Just to throw out another, we use Snapz Pro at work, I like the interface, it's very fast to set up, and offers multiple codec options. Pretty cheap too I think.

I think ScreenFlow is by far the best screen capture app on the mac.  It's very stable and has really cool features that give you a lot of flexibility after recording since it records the UI as separate objects as opposed to one big movie file.

Cheers,

Lloyd

Hi Bruce,

I am also using Camtasia and both Mac and Win versions work well for my tutorials.

In general, it saves a lot of time if you can do recording and editing in the same application:

I record a bit and if I did some mistakes, I can edit it before recording the next bit. When I first record everything and then start editing, it is much slower.

Cheers,

Mathias

There are demos of each available if you want to compare. Make sure to compare the whole process, including capture, edit, and export.

 

In the past we had issues with export of Camtasia files to an editable format (like Quicktime for FCP), which we attributed to Camtasia's variable frame rates... so if you wanted to post-process in a non-Camtasia environment it was an issue. They may have resolved this, but perhaps others could comment to confirm?

hi all
i'm trying to help a client get setup to do some live screen captures for a demo / spot of an educational web product. we need to show functionality / "game play" as cutaways from a live action shoot. does anyone have a favorite mac app? i usually use iShowU but i'd like to see if there's something better. needs to do good, high quality captures. ScreenFlow seemed promising…
cheers
