to use the graphics card for export rendering, significantly reducing the time to export a recording in some scenarios. You can turn this on in Screenflick's preferences.
  • The preferences view's layout has changed to organize the settings better.
  • Fixes:
  • Fixes a scaling bug in the YouTube exporter, where videos wider than the dimensions setting (ex: 1400x720 scaled down to 1280x720) would have an incorrect value for the vertical height.
  • On OS X 10.11 El Capitan, the choices for how to handle existing movies are shown in the file panel when selecting a new movies folder in preferences.
  • Fixes an issue on OS X 10.6

New in Screenflick 2.7.12 Build 1422 (Apr 20, 2016)

  • Fixes:
  • Miscellaneous tweaks for stability improvements.

New in Screenflick 2.7.11 Build 1421 (Apr 14, 2016)

  • New:
  • Added new "Limit to 1080p/720p" options to the "Scale" recording setting popup. The purpose of these is to be able to automatically scale any recording area (full screen or not) down to 1080p or 720p, if the exported recordings only need to be that size or smaller as well. So instead of recording (for example) full screen 2560x1440, and only ever exporting to 1080p, you can set the recording scale limit to 1080p, and Screenflick will actually record at 1080p, saving about 45% of the effort/time/resources needed to record. This means better capture performance and smaller recording sizes.
  • Fixes:
  • Miscellaneous tweaks for stability improvements.

New in Screenflick 2.7.10 Build 1420 (Mar 29, 2016)

  • New:
  • Added the ability to adjust the audio balance between the system audio and microphone audio.
  • Added a new "action menu" button in the Export view, at the bottom right of the movie preview, replacing the previous "Trim" button. The action menu provides access to trimming, brightness, and audio balance.
  • The YouTube exporter now has the option to export at 60 fps.
  • Fixes:
  • Miscellaneous tweaks for stability improvements.

New in Screenflick 2.7.9 Build 1416 (Mar 16, 2016)

  • Fixes:
  • Miscellaneous tweaks for stability improvements.

New in Screenflick 2.7.8 Build 1415 (Mar 3, 2016)

  • New:
  • Adds "Ask a Question" and "Send Feedback" to the help menu
  • Fixes:
  • Improves video camera dimensions and frame rate configuration when recording.
  • When recording from a video camera, prevents the recording from stopping due to seemingly random video camera configuration changes.
  • Fixes an issue where trimming a recording and then trying to play it might not include the video camera in the recording's' preview.
  • Fixes an issue where trimming a recording might not work.

New in Screenflick 2.7.7 Build 1411 (Feb 23, 2016)

  • New:
  • Added the "Release Notes" window available in the "About" view.
  • Checks for exported H.264 dimensions which are too large and explains that, rather than let a confusing internal error bubble up from OS X.
  • Fixes:
  • Changing mouse/keyboard/emblem/camera options will immediately cause the preview to show those changes, even when the preview is already playing.
  • Improvements to error recovery when reading from the recording file.
  • Handles and better avoids internal OS X errors when playing the audio for a recording's preview. Previously these OS X bugs would cause Screenflick to crash.
  • Fixes the "Don't show this again" checkbox in the warning about recording a video camera but no audio.
  • Clearer error messages if there's an issue with exporting.

New in Screenflick 2.7.6 Build 1406 (Feb 12, 2016)

  • New:
  • Added a preference for "Always show audio channel mapping" which can be useful for mono-mics plugged into a single channel of a two channel audio interface device.
  • The Screenflick "global" status menu shows recording duration and size if it's not shown in the menu bar itself (as set in preferences).
  • GIF exporting is enabled in all OS X versions. (Previously 10.9+ only.)
  • Fixes:
  • Fixes an issue with transparency in GIF exporting when the recording's color strategy had less than 256 colors.
  • Better error handling and error messages if the disk runs out of space while recording.
  • Clearer error messages if there's an issue with camera recording.
  • Clearer error messages if there's an issue with legacy format audio exporting (eg "Other" in the export panel)

New in Screenflick 2.7.5 Build 1402 (Jan 24, 2016)

  • New:
  • In the Presets popup in the screen selection view (just after starting a recording) "Command-F" is shown as a keyboard shortcut for "Fullscreen". The shortcut has always worked, but now it's shown.
  • Movie info in the Export view now shows whether the selected recording has audio or not.
  • Added a quick "tour" of Screenflick for first time users, on Yosemite and later. This can also be seen by selecting "Quick Overview" from the Help menu.

  • Fixes a crash in the exporter which could occur on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and earlier.

New in Screenflick 2.7.3 Build 1388 (Oct 22, 2015)

  • Changes:
  • Bumped the quality sliders in the export panel, so that (for 1080p 30 fps) "Least" is 6 Mbps, linearly increases to "High" which is 24 mbps, and then "Best" dramatically ramps up to 50 Mbps. As before, the actual Mbps used scales depending on the video resolution and frame rate.
  • Adds crash reporting for the background exporter process.
  • Fixes:
  • Fixes non-pixel aligned cursor drawing causing a slightly blurry cursor
  • Crash reports on El Capitan aren't blocked by ATS

New in Screenflick 2.7.2 Build 1387 (Oct 9, 2015)

  • Fixed an issue which could occur on OS X 10.9 and earlier when opening the export panel.

New in Screenflick 2.7.1 Build 1385 (Sep 30, 2015)

  • Screenflick is now 64-bit on OS X Yosemite and later.
  • Added remote control capability on OS X Yosemite and later. Control Screenflick from another Mac or (soon) iOS device. See http://www.araelium.com/screenflick/remote for more information.
  • The "QuickTime" and "Flash" tabs in the movie export now use the modern H.264 encoder on OS X Yosemite.
  • Includes a new version of Soundflower, version 1.6.7 which is code-signed to support OS X El Capitan. When upgrading OS X to El Capitan, the new version of Soundflower will need to be installed.
  • Change:
  • Exporting using the legacy QuickTime Components (eg "Other" in the export panel) is supported in 64-bit versions of Screenflick by the use of helper application "QT Settings". The process should be fairly seamless. Please send feedback on any issues.
  • Fixes:
  • Fixes audio preview playback not working on 10.9 and earlier. Broken in a recent version.
  • Still working on nailing down video camera recording frame rate issues for some users.

New in Screenflick 2.6.9 Build 1371 (Sep 7, 2015)

  • New:
  • Added animated gif image file exporting.
  • Changes:
  • Re-enabled the audio preview playback change reverted in 2.6.8. Disabled the audio level preview on OS X 10.9 and later in the recording settings; Still tracking down the source of the OS X bug.
  • Fixes:
  • Fixes a problem in the mouse visualizer where clicks weren't shown if the mouse wasn't shown.

New in Screenflick 2.6.8 Build 1368 (Aug 14, 2015)

  • New:
  • Added frame rate options to the "Movie" and "ProRes" exporters.
  • Changes:
  • Optimized exporting. Significantly reduced CPU usage when the mouse, keyboard, camera, and emblem display are all turned off. This is typically the case for gamers.
  • Unfortunately reverted a change added in 2.6.x which improved the audio synchronization with the video preview inside of Screenflick on OS X Yosemite, because of a bug in OS X which is causing too many crashes for too many users.
  • Fixes:
  • Fixes a rare problem where the rendered video may have rectangular "splotches."
  • Fixes a recent issue with empty UI specifically on OS X Lion

New in Screenflick 2.6.7 Build 1361 (Jul 21, 2015)

  • New:
  • Added a preference in "Advanced" for enabling lossless audio recording. Lossless audio improves audio quality (perhaps imperceptibly), at the expense of a much larger audio file.
  • Changes:
  • If the video camera recording is being exported separately, the microphone audio track will not be included in the exported screen recording; It will only be present in the exported camera recording.
  • Added a small tweak to prevent Cmd-Delete from deleting a recording while the name of the recording is being edited. To use Cmd-Delete to delete the recording and skip the confirmation, the editing of the name must be ended first.
  • The audio compression settings in the QuickTime export panel now show more detail about the codec. (eg "AAC HE" versus just "AAC")
  • Fixes:
  • Exporting with the "QuickTime" options now works if the recording has a mono-channel audio file.
  • Fixed a bug where the audio compression settings in the QuickTime view weren't being displayed.
  • Fixed the potential for a rare bug in recording preview playback related to audio playback.
  • Changes to ensure that there's an audio microphone device selected in the popup if microphone audio is turned on.
  • Small changes to have the "Audio Extension" panel recognize that Soundflower is installed when it's placed in /Library/Extensions. (This will be necessary on El Capitan, which requires a code-signed version of Soundflower which Screenflick does not yet include.)

New in Screenflick 2.6.6 Build 1354 (Jul 7, 2015)

  • New:
  • Added a hidden preference (alwaysShowAudioDeviceChannelMapping) to show channel mapping for stereo microphones too. This is useful for users with 2-channel audio interface devices, that are being used to record from a mono microphone. This can currently only be enabled in Terminal using: "defaults write com.araeliumgroup.screenflick alwaysShowAudioDeviceChannelMapping true" and relaunching Screenflick.
  • Fixes:
  • Fixes audio compression errors during exporting using the "QuickTime" tab.
  • Also fixed a problem with trimmed movies exported with the "Other" tab.

New in Screenflick 2.6.5 Build 1350 (Jun 29, 2015)

  • Fixes:
  • If a video camera is set to record, it should now be recorded at 30 fps.

  • Small change to recording internals which may have a noteable positive effect on memory usage and performance in some scenarios.
  • Several stability fixes which prevent crashes.

New in Screenflick 2.6 Build 1335 (Apr 21, 2015)

  • New:
  • Exporting can be multiple times faster than before thanks to extensive optimization.
  • Added the ability to pick which audio channels (from a microphone with more than two channels) should be recorded.
  • The Movie and ProRes exporters let microphone and system audio be exported to separate tracks for better pro editing.
  • Change:
  • Changes default prefs to not show clicks or keypresses
  • Fixes:
  • The audio level monitor now shows the levels for only the recorded channels rather than all of them.
  • Fixed a few crashes and several small bugs.
  • Misc other tweaks.

New in Screenflick 2.5.5 Build 1322 (Jan 20, 2015)

  • Change:

  • The movie preview playback is massively faster, and (on 10.9+) has more accurately sychronized audio playback.
  • If an emblem image is applied to the exported movie, the emblem now fades out at the end of the specified time rather than disappearing instantly.
  • New recordings are now perfectly color correct when recorded on 10.8+
  • New OS X Yosemite appearance, including UI tweaks, new icons
  • Changes:
  • When running on OS X 10.9 or later, the "iOS" exporter no longer appears. This Apple-supplied exporter was intended for early generation iOS devices only and they are generally no longer useful.
  • Fixes:
  • Workaround for a common OS X bug causing a crash when using recordings of certain heights and a capture scale other than 100%. This crash only occurred on Macs with Nvidia GPUs.
  • Fixes a screen area selection bug where it could be off by one pixel from what was shown.
  • Fixes the middle mouse button (and other extra buttons) not being recorded and drawn properly.
  • Fixes a bug where exporting at 33% was using literal 33% versus the expected 1/3.

New in Screenflick 2.2.22 Build 1283 (Dec 17, 2013)

  • Fixes:
  • Fixes a problem primarily (perhaps only) affecting Retina Macs running 10.9 Mavericks. Everyone should use this version.

  • Stability fix.

New in Screenflick 2.2.21 Build 1276 (Nov 5, 2013)

  • New:
  • Improved recording performance!! Yes! Really! Screenflick now records even better. (It is especially noticeable in 60fps movies. For example, you previously may have had recordings result in 57-59 fps movies which, if recorded again, may now very well be 60 fps and appear significantly smoother.)
  • Changes:
  • The movie's frame rate is now calculated much more accurately. (Still, this doesn't account for OS X itself dropping frames since it's impossible to know when that happens.)
  • Fixes:
  • Added a fix which for a rare case causing the recorded volume to be lower than it should be.
  • Fixed the "Show when launched" preference not working.
  • Added a fix for a change in Mavericks causing the menubar to not be displayed when launched.

New in Screenflick 2.2.20 Build 1274 (Sep 25, 2013)

  • Changes:
  • Tweaked the countdown process so that the actual recording begins more quickly after the countdown ends.
  • Screenflick will now work on user accounts that have Parental Controls enabled.
  • Several small changes to avoid rare crashes.

New in Screenflick 2.2.14 Build 1261 (May 3, 2013)

  • Added a detector for an OS X bug on Retina machines which can cause all movies to be green. On detection, Screenflick alerts the user and prompts them to restart their machine to fix the problem.

New in Screenflick 2.2.13 Build 1260 (Apr 25, 2013)

  • Fixes: Fixes a bug when recording at less than 100% scale and using a cursor-following camera mode such as "Relaxed Follow".

New in Screenflick 2.2.12 Build 1259 (Apr 18, 2013)

  • New:
  • Added smart handling of the display sleeping. Screenflick now prevents automatic display sleeping when recording, and if it does end up sleeping, Screenflick will gracefully handle it (continuing the recording until it wakes up) instead of producing an error.
  • Fixes:
  • Fixed an occassional problem when stopping a recording due to an error.
  • Misc tweaks.

New in Screenflick 2.2.11 Build 1257 (Apr 10, 2013)

  • New:
  • The movie bounds window can now be shown when using a "follow" camera mode.
  • Fixes:
  • Fixed crashes that could occur when the screen resolution changed during the countdown. It's not allowed and wasn't handled properly (like it is once the recording has started).

  • Fixes:
  • Fixed a crash which could occur when changing screen resolutions.
  • A small fix to prevent a case where Pause, Resume, Pause in quick succession would cause things to go a little haywire.
  • Avoiding a crash in the case where someone opens the export sheet for a movie, then goes into Finder and either deletes or renames the movie folder.

New in Screenflick 2.2.3 Build 1229 (Aug 20, 2012)

  • Fixes:
  • Fixed a problem causing black recordings from HDMI screens (and others).
  • Fixed a dreaded crash when exporting. Finally.
  • Fixed a potential exception when the movies folder contains an invalid sfmovie file.

  • New:
  • 10.8 support for Gatekeeper, better recording, and mouse cursor hiding.
  • Support for recording Retina displays at full or half resolution.
  • Added the ability to record at a reduce scale to save CPU and disk space.
  • The movie preview now has a player bar which can be used for scrubbing through the movie.

  • Movie being recorded while Quit is now marked as valid
  • Includes a new version of Soundflower

New in Screenflick 2.1.4 Build 1173 (May 16, 2012)

  • Re-tweaked the audio recording work around for the bug in 10.7.3+.
  • Fixed two potential crashes.

New in Screenflick 2.1.3 Build 1169 (Apr 27, 2012)

  • Fixed a letterboxing bug

New in Screenflick 2.1.2 Build 1165 (Apr 16, 2012)

  • Work around of an OS bug in 10.6.

New in Screenflick 2.1.1 Build 1163 (Apr 13, 2012)

  • Stability improvements.

New in Screenflick 2.1 Build 1160 (Apr 6, 2012)

  • New:
  • Exporting to non-QuickTime .mov formats is now much faster and higher quality.
  • Exported movies are now letterboxed as needed, so creating HD aspect exports of SD aspect movies works properly.
  • Now uses an "Export Queue." At most two movies at a time will export, preventing excessive memory usage, improving stability, and improving export performance when stacking up many movies to export at the same time.
  • Keyboard event visualization is much nicer looking, particularly for the one-at-a-time mode.
  • Changing Mouse, Keyboard, and Emblem options now affects the movie preview live.
  • Supports recording from HiDPI (Retina) displays.
  • Added a new Keyboard "Display Mode" option to make it easier to turn off.
  • Added a button to helpfully reset the Movies folder location to the default.
  • Changes:
  • Significant memory savings during recordings which on slower machines with little free memory can have a big effect on performance.
  • Dramatic CPU savings when recording smaller-than-fullscreen areas of the screen in 10.7 (i.e. 3x less or more)
  • Some reduced CPU usage and improved performance during recording overall.
  • Improved audio recording which should prevent dropped audio for the few users which experience it in some circumstances.
  • Small CPU savings in movie preview playback.
  • Small visual tweaks to the movie info in the Movies view.
  • Added a short tooltip to explain Show Mouse Cursor is disabled on 10.7 recordings.
  • Added retina icons pretty much everywhere.
  • Fixes:
  • More accurate prevention of "runaway recordings." On slow machines with little memory, the virtual memory paging would dramatically slow down hard drive write speed which lead to runaway memory usage and eventual crash. 2.0 was designed to prevent this, but the test was inaccurate. This problem should no longer ever occur.
  • Fixed a rare crash in audio exporting when a certain error occurred.
  • Fixed a bug where you could try to export a movie already being exported, or delete a movie while it was being exported. The former crashed when showing the error message, the latter just would explode.
  • Fixed many little interface hiccups in the Movies export view such as drawing the progress bar incorrectly, or the movie list row height not changing appropriately.
  • When exporting to a custom format, when opening the options dialog for components, the current export video size is properly displayed in the fields. For example with MPEG4 it wasn't always right.
  • Fixed a crash (only one occurrence of it so far) when flattening a movie failed.
  • Fix for an exception when there is no keyboard shortcut for Activate/Stop Recording.
  • Fixed the Preferences tab view opening to the wrong tab initially.
  • Tweaked the countdown fade timing and fixed an arm rotation bug.
  • Fixed a few silly typos.
  • Plugged a few minor memory leaks.

  • Small tweaks for stability, performance
  • Added a friendly warning which notifies Lion users if they have an old version of 3ivx (third-party QT export component) installed, that it will cause crashes.
  • Fixes:
  • Fix for event display when recording secondary displays with certain arrangements
  • Fix in keystroke display for Option + Character. Now shows ⌥P instead of ⌥π
  • Fixed small memory leaks

New in Screenflick 2.0 Preview 1 Build 1047 (May 10, 2011)

  • Customizable keyboard and mouse options after the movie has already been recorded
  • Support for exporting to other movie formats such as MPEG, Flash, and even Windows Media (with appropriate QuickTime plugin)
  • Pausing and resuming a recording in-progress
  • Three new "camera" modes for following your mouse cursor with a smaller-than-your-screen recording area. Like before, you can choose to keep the mouse cursor centered in the movie, or you can choose to lazily pan only when the mouse moves out of the movie boundaries, or you can also choose one of two modes to smoothly follow the mouse cursor.
  • Multi-pass QuickTime exporting
  • Time-lapsed exports
  • Export presets for video/audio quality, and mouse/keyboard event visualization
  • Pick which connected display to record, instead of just the main display.
  • Watermarking your own image onto the exported movie

New in Screenflick 1.6.15 Build 506 (Jul 3, 2010)

  • New:
  • The keyboard event viewer in saved movies now has a configurable width.
  • The mouse click viewer now has a configurable radius. The click animation also changed slightly
  • Fixes:
  • Better handling of the movies folder set in preferences not existing. Screenflick no longer hangs when you try to move from a folder that no longer exists.

New in Screenflick 1.6.14 Build 504 (May 13, 2010)

  • New:
  • Screenflick allows you to set the system's audio output device to the Screenflick Audio Device or Soundflower before a recording starts, to allow you to then launch an application before starting a recording. Some applications do not properly observe the system audio device changing which causes Screenflick to simply record silence. By changing the device beforehand, then launching the application, then starting a Screenflick recording, that problem can be worked around more easily than launching the application after a recording has started.
  • There is now a new Audio Extension panel (available where the Uninstall Extension… button used to be in the Audio settings) which lets you manage which version of the audio extensions is installed.
  • Fixes:
  • Screenflick behaves better when an old version of Soundflower is installed.
  • Screenflick will no longer do play-through if the play-to device is the same as the record-from device (causing echoes). It will instead ask which device to play the sound over.
  • Screenflick will no longer cause a crash if changing the system sound device fails.
  • Added recovery to compression for some corrupted movies.

New in Screenflick 1.6.13 Build 499 (May 5, 2010)

  • New:
  • The movie preview (finally) plays audio.
  • Better error reporting for failing to start a recording
  • When moving the movies folder location, there's a checkbox for whether to move existing files, and when you do move them, it has a very nice progress sheet.
  • Changes:
  • Replaced ScreenflickAudio.kext with Soundflower for 64-bit kernel compatibility
  • Using "Optimize For: Recording Speed" in preferences with the slider level turned up is more stable (no longer produces rare crashes in odd situations) and produces much better looking results.
  • Fixes:
  • Avoiding a potential bug when editing movie names
  • Reduced chances of false errors when installing/uninstalling kext

New in Screenflick 1.6.12 Build 450 (Jul 29, 2009)

  • Fixed a bug which could lead to funny streaking in movies and crashes at the end of recording. This would only occur if using Optimize For: Recording Speed, with Lossless compression chosen. Even then it was most likely only limited to PPC machines with ATI GPUs.

New in Screenflick 1.6.11 Build 431 (May 20, 2009)

  • Fixed a problem where there global Screenflick menu would still stay "Start Recording" when it should have said "Stop Recording".

New in Screenflick 1.6.10 Build 427 (Apr 28, 2009)

  • Fixed a bug which would cause the main Screenflick window to popup when a recording was started using the global menu.

New in Screenflick 1.6.9 Build 425 (Feb 18, 2009)

  • Fixed a problem where some audio codecs would export silent audio.

New in Screenflick 1.6.5 Build 410 (Jan 27, 2009)

  • [Fix] Works around a QuickTime bug which killed of system audio recording compatability with PPC machines running 10.4 since 1.6.2.

New in Screenflick 1.6.4 Build 409 (Dec 30, 2008)

  • [Fix] Eliminates an incompatibility, introduced in 1.6.3, for recording System Audio on PPC Macs running Mac OS X 10.4.

New in Screenflick 1.6.3 Build 398 (Dec 15, 2008)

  • New: There's now a preference setting for opening movies after they are exported.
  • Fix: No longer requires to press Return or switch fields if you change the Follow Cursor recording size and click the Record button.
  • Fix: Fixed a minor GUI bug which would leave two selections when selecting the Preferences menu item while viewing a previous recorded movie.

New in Screenflick 1.6.2 Build 352 (Jul 29, 2008)

  • New Screenflick can now record "captured" displays. Keynote, slideshows, and video games for example will "capture" the screen, which previously would prevent Screenflick from recording.
  • New To fit the screen selection to the boundaries of a window, Option-Click on the window when the screen selection view is displayed.
  • Change The screen selection window now remembers its window position.
  • Fixed a bug which sometimes would cause movies to not contain sound when multiple movies were exported simultaneously.
  • Worked around a QuickTime bug related to file names.
  • Fixed a stupidly obvious GUI bug outlining the text fields in the screen selection window.

New in Screenflick 1.6.1 Build 351 (Jun 9, 2008)

  • New: Recorded movies in the sidebar can be renamed.
  • New: The keyboard shortcut code has been completely rewritten from scratch to be much more flexible in what is shown.
  • New: Keyboard shortcut viewer now has option to show one or multiple events
  • New: The compression pane's movie preview can now play movies that are recorded with Screenflick 1.6.
  • New: Added a shortcut to toggle the camera mode between fixed and follow.
  • New: Compression now makes "Fast Start" movies by default. This means when you start to download the movie in a web browser, it can start playing the movie while it's still downloading.
  • New: Added preference to optionally show window at startup, for login items.
  • New: Added a little background process (affectionately named audiobuddy) to restore the system audio output device if Screenflick crashes or is force quit. The system audio seemingly being broken and going silent when Screenflick crashed has been very confusing to some users, and this cures that.
  • New: Added a keyboard shortcut for deleting the selected movie. Delete will bring up the confirmation sheet, and Cmd-Delete will delete immediately.
  • New: This version is able to handle movies recorded with 1.0 and later that are moved between Intel and PPC machines.
  • New: There is a new video data file format which should be better at being forward compatible.
  • Optimization: Intel machines now record using the native video format which bumps raw frame grabbing speed.
  • Optimization: Writing video data to the hard drive when recording is now done in a semi-asynchronous fashion. Combined improvements can be as great as 20%.
  • Optimization: Reduced the memory footprint.
  • Optimization: There has been a lot of general code cleanup and tweaks, affecting all parts of the program.
  • Fix: Reorganized some steps to work around a bug in QuickTime which prevents errors from being propagated.
  • Fix: Reduced useless wait time in preparing to record system audio.
  • Fix: Added extra error checking in audio recording.
  • Fix: Fixed some inconsistencies with the video codec settings when selecting a different movie, or click on the "Choose" button.
  • Fix: The display link now has a path to stop itself instead of being stopped in stopRecording:. This fixes the lock up. (This made its way into 1.5.1)
  • Fix: Fixed a bug with single-pixel-wide/high movies causing a crash.
  • Fix: Fixed record selection aspect ratio popup bug.
  • Fix: Fixed a bug where the video dimensions popup in the compression pane would not see that 100% was re-selected.
  • Fix: Fixed progress wheel not stopping if changed movies while compressing.
  • Fix: Fixed bug that would cause an exception when the last captured movie was deleted.
  • Fix: When compressing, the number of frames remaining is determined by the total number of frames minus the number of frames that have been compressed, rather than the number of frames that have been scheduled to be compressed. Theoretically this, with the added while loop into the compression thread will keep the compression session from being released before all compression is done.
  • Fix: Trying to tidy up any loose ends with stopping a recording writing bad data to the file
  • Fix: Found and fixed a bug new to 1.6 which would cause a crash when exporting some movies.
  • Fix: Fixed a crash which would occur when stopping a recording using the global status menu item. This is the last known crash in Screenflick.
  • Fix: Includes a fix from 1.5.3 which resolves a problem with system audio being silence when saving a movie.
  • Change: When camera is fixed, no longer dims the entire screen except the selection view. May add this back in using a separate window, but the old way made the screen flash when toggle camera modes.
  • Change: Keyboard and Mouse settings have been separated.
  • Change: The "Max capture rate" popup's values are determined by display configuration.
  • Change: Some settings and preferences have been renamed.
  • Note: We definitely will be adding a smooth cursor follow mode. It's a popular request, and regrettably we didn't get it in this version as we planned, but we do have a working prototype, so it's only a matter of finalizing the implementation and integration.
  • Workaround: Added a check to see if system audio is actually recording when it should. If not, it cancels the recording and displays an error message. A small minority of users are still having trouble with recording system audio that we've been unable to track down. This check will at least warn them ahead of time that it's not working.

New in Screenflick 1.6 Build 340 (May 22, 2008)

  • New: Refined interface: Added a giant Record/Compress toggle switch at the top left of the window.
  • New: Recorded movies in the sidebar can be renamed.
  • New: The keyboard shortcut code has been completely rewritten from scratch to be much more flexible in what is shown.
  • New: Keyboard shortcut viewer now has option to show one or multiple events

New in Screenflick 1.5.3 (Apr 29, 2008)

  • When recording both system audio and microphone audio, there was a rare bug that would effectively silence all audio in exported movies. This has been joyfully fixed.

New in Screenflick 1.5.2 (Apr 9, 2008)

  • Fix: Corrected a permissions issue preventing some users from registering Screenflick for all users on the computer.

New in Screenflick 1.5.1 (Mar 17, 2008)

  • While another deliciously beefy update is just around the corner, savor this delightful fix: [Fix] Corrected a problem which would cause Screenflick to �lock up� or �freeze� when stopping a recording for some users.
