The new Styles feature offers customized media configurations that streamline individual asset editing, saving time in the editing process. The new Templates allow users to pre-create ScreenFlow projects with placeholder clips in the timeline for important recorded media, as well as external media. Once a template is saved, future ScreenFlow recordings are opened directly in the template project, reducing the amount of editing required to complete jobs. For users creating software tutorials, serialized videos, or even videos with similar formats, the new Templates in version 8.0 allow for quicker video production and less tedious editing, resulting in more time spent on the creative aspects of video production. ScreenFlow version 8.0 adds a variety of new features including new Styles and Templates to increase editing productivity and streamline editing workflows, as well as an all new integrated Stock Media Library.

Just be judicious in how you use this powerful feature, or again, you risk distracting your audience from your main story. ![]() ![]() It’s OK to call attention to something with a transition. If you exercise this discipline in keeping your transitions simple and smooth, when you do choose to use a fancier transition – perhaps imported from Keynote or PowerPoint – it will really add impact to your video. It’s easy in ScreenFlow to apply a smooth transition but be aware of how long your transition lasts on screen, and how noticeably it disrupts the flow of your video – and keep it to a minimum.ģ) Add the “BAM!”: Add occasional pizazz when you want impact Long, drawn-out transitions, or transitions that seem clumsy or poorly implemented hinder the flow of your story. Try to keep your ScreenFlow transitions as smooth and as unnoticeable as possible. People remember great Hollywood movies for their emotional impact not for their transitions (with the possible exception of Star Wars) – and this applies to ScreenFlows as well. Great video editing is about creating maximum emotional impact without being noticed. Try to stick with a few basic transitions within any one project and keep them consistent and simple.Ģ) Keep it smooth: Keep transitions as unnoticeable as possible In general, most stories can be told with short dissolves, a wipe or with simple fades in/out. Just because ScreenFlow has 16 different transitions to choose from does not mean you should try to use all of them in one project!

Whether you’re working on a software demo, a tutorial, or a short home movie about your trip to Hawaii, you are telling some sort of story. Most ScreenFlows, after all, are ‘stories’. Recently, I’ve been thinking about the importance of transitions, and how we can use them to enhance our ScreenFlows. ![]()
