This is uncommon, but if it happens use lossless and scale the monitor resolution. Depending on the visuals and movement in your source, it might mistake certain moments as "still images" and cause dropped frames in an attempt to reduce the file size. To minimize the performance hit, scale your monitor's resolution before recording. This method is very taxing at high resolutions, so you may want to do recording tests first to ensure your computer can handle it.
Screenflow not recording computer audio full#
Everything on your display is recorded in full for every frame. The quality is practically indistinguishable from lossless, so use this unless you have a really powerful computer. For instance, if you record a game window ScreenFlow will focus on that rather than the bits of your desktop. The adaptive capture method will optimize recording performance by focusing more on movement (changing pixels) and less on still parts of the screen. Assuming your hardware doesn't have performance issues, the encoded videos will show all the frames recorded correctly. Playback in the canvas isn't perfect, so it might look like frames were dropped in the recording even though they really weren't. Select an encoding preset (or create a custom one).Crop to your desired resolution, and if you want you can add text, transitions, annotations, etc.End recording, which brings up the post-production interface.Select an audio device or record computer audio.Choose whether or not to include your webcam in the recording.Go to Preferences -> Advanced and choose adaptive or lossless screen recording (more on this below).It records the entire screen, but is highly CPU efficient due to its focus on actively changing frames. ScreenFlow does not capture specific regions of your screen when recording (you can select regions after recording).

Stick to ScreenFlow 4 for now if you want such control. If you want your screen recording to be as close to perfect as possible, use FFmpeg instead! Furthermore, ScreenFlow 5 no longer has the custom codec dialogue box, which limits the control you have over things like gamma correction, frame reordering, key frames, etc. There is some slight loss compared to lossless RGB capture with FFmpeg. Important: ScreenFlow's capture is not 100% pixel or color accurate.
