In early 2008, I reviewed Screen Flow 1.0.2 ( ), one of the first “screen movie studio” applications for the Mac. At the time, I found the program a solid first effort with some room for improvement.

ScreenFlow 8 used to be an exceptional tool for recording your Mac's screen and it still is — but the new update has it knocking at the door of apps like Final Cut Pro for video production.

One of the best ways to explain a tricky task to someone—whether it’s replacing spark plugs in a car or using an image editor to clean up an old photo—is to simply show them how it’s done.
