Even better, unused sections of longer clips will be excised so that only what is in the timeline is preserved.

When you choose to Archive a project, ScreenFlow will automatically see which clips have not been used and will remove them from the file. This potential headache is now a thing of the past with the new archiving feature. The new destructive archival tool can save you a heck of a lot of disk space (Image credit: telestream) This would not only be time consuming, but also easy to get wrong, especially if your project was a complex one. Until now, you might have to manually delete any unused clip which would unnecessarily bloat your file size and needlessly take up storage space. When you’re done with a project, chances are you might wish to save the construct should you need to revisit it at a later date, and perhaps draw footage from it for a new video. You can also edit the nested clips individually should you need to, giving you a welcome and much needed enhanced flexibility when working on a complex project. This makes it easier to more them around, or even apply the same effects to the lot. Basically, it allows you to put multiple clips into one. Nesting isn’t a new concept and has been available on numerous other video editors for a good long while, but it’s good to see its inclusion in ScreenFlow. Nesting finally arrives on ScreenFlow, allowing you to simplify a complex edit (Image credit: telestream) Until now, if you were to record your computer’s audio, and somehow, an email notification which you’d forgot to mute chimed, overlapping the audio you were trying to capture, you’d either be stuck with it, or have to redo your capture. One very interesting development centres around audio capture.

Sadly you have no way of refining this, so your mileage may vary - although the simplest backgrounds unsurprisingly lead to the best results. If you don’t have a green screen, you can use this to cut out or blur out anything that’s behind you. One new built-in filter we liked is the Automatic Background Removal.

We particularly liked the option of importing your own Cube Look Up Tables to use your own custom effects - if you have them.

You choice of effects has been parred down, with each being represented by a large thumbnail preview of the actual selected clip - which means you can see immediately how an effect will affect the look of your footage. Text-based also meant no previews, leading to a poorly used feature. Sure, you had a search field, but if you weren’t sure what an effect was called, it wasn’t much use. Prior to Version 10, the available effects were presented in a long text-based list. The reworked filters and effects panel makes it much easier to see how they will affect a selected clip (Image credit: telestream)Īnother improvement can be found in the Effects section.
