Telestream Releases ScreenFlow 2.0

Mac screencasters rejoice! Just a few months after TechSmith releases Camtasia for Mac, here comes Telestream with version 2 of their highly popular screencasting application, ScreenFlow. I tried out Camtasia when it was released but held off on purchasing a copy after I heard that ScreenFlow 2.0 was coming out soon. Although I was pretty impressed with Camtasia for Mac, there were a couple of features that I was hoping it would have but did not - such as mouse callouts (highlighting/putting focus on the mouse pointer and its actions in order to emphasize it), for example, which has been part of ScreenFlow since version 1.0. And now that version 2 is available, I will be testing it out to see how it compares with Camtasia for Mac so I can finally make a decision as to which one I should get. I think it's great that there's finally some real competition going on in the Mac screencasting arena. Hopefully, this will mean that both companies will work even harder to try and improve their respective applications. And ultimately, Mac screencasters will have better options to choose from.

Check out ScreenFlow.
