There are many ways to initiate a recording in ScreenFlow:
New Recording (command-N) from the File menu.
Presents the new recording dialog.
Configure Recording... from the ScreenFlow Status Menu
(
).
Presents the new recording dialog.
Record (shift-command-2) from the ScreenFlow Status Menu
().
Begins recording with the most recent settings you have configured
via either New Recording or Configure Recording....
Add Additional Recording... (shift-command-R) from the File
menu.
Presents the add recording dialog.
To stop the recording, use shift-command-2 (or the hot keys you’ve selected in Preferences).
When you are finished making a recording, ScreenFlow will either create a new document or add to an existing, open, document. Which action occurs depends on whether you had a document open when you began recording:
No ScreenFlow document is open
If no ScreenFlow document is currently open, a new document is
created, and your new recording is added to it.
Document is open
If, when you started your recording, a document was open in
ScreenFlow, then you will be asked whether to add the new recording to
any currently open document, or create a new document.
If you used the Add Additional Recording...
menu item and
you have a saved document open, the new recording will be added to
that document without asking to do so, otherwise you will be asked if
you want to create a new recording or add to a currently open
document.
When a new recording is added to a document, it is added to the
Document Media tab of the document properties. You can then drag it to
the Timeline or double-click it to add it to the Timeline.
ScreenFlow will stop recording when you have less than 100 megabytes free on your system disk volume. This is where ScreenFlow’s temporary files are created and as you are recording screen and video data, these files can become quite large.
