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.

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.

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.

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.

ScreenFlow keyboard shortcut reference sheet  

For your ScreenFlow-ing convenience, Scraster Professional Screencasting created a ScreenFlow keyboard shortcut reference sheet in PDF form. You can download it here:

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.

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!)

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.

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).
