United StatesRecord exactly what you see on the screen and turn it into a screencast in next to no time. Screenium 3 lets you record at 60 frames per second, offering optimum performance for your tutorials, gameplay recordings or any other screen content you wish to record. If you work with an ultra-high resolution 4K or 5K display or a Retina Mac, Screenium 3 puts you on the safe side as it creates the smoothest video quality possible for these types of devices. But Screenium 3 offers much more than ultra-smooth video capture. Take advantage of numerous convenient tools that will help you create your perfect screencast. For example, embed FaceTime camera footage as a Picture-in-Picture clip, add audio comments or hide your desktop or desktop symbols during recording. Screenium also records keystrokes and the mouse pointer as separate tracks so you can visualize pressed keys and mouse clicks or edit them at a later point without any hassle. Screenium's comfortable and powerful video editor provides you with all the tools you need to cut your footage, embed texts or add effects, transitions, or animations. Accentuate mouse clicks, add geometric shapes or hide screen sections that contain personal information. Of course you can also edit audio tracks and add filters. Using text synthesis, you can even add multilingual audio comments or auto-generated voice tracks. Screenium 3 Overview - Ultra-smooth 60 fps recording - Supports any screen resolution - 4 recording modes: Full screen, area selection, specific window, iOS / tvOS device - Optionally embed FaceTime camera footage as a Picture-in-Picture clip - Visualize keystrokes and mouse clicks - Incognito mode to hide desktop, desktop symbols, or simply Screenium - Highly optimized for multi-processor Macs - 4K and 5K recording at full frame rate - Versatile, convenient editor - Versatile video effects and transitions - Templates for text or graphic overlays - Numerous audio filters - VoiceOver using your own voice or auto-generated voice tracks - Export files, share via e-mail, Messages app or direct upload to video portals such as Youtube and Vimeo
Good capture, exports could be better
The video capture works really well, at resolutions and frame sizes Apple's built in screen capture starts to buckle under. Performace is really good, even on older Macs. I would like to see better options for exports however. For HEVC or h.264, you get only a simple bitrate slider. No options for CRF, two pass, or variable bitrate control. As it is, you can export to Prores and then compress with Handbrake, but that's an extra step.
United StatesLooks good so far...BUT,
UPDATE: (5 weeks of use) Problem: I can't adjust sound once a recording starts. I can't use the touchbar, nor the System Preferences ... Sound app to increase the volume. I can't find a way to do this within the Screenium active recording either. Therefore, drop 1 star again. Wanted something more than Viola/Capto or Quicktime so I picked up Screenium. So far, I like its capabilities. Editing is enough for most, but I work video in FCPX so that's not a gating item if I can't do something in Screenium itself. Issues I don't like: Choose to record a specific Window, but if you move the Window during recording, the camera does not track with the Window...strange. Knowing that, its wiser to just use a specified area or whole screen. Seems that unique choice should have Window tracking assigned to it's specs. Also, for a Mac Store macOS app, I find it disturbing to see the default hot keys reference "alt" rather than "⌘". Had to remap them all. ..hence the 1 star deduction
United StatesUGH!@&
I needed a solution to record my screen in retina so I could have a 4k recording and be able zoom-in on areas to see detail. My final video would be 1080 but I needed the source to be 4k and record just a portion of my screen. The app description says it records in 4k and 5k - but the app doesn't do it. It shows the 2x scaled down sizes, not the actual pixel sizes. Really frustrating to trust and pay and then it just doesn't do it. Can I do no stars?

United Statesvs. Screenflow and Camtasia...
Have licesenses to almost everything that records a screen. Big part of my workflow. Grew up using Camtasia on Windows, over a decade at this point. Camtasia 2020 is a decent recorder, outstanding editor on both platforms (but weaker on the Mac). But, in terms of codecs, quality of compression, and output, I would rate it the weakest of these three, on the Mac. If I am animating or annotating, this remains my fave of the 3. No HEVC though. Boo. Screenflow 9.0.3 is a solid little product, much more tightly coded from a native OS X perspective. It captures and outputs very well, but have never quite liked it much as an editor. I usually just output and dump in to DaVinci resolve Studio. It's only $100 or so per year, but this is likely my last year updating. Screenium 3 has made huge leaps since I purchased 3 years ago. Intuitive little interface, tightly integrated with the OS. I use Screenium for one thing, capture and output. I do not edit in it, although you could if it was all you had. I do not animate, annotate or do anything but capture. But, WOW, it absolutely rocks in terms of quality and control. The best of breed, for screen capture and screen output on the Mac, IMHO. Fast, and the developer really keeps up with new OS and OS X beta releases. Well, worth the money, IF, you edit in other programs.
United StatesThe perfect tool!
This app records the screen and the audio. You can either talk while recording or do a voiceover after the recording. It also has an option of recording only a window. It's a very powerful yet easy-to-use tool!
United StatesReliable and stable
I have been using Screenium since version 1 to prepare tutorials for our software. Overall, this software does the job, captures your screen, or a portion of it, with multiple audio tracks. I am updating to reflect changes in version 3.2.9. Until macOS Catalina, Screenium was able to export to HEVC using hardware acceleration, which was awesome. For some reson (I contacted Screenium support over this), this no longers works in MacOS 10.15.1 because Apple changed something. Otherwise, Screenium is reliable and stable.
