   Screenflow 4.0.1

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Telestream has released [1]Screenflow 4.0 with a profusion of new
   organization and workflow features added to its popular screencast
   recording app. Among the new features, the release adds the capability
   to merge multiple elements into a single nested clip on the timeline
   (as well as apply filters and video actions to nested clips), plus new
   organization tools to search for specific clips and arrange them by
   name, duration, or type. It also adds support for closed captioning,
   support for the x264 codec to export higher quality MPEG-4 files, a
   recording timer, and a variety of video effects (including advanced
   color adjustments, distortion effects, blurring, alpha mask, color
   effects, and more). Screenflow 4.0 also enables dyanmic updating and
   reloading of imported assets directly into the library, timeline, and
   canvas, however this feature is not available in the Mac App Store
   version. For a complete rundown of the new features, download the PDF
   release notes from [2]Telestream's support page.

   Shortly after the release of the new version, Telestream issued an
   update to version 4.0.1 with fixes for an issue with keystrokes
   displaying, a bug that caused error message and sound problems when
   Remove Background Noise was checked, a recording problem caused by
   disabled color correction on Radeon X1xxx hardware, and an issue with
   performance regression created by decoding video on separate queue from
   audio.

   Owners of previous versions can [3]upgrade to Screenflow 4.0.1 for $29
   (without a new serial number, saved projects will contain a watermark),
   and those who purchased ScreenFlow 3.x between 1 October and 25
   October, 2012 are eligible for a free upgrade to version 4.0.1. Note
   that Screenflow hasn't been updated to version 4.0.1. in the [4]Mac App
   Store as of this writing. ($99 new from Telestream, $29 upgrade from
   3.x, 2.x, or 1.x, 26.5 MB)
