Tutorial: Splitting Clips And Adding Actions In ScreenFlow

ScreenFlow is the premier screen recording software on the Mac and it
features a smooth user interface with powerful capabilities and aesthetically
pleasing effects. It has greatly simplified the tutorial process for my clients
and myself.

How To Split A Clip

The first video demonstrates how to split a video clip in order to remove it
from the timeline, and thus, the final output of a project. This should look
familiar to anyone who has used video editing software, such as iMovie, in the
past. The written steps and tutorial video follow below.
How to Split a Clip

1. Select the video segment in the timeline.
   
2. Click and drag the playhead to the beginning of the segment that needs to be
   removed.
   
3. Go to Edit > Split Clip.
   
4. Reposition the playhead at the end of the segment that needs to be removed.
   
5. Repeat Step 3.
   
6. Select the segment that has been split.
   
7. Go to Edit > Delete.

How To Add An Action

The second video demonstrates the process behind adding an action to a clip in ScreenFlow. Video, audio, screen recording, and callout actions are all included in the software. Each has its own unique property settings that can help to give your videos an interesting, purposeful, and professional look. These individual actions are not addressed in the tutorial. Rather, the process behind adding an action is shown. Fortunately, all of ScreenFlow’s actions can be applied in the demonstrated manner. I recommend experimenting with the individual settings for each action to discover the visual effects that work best for your recordings. The written steps and tutorial video follow below.
How to Add an Action

1. Select a clip segment in the timeline.
   
2. Click and drag the playhead to the location that you would like to add an
   action.
   
3. From the appropriate properties tab, click on the “Add Action” button.
   Note: After an action is applied, all subsequent portions of that clip will
   retain those properties, unless a new action is found.
   
4. To end an action, repeat steps 1-3 using different property settings.
   Note: Although a video action was demonstrated in this tutorial, these steps
   can be followed to employ all of ScreenFlow’s actions.
