Hey,

I just switched from PC to MAC, still getting used to it!

One thing that i have noticed is camtasia for mac is useless, totally un-user friendly and nothing like its PC brother!

Is screenflow a better product for mac users!

Thanks

    In my own suggestion Screenflow is much better for Mac Machine , But if you want take your video marketing to a new level then Sony Vegas HD or Adobe Premiere Could be useful.

    Thanks

      To be honest, I use Camstudio which is free and really does the job for me. Unless you are going to be making loads of videos, I would give that a try first and see what you think.
      Can't hurt can it.

    In your shoes, I would put the Mac in the bin and get a proper computer, lol.

    Seriously, I adore Camtasia and you have given me another reason (as if I needed one) not to take Mac seriously.

      I bought a couple of Macs (MacBook Pro and Mac Pro) when starting iPhone development. My intent was to make Macs my primary computers.

      After a year or so I ended up running Windows on the Macs more than OSX. I kept the Mac Pro and sold the MacBook.

      The only thing I use the Mac for now is iOS development. I bought an Asus 17" i7 gaming laptop for about 1/3 of what the MacBook cost me.

      I am definitely a PC.

    Sorry if my post was a little harsh and glib.

    Is it not possible these days to run Windows on your Mac as well as the Mac OS?

    Maybe that is your answer.

    Anybody to weigh in on the Mac side. I am buying a Mac so I can create and upload apps to the Apple store and deciding whether I just switch everything over. My biggest concerns are video software to replace camtasia and microsoft office. Any input appreciated.

    I use Screenflow on my Mac almost daily and it is a great program and well worth the money. They've just upgraded it too so this is a good time to try it.

    We have Mac's and PC's and I love Camtasia on the PC but it's not that good on the Mac. For Mac, Screenflow rocks.

      Camtasia for Mac and Camtasia (for PC) are completely different products and aside from the logo do not resemble each other at all. Camtasia for Mac has some cool annotation features, but I feel it is the "poor cousin" to Screenflow, always trying to catch up, so to speak.

      The designers of Screenflow - (Telestream) are naturally Mac people and have a full arsenal of video software products all designed for OS. I always tend to lean on Mac developers, rather than PC developers that have a Mac version.

      My vote is a measurable YES for Screenflow.... and congrats on your new Mac btw.

        Camtasia is so outdated, even on my pc it crashes. After getting a Mac and using Screen Flow I have never looked back.

    I have been a long time Mac user and have been doing a lot of video marketing. I used to use camtasia but was not too happy with it after a while. I tried using it under parallels also and it wasn't bad but I still was not satisfied. I just recently switched to ezs3 video hosting and I love it. It's about the same price as camtasia I believe but is much better on the mac.

    I have heard good reviews about Screenflow on Mac rather than Camtasia. Camtasia is good on Windows, tried it myself. I'd surely checkout Screenflow for my Mac. Is their price the same or which is cheaper? Sorry if I had to ask in this thread. Wanna know, too coz I'm interested as well. Thanks!

    Sounds like the best thing to do is either stay with Camtasia on the PC or switch to Screenflow if you have a Mac. No reason to try Camtasia on a Mac.

    Hello!

    It's useful and really good but I'm not saying it's the best. Sony Vegas HD is also very great for a great video! You should try it though, ScreenFlow is also great and better for Mac users. It's easy to use and very effective and has less hustle. Try it.

    Best of Luck!

      Hi guys,

      The 2 best programs for screen capture on the Mac are ScreenFlow and iShowU.

      iShowU is simpler with less features, but it has the ability to automatically follow your cursor around when you're zoomed in a bit. Very cool.

      Good luck!
