Screencasting On Mac
I’m as annoyed as the next guy about how hard it is to find a decent screencast app for Mac. The forthcoming Mac OS 10.5’s new iChat Theater (and the built-in screen sharing/control features) should create some new opportunities for developers, but right now it’s hard to know what works or is worth trying.
Further, I narrowed the field with the following requirement: I need an app that records to QuickTime-compatible files, not Flash. Here’s what I’ve found so far:
- Snapz Pro X, the $70 oft-cited front runner is now native.
- iShowU, $20.
- ScreenRecord, $20.
- Copernicus, $free.
Extra: this how-to pointed out OmniDazzle and Mouseposé as tools to help draw users’ focus during both live or recorded demos.

You might want to check out screenflow at http://www.varasoftware.com.
Time to do a post on Screenflow, guy. It is THE Mac screencapture application. Check out the demo movie and download the demo. It is fully functional except it puts a huge watermark across your output. Still great to see what it can do.
Screenflow won TWO Apple Design Awards at the recent WWDC: Best Graphics Application and Best OS X Application. Not too shabby!
