Create Cinematic Screen Recordings for MacOS/iOS with Screen Studio

[@yaneev.t]

thanks for this preview, i'm watching it a year later and there are so many improvements!

[@dave-swift]

Thanks for the comment! Yes, Screen Studio is constantly improving. Very impressive.

[@amirsigari]

Thank you for the suggestion, I actually installed today and absolutely love it ! Thanks

[@dave-swift]

Great to hear!

[@DarrinRich]

Is there something like this for windows that you recommend? I do have camtasia

[@dave-swift]

Sorry, not that I know of.

[@DarrinRich]

@@dave-swift thanks. Ill keep an eye out for something similar for windows

[@dave-swift]

Otherwise Costco has Mac minis for $500 ;)

[@DarrinRich]

@@dave-swift that's true. I got out of the Mac and ios ecosystems a long time ago. Trying to stay away. Lol

[@udo9999]

I only realized at the END of your video that this is ONLY for Mac. I have Camtasia for Windows though, and I guess, this is kind of similar (and in some parts better).

[@dave-swift]

Just updated video title to include MacOS/iOS! Camtasia is a totally different flavor of screen recording, IMO. ScreenStudio is really for product demos. At least right now.

[@udo9999]

@@dave-swift Thanks for updating!

[@dougscott188]

Interesting. I use Loom and while this seems nice it does not appear to have the sharing options of Loom.

[@dave-swift]

You’re correct. No sharing options here! It’s not meant for async communication, it’s meant to make a polished product demo.

[@dougscott188]

@@dave-swift thanks for letting me know. It is nice.

[@vop1551]

They do have it as a planner feature in their knowledge center, so I’d keep an eye out.

[@rogue_carlisle6167]

how is loom, did you take a lot of time to learn it?

[@dougscott188]

@@rogue_carlisle6167 very easy to use highly recommend and the new AI features are mostly useful.

[@Borysulanenko]

absolutely sick! thanks for this review.

[@dave-swift]

Glad you liked it!

[@siyaram2855]

How does this compare to screenflow when it come to quality?

[@dave-swift]

Quality of the screen recording should be identical. Screenflow has a much more robust editor. Screen Studio has automated zooms and mouse smoothing. I record 99% of my videos with Cleanshot X/SwiftCapture and edit in Final Cut Pro.

[@siyaram2855]

​@@dave-swift Thanks for your reply. How come I missed the notification. I find screenflow recording to be sharp even after cropping. I wonder how they do it.

[@dave-swift]

I believe I know why... When you record your screen on the mac, you're recording 2x the resolution you think you are. 1920x1080 is actually 4K. This is because of the Retina technology that all Macs have had for quite a while now. Essentially, the pixel density is super high. So when you record at 4K and zoom in even 2x, there is no loss of clarity on a 1080p video. This is similar to KZbinrs like MKBHD who have been recording on 8K Red Cameras, so they can zoom/recompose the shot in post without noticeable quality loss. p.s. KZbin is terrible at notifications for replies. I have to actively seek them out.

[@rogue_carlisle6167]

is screenflow easy to use?

[@dankelly]

Any idea when there will be a PC version?

[@dobroslav.radosavljevic]

Not planned right now

[@dave-swift]

I don’t think a PC version is likely.

[@dankelly]

@@dave-swift 😥

[@HeyWorld-o8j]

@@dankelly Sadly, you can only run Windows in Parallels.

[@CarlBroadbent]

Once the camera is selected you can’t cut the reel up and have some parts with camera and some without can you ? Let’s say half way through you don’t want the camera on

[@dave-swift]

Nope, you can't. Definitely a needed feature.

[@CarlBroadbent]

@@dave-swift yeah it’s a pain. I’d have thought once you split the clip you could reset each section. 😥

[@dave-swift]

Turns out building an editor is not easy. Wish this were a Final Cut plugin instead. :)

[@AndrewDarlow]

Great review, thanks!

[@dave-swift]

Thank you!

[@mohamedyousry9298]

Is there a similar tool for Windows that has the same features as enlarging the screen while talking?

[@dave-swift]

Not that I'm aware of.

[@joshgilmore]

Is there a way to record the internal computer audio?

[@dave-swift]

Yes, there is an option in the record systems to record system audio.

[@dec7952]

So with Cleanshot X, Would it make sense to get that as well as this?

[@dave-swift]

I have both, I use cleanshot most of the time but if you want a cinematic look, this will get you there. For long form tutorials, like I produce, I find the cinematic look to actually get a little fatiguing. I prefer it to look more real.

[@dec7952]

Ok noted! Wasn’t sure which one to get. 😊 Thanks for the reply as well

[@dave-swift]

​@@dec7952 for sure! I get Cleanshot as part of Setapp. You should consider that if you haven't already. It's amazing. (my referral link) daveswift.link/setapp

[@emrahylmaz3723]

Dont buy! 89$ not worth it.

[@thejackleader]

Can you pause recorder and go back or does it have to be filmed in one take?

[@dave-swift]

No Pause! Cleanshot has this, but it doesn't do the fancy zooms, etc.

[@KnowNShare-Pk]

hI, i used screen studio but at the end i found tow face recording, one is over another sometimes during zoom feature one face view over lapped with other, what is this issue, how can i remove other camera view.

[@dave-swift]

Yikes, I don't know. I haven't encountered that. I would reach out to their support: [e-mail]

[@rogue_carlisle6167]

in the video you were using the free version features or the pain ones?

[@dave-swift]

I have a paid license. You can try it for free but exporting requires a license.

[@rogue_carlisle6167]

@@dave-swift thank you for your response.

[@francomerlo6419]

Is there something like screen studio for windows?

[@dave-swift]

Not that I'm aware of. MacOS has a lot of screen recording APIs that make this type of tool possible.

[@showingaustin]

Thanks, so much Dave. This is such a great detailed tutoria! I am trying Screen Studio now and it is great. Have you tried Tella?

[@dave-swift]

No I haven't. I honestly wish these apps didn't try to include built in editors. I really just want a multi-track recorder for video. Choose your sources and hit record. Edit where you'd like (FCP, Resolve, Premier). That would be a great simple tool!

[@showingaustin]

@@dave-swift just curious as I do use Screen Studio now ;)

[@dave-swift]

For sure, I'm just putting my dream app out into the universe. I hope someone makes it! I hope Screen Studio is working well for you.

[@shreybhagat]

how can i remove the background?

[@dave-swift]

Make sure you record a single window and then go to the background tab in the editor when you're ready to edit.

[@NatGreenOnline]

I wish Screenflow had all these options.

[@dave-swift]

I'd love to see Screenflow modernized. It hasn't changed in a meaningful way in quite some time!

[@omkartadse7812]

Thanks man !!!

[@dave-swift]

Thank you! Appreciate the comment.

[@mariomarquezt]

Software looks great, too bad the updates are only for a year

[@dave-swift]

You can use it forever. You just don’t get the nearly daily refinements they’re putting out. I think this is a very reasonable business model.

[@spreadthegarden]

Mac Schmack. 😁😂🙂😁😂🙂

[@dave-swift]

I’m a Mac.

[@JonDavisJr]

@@dave-swift 🍔🍟😁

[@emrahylmaz3723]

89$ too much :D Good luck! I dont buy

[@dave-swift]

Some would say it's a bargain :) To each their own.

[@saschatribula2650]

compared to loom which is 15 a month it probably depends on how long you use it

[@rogue_carlisle6167]

is it too much compared to other software? if it's easy to use not bad. but for a year might be too much yaa

[@luke2937]

it’s a bargain lol what

[@shawnastephens7021]

Screen Studio has now switched over to a subscription based model so the previous price tag that was $89 was DEFINITELY a bargain!! I wish I was able to pay that price now..Lol!
