Telestream ScreenFlow 2.0 Screencasting Software Launched

Telestream has announced the availability of a major 2.0 release for its award-winning ScreenFlow screencasting studio software for the Mac.
ScreenFlow 2.0 customers can now export and upload SD and HD screencasts directly to YouTube. A full range of new 2D and 3D transitions allow users to add elegant effects to their video productions. Version 2.0 also offers more control over editing, video speed adjustments, audio level adjustments, keyboard shortcuts, the creation of document packages and much more.
Paul McGovern, Lecturer in media/digital applciations, reported: "The best just got better. ScreenFlow 2.0 is the perfect evolution in screencast development. It really is the one stop shop for all things screencast."
David Chartier, Chief Media Producer for Agile Web Solutions, added: "ScreenFlow 2.0 takes a good app and makes it great."
ScreenFlow is a cost-effective software toolkit that makes it easy for software developers, trainers, educators and bloggers to capture, edit and create professional-quality screen recordings and video tutorials for the web. The four-time award-winning screencasting software is useful for the creation of training and promotional video tutorials that enhance learning experiences, presentations and product demonstrations.
According to Screencast Producer Chris Beiting: "ScreenFlow is the secret weapon for my business. Version 2.0 makes my work faster and easier than ever before."
ScreenFlow 2.0 includes a full range of 2D and 3D transitions such as page curl, ripple, spin, flash, cube, swipe, cross dissolve and more. Users simply push transitions together on a timeline, where they can control the time and speed of their transitions. Direct publishing to YouTube from within the screencast application is a new feature that saves users time and effort when uploading and sharing finished productions either publicly or with authorised viewers. Editing enhancements include the ability to adjust clip speed as well as to freeze a single frame of video and adjust the audio pace.
The new audio ducking feature automatically lowers one audio when a second audio begins - for example, lowering the background music when a voiceover begins and automatically leveling it back up when the talking stops.
ScreenFlow 2.0 adds the ability to detach audio from a video clip, so that audio and video can be edited independently. New keyboard shortcuts for pausing, recording, zooming and resizing make ScreenFlow's powerful editing capabilities even faster. Creation of document packages streamlines workflows by allowing users to store all their clips and other media within a single package. Version 2.0 also allows users to copy and paste clips between documents which saves time and effort.
Chuck Joiner, Producer/Host at MacVoices, said: "ScreenFlow 2.0 raises the bar on pro-level screencasting."
