ability to delete all unused library media at once  

When there are a ton of items in the library, there's a good chance that some or many are not being used on the timeline. It would be nice to be able to clear these from the library in one click. In the meantime, the process is manual-- individually select the media and delete. If your clip's not on the timeline, it will disappear. If your clip's on the timeline, you'll be prompted to confirm the deletion. I could see how a "delete all unused media" feature might be potentially dangerous, but it would be nice to have.

build-time for screen recording actions  

To the best of my knowledge, one can't fade in and out a "show mouse pointer".

Neither can one fade in or out a "show modifier keys pressed".

The only transitional aspect of the Screen Recording Properties that I can think of is the Pointer Zoom.

My feature request is for there to be "build" menu options, similar to those on the Callout Action menu, for the Screen Recording Properties. Not a huge deal, but it would be nice and it seems like the technology might already be there.

rectangular callouts 

Screenflow's round mouse callouts offer lots of cool options including stroke, feathering, zoom -- but what would be really cool is if one could create rectangular callouts. Workarounds (involving importing PNGS) can be figured out, but what would be great is if the user had a crosshair tool with which he or she could drag out a custom-sized rectangular area callout (with the same options as Screenflow's mouse callout).

ScreenFlow keyboard shortcut reference sheet

for playhead to default to front of video actions placed in beginning of clip 

A video action inserted at the beginning of a clip is, in most cases, a fade in. Fade-ins are of course created by a 0 to 100 percent opacity change. When a video action is created, the playhead defaults to the end of the video action. Could there be a way for Screenflow to know that the video action is being placed at the beginning of the clip so that the playhead could default to the beginning of the transition as opposed to its end? Then the user could go right to the opacity toggle to turn it to zero instead of having to reset the playhead to the beginning of the clip before doing so.

Speedup/slow down clip 

Ability to speed up or slow down a clip

ratios go screwy with cropped video clips or images  

Using the control button while the user drags a handle, the user can crop a video clip or image. But when the user tries to set a video action to that trimmed image, to increase its size for instance, it's busted. It reverts to the original ratio of the image, distorting the image.

Zooming by drawing a rectangle 

I know when I pan and zoom I do not think in terms of "I want to scale to 176% and then drag to where I want", I think about how I want to zoom in on some specific area of the screen. Right now it is a bit of a mess of zoom, drag, zoom, drag, zoom out, drag some more... etc.

As a feature request, I would love to be able to draw a rectangle around the area of the screen I want to zoom in on and let the program figure out what percent that is and have it handle the "dragging".

Transitions? 

Crazy idea, I know, and I don't care for the garbagey gimmicky variety, but it stretches the word "studio" if you don't have support for cross dissolves (beyond hacking it with two layers and farting about with opacity actions)

Basic text/titling capability 

Having a simple text engine with the same support for x-y-z rotation + scale would be handy. Wouldn't need to be anything so fancy - think iMovies or simpler, using system fonts. Just enough to get callouts and simple titles done in-situ.

Icons for easier editing 

Would be great to have icons in the bar below the video - for trimming, splits, ripple delete, marking in / out points and markers. Might be best, if possible, to have it be configurable so it is not overwhelming for those who do not want all of that.

Ability to save output presets 

Since the beginning I've found it a real pain to have to go into the custom settings *every* *single* *time* I want to use a custom output setting. I'd like to save my output settings and have them added as a dropdown option (or better, set to default), that works even when I start a new project.

Having to set this per-project when you're working on a hundred videos is torture, and the workaround of having all of your screencasts in a single project isn't feasible with the single, untabbed timeline and less than robust organizational side of 'flow

keyboard shortcuts for still screen captures 

For the moment, ScreenFlow doesn't do still screen captures. Here are some shortcuts for capturing your screen, and some super-shortcuts for getting those caps into Photoshop with lightning speed:

Apple+Shift+Control+3 - takes a grab of the whole screen.
Apple+Shift+Control+4 - gives you crosshairs to select your area.

Apple+Shift+Control+option+3 - takes a grab of the whole screeen and copies it to your clipboard for Apple+V'ing it into Photoshop to edit

Apple+Shift+Control+option+4 - gives you crosshairs to select your area and copies it to your clipboard for Apple+V'ing it into Photoshop to edit

Apple+Shift+Control+4 then spacebar then clicking lets you grab only the active window.

Apple+Shift+Control+option+4 then spacebar then clicking lets you copy only the active window to your clipboard. (That one's the powerjam!)

no way out of "error opening file" dialog box  

When the user opens a ScreenFlow project and the ap can't find a file associated with the project, a dialog box appears. It says, "Error opening file -- Screenflow was unable to open the file ...[file path/name]." It goes on, "You can select a new location for find this file, or remove it from your document." Aside from the typo in this window, there's a serious problem here -- there's no way to exit out and close the window at this point, either to open a different project or to review your files/folders so that the paths can be corrected. There are two options here, "remove" and "select". The user can't even quit the ap from the dock or menu bar; a Force Quit is required.

MobileMe 

MobileMe connectivity... one click uploading would be excellent.

Click Effect 

Clearly the UI of the Click Effect is designed to allow for more than one option there. Would be great if there were more options and, perhaps, settings for the options (how big of an effect, how fast, etc.)

Action length 

I would love to be able to set the length of actions by time, not just by dragging (another box on the bar below the video?)

easy and auto startup 

The standard way I want to use screenflow is to record all of my public presentations. But the usual way I need to make a presentation (e.g., giving a keynote at a conference) is to be introduced, and then begin. I don't have the opportunity to switch out of my presentation to launch screenflow and then switch back, and sometimes don't have the chance to set up the machine with the projector before beginning.

There should be a way to (1) have screenflow initiate the record upon the initiation of a Keynote presentation, and (2) specify the settings (e.g., which screen to record) even if the machine is not connected to a projector at that moment (e.g., an ability to say "record from external VGA" even if the VGA isn't then connected, understanding that if the recording starts and no VGA is connected, it won't work).

Gaussian blur effect for video clips and images 

For the purposes of focusing the viewer's attention on overlaid titling or overlaid transparent images, it would be cool to be able to darken and gaussian blur any part of a video clip or image on the timeline. (the idea is to have the darkening/blurring options available from the Callout menu ... but without having to create a callout.) What would be ideal is if the blur effect was a separate track on the timeline that would blur all layers beneath it. But that seems like it might be challenging.

Effects for mouse clicks 

Effects for Mouse clicks. Currently when I set the radar effect it appears with every mouse click. When making a screencast for a client I had to fill out an online form. Everytime I clicked in the new field the radar effect went off and it was annoying.

I could use tab to avoid this but also if I grab scroll bar I get the effect so it wouldn't solve the problem entirely.

I tried a callout action but you can only do the magnify or add a circle around the area to highlight it.

I actually like the radar effect.

Is there a way to set which mouse clicks should receive this effect.

If not there should be.

I guess I don't really understand why the mouse clicks setting is not just a part of the callout actions. Does anyone really want every mouse click to be highlighted?
