what app to use for a screencast
3. ScreenFlow 5. ScreenFlow 5 is not just a screencasting app. It is also a fully-featured video editor. After capturing your screencast, you can edit it and add annotations, text, and so on to make your tutorial easier to follow. The app costs $99.99 and is suitable for professionals. You can get it from the App Store.
Once you start the Reflector app, you will have to use a separate screencast utility, like we mentioned before, for your Mac or Windows PC for the actual recording part. We recommend CamStudio (open source and good) for Windows and Jing (free) for Mac.
Screencast-O-Matic (Windows/Web-based/Free). Although Screencast-O-Matic boasts a desktop app for Windows, itâs the softwareâs Web-based offering that caught our eye. Screencast-O-Matic quickly allows for the broadcasting of your entire screen, or whatever your webcam sees. You can also publish whatever you record straight to YouTube.
