Since I also have a license for Camtasia 3 for Mac, would there be any benefit for me to install Camtasia 3 for Mac as well? Is there anything Camtasia 3 for Mac does that ScreenFlow doesn't do that would warrant me bouncing between ScreenFlow and Camtasia when screencasting and teaching with Accordance on my Mac, or should I simply stick with ScreenFlow all the way? Should I even install it as a 'backup' in the event ScreenFlow would ever be difficult and I needed a 'backup'? It made screencasting and teaching with Accordance a joy and breeze. Back when I was last on a Mac, I absolutely loved ScreenFlow and used it heavily. I have a license to both ScreenFlow 6 and Camtasia 3 for Mac.Ĭurrently, I've installed ScreenFlow 6 on my Mac.
