How Do I — Only Show Front Window

Only Show Front Window

ScreenFlow always records the whole desktop.

Oftentimes you want to only show a screencast of a particular window.

Since ScreenFlow always records the whole desktop, you will have to crop the screen recording.

There are two ways to accomplish this task:

  • Crop Canvas

    Will globally crop the canvas.

    You can very quickly chop everything out of your screen recording except the frontmost window with this feature.

  • Crop a clip

    If you hold down the control-key when you move the edges of a clip in the preview area, it will crop the clip.

    This is useful if you are going to want to add a reflection to your cropped screencast.
